I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday:"Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."     AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret (秘密). My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.     We couldn't afford all the necessary medication (治疗) for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.     I did not share my burden (反应) with anyone, I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults (成人) could be cruel (残酷). When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.     I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.     I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him. He had never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ..”主要考查你对  故事类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

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．
