【解析】本文写了米桶挑战，“米桶挑战”与“冰桶挑战”概念相似，但参加者不是要淋米，而是向有需要的人捐出一桶米，拍下照片，再向其他人发出挑战，以此来帮助需要的人。

【1】B考查对上下文的理解能力。由Rice Bucket Challenge”． It is about giving a bucket of rice to someone who is in need and taking a picture named “Rice Bucket Challenge” to share online．可知米桶挑战不是向某个人的头上淋米，而是赠给需要的人一桶米，后文是解释米桶挑战，所以前一句是误解，所以选B。

【2】G考查对上下文的理解能力。由后文冰桶挑战的开始，可知此处是提到了冰桶挑战，所以选G。

【3】D考查对上下文的理解能力。由The challenge has gained a lot of support with students signing up in Indian Institute of Management, and more and more people join in it可以知道越来越多的人加入米桶挑战，所以D选项中也是有人加入，所以选D。
