Once there was a piano player in a bar (酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.     "I don't sing," said the man.      But the lady told the waiter,"I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!"      The waiter shouted across the room, "Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!"      So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!      He had talent (天赋) he was sitting on!

  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。
