2. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?

A.What Xie knows.
B.How long Xie helped carry the student.
C.How Xie takes care of the students.
D.What the students' physical conditions are.
解析:C 段落大意题。根据“She takes care of each student according to their physical conditions ... She used to help carry a student ...”可知第三段主要介绍了谢小华如何照顾学生。

C

【分析】这是一道英语阅读理解的段落大意题，解题思路为：先明确题干要求分析第三段的核心内容，再抓取段落中的关键语句，梳理语句围绕的核心话题，最后对应选项排除非主旨内容，选出正确答案。
