网友回答
(答案→)Yes, he did.
解析：
【小题1】.本文的第二句He had a bad cold and coughed day and night.提到约翰患了重感冒并且咳嗽。所以本问题的回答是肯定的，故本题应填Yes, he did.
【小题2】.本文第二段第二句Take it three times each day before meal.提到每天饭前吃药，每天吃三次，故本题的答案为三次，故本题的空填Three。
【小题3】.本文的最后一句是Use it before December1st,2012，意思为药的有效期是到2012年12月1号，在此时间之后，是不可能吃此药的，故本题的回答是否定的，故本题的空格填No, he can’t。
