Last year, I was invited to attend a party for "Tuesday's Child", an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus. I was asked to attend because I am on a TV show. I went there because I care.      At the party, they had all kinds of small rooms. I got into a special one. In this room, anyone could paint a square. They gave everyone paints in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to paint something beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw the pictures were all bright, except one.      The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright colours that other children used.      At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me that he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and neither was his mother's. He looked straight into my eyes and said, "There is nothing anyone can do to help."     I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certainly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand why he had made his heart a dark colour. But I told him that it isn't true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving him or her hugs. Then I hugged him for a long time. I thought my own heart would burst with the love I felt for this sweet little boy. After that, I asked him if he felt any better. He said he did, but he was still sick and nothing would change that. I walked away feeling sad.      As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug on my jacket. I turned around and the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He told me, "My heart is changing colours. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really work."      On my way home, I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter colour.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Last year, I was invited to attend a party for "..”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．
