Tom owned a small shop. He worked hard. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.      Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom's shop.      The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom's prices were and then made his lower than Tom's.      People quickly stopped buying things from Tom's shop. They bought everything from the supermarket instead. Soon Tom's business was very bad and he was angry.      "It's not fair," Tom thought, "I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson." The price of steak in the supermarket was $ 5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window,"Steak—$4.50 a pound."      The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. "Steak—$4.00 a pound."      An hour later, the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak—$3.75 a pound." Ten minutes later the sign in Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 3.50 a pound." Five minutes later the sign in the supermarket said, "Steak— $ 2.50 a pound." Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom's window said, "Steak—$ 1.00 a pound."      The manager of the supermarket ran cross the street into Tom's shop. "This price cutting must stop," he said, "Steak is costing me $ 4.00 a pound. I'm selling it at $ 2.50 a pound. I'm losing money every minute!"      "I'll stop cutting all my prices," Tom said, "if you will stop cutting all yours."      The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook  hands.      Tom smiled. He had not lost any money on the steak. He didn't sell steak at all.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 Tom owned a small shop. He worked hard. It 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．
