It was Christmas. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days.      Each day the children produced some new  1  -Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone,  2  from far away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles (small balls, made of glass or stone) and competed with one another to bring the  3  ones.      The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were  4 . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she  5 . After school I sat down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it had been  6  many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing."For me?" I asked. She said not a word, but   7   her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old  8  and saw the question in her dark brown eyes.   9  I knew-she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or  10  her childish joys or sorrows.      I meant  11  when I said in a low voice, "Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it." Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together. And for that moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest  12  of all: her trust and love.

据专家权威分析，试题“完形填空。 It was Christmas. I was teaching in a small town..”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．
