In 1989, an earthquake almost flattened (铲平) America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the earthquake, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover (发现) that the building was as flat as a pancake.      He was surprised at what he saw, but he suddenly remembered the promise (承诺) he had made to his son: "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. He began to think of the place where his son's classroom might be. He rushed there and started digging through the ruins (废墟). As he was digging, other parents tried to pull him off, saying, "It's too late! They are all dead! You can't help! Go home! There is nothing you can do!" But he only replied, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The policemen also tried to pull him off and asked him to go home. But he only replied, "Are you going to help me now?" But everyone was sure it was over. No one helped. He went on alone to see if his son was still alive, 8 hours… 12 hours… 36 hours… then, in 38th hour, he pulled back a big stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed, "Armand!" He then heard, "Dad, it's me. I told the other kids not to worry. I told them if you were alive, you'd save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved! You have promised no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!"      "Come out, boy!"      "No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you will always be there for me!"

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 In 1989, an earthquake almost flattened (铲平) Am..”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．
