Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.     Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms."It must be Bob," John thought.     Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the door way.     "I'm looking for a few days' work," the carpenter said.     "I do have a job for you," John said."Look across the stream at that farm. That's my neighbour Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence-an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbour!"     The carpenter said,"I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."     Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials(材料) ready and then he was off for the day.     About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!     It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched (伸出). "Hi, John! You're quite a fellow to build this bridge!"     Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands."I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other." said Farmer Bob.     Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go."No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you," said Farmer John."I'd love to stay," the carpenter said,"but I have more bridges to build."

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．
