Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised (答应) her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little.       "If there were an accident." He says, "they'd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast."      But Linda has promised that she would ring. "However,"she says, "it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world .It's only six pence per second (每秒六便士)".      If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat, David says, "And one minute's nearly four pounds (英磅)."       "That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat," Linda answers.      She has asked the man at the hotel (旅馆) desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.      "Hello, Mum. It that you?" She says.      "Six pence per second," David reminds (提醒) her.      "Hello, love." It is Mrs. Lee, Linda's mother, speaking from London. "I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It's a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes."      "Yes, Mum." Linda puts in. "I Just wanted to ring to…"       "I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you…" Mrs . Lee is a great talker.      "Nearly four pounds." says David.      "Yes, all right," says Mrs. Lee, "But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work…"      Once again, Mrs. Lee talks about the pass, and there is no stopping her.      Four pounds fifty, says David.      At last , Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.      "There ! That wasn't long, was it?"      "Four pounds, ninety pence." David answers. "And you didn't even say that we've arrived."

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读短文，从各小题所给的三个选项中选出一个最佳答案。 Linda ..”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．
