The little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her piggy bank (存钱罐) from its hiding place. She poured all the coins out on the floor and counted them carefully.         Holding her piggy bank, she ran to the nearby drugs store. she placed her coins on the glass counter.        "I want to buy a miracle for my little brother. He is really sick." said the little girl to the shop assistant.        "I beg your pardon?" the shop assistant could hardly believe what he heard.        "His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him."        "We don't sell miracle here, child. I'm sorry," the shop assistant said.        "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs."         In the shop was a well-dressed customer (顾客). His name was Carlton Armstrong. He asked the little girl, "What kind of miracle does your brother need?"         "I don't know," she replied. "He is really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it."          "How much do you have?" asked the man. "One dollar and eleven cents," she answered. "Well," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents? That is the exact price of a miracle for your little brother. I have the kind of miracle you need."          He took her money in one hand and held her hand with the other. He said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents."          Carlton Armstrong saved Andrew's life by giving him a successful operation.          "That operation," her mother said in a low voice, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost." The little girl smiled. She knew exactly how much the miracle cost-one dollar and eleven cents. 1.

故事类阅读

考点名称：故事类阅读

• 故事类阅读：
  文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
  命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
  阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

• 故事类阅读注意：
  初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
  阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
  
  特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
  而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
  
  凡事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。
  
  在阅读故事类短文时，应理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
