Huihua, a Chinese girl, and Mary, an American student who was studying Chinese in China, were on their way to a bookstore. As they got to the bookstore, they saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry, he missed the last two steps, and fell to the ground. He tried hard to get back to his feet while people around him laughed. Luckily, he seemed to be OK.      Mary was worried. She found Huihua smiling a little and was not comfortable about it. "Tell me, Huihua, how could people laugh when someone felllike that? Do they care at all? Shouldn't they go up and ask the young man whether he was hurt?"      "They knew he wasn't hurt too much." Huihua said.      "But I still don't understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture, people would do anything but laugh!"      Chinese Perspective (观点)      This is an example in which the Chinese and the westemers explain a smile differently. Very often, the Chinese people would also laugh or make a joke to ease the embarrassment (缓解尴尬) when they are caught in the embarrassing situation. However, if someone gets hurt seriously, it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him instead.      North American Perspective A westemer would explain laughter in such a situation as a sign of either insensitivity (不关心) or, worse, pleasure that the person falling had hurt himself because that person was disliked. A westemer's reaction would have been to rush over, help the person up, and to ask him," Are you OK'?" If a westemer fell, he, like a Chinese person, might probably make a joke out of the incident (事件) if he was not hurt. If two close friends are walking together, and one trips but clearly isn't hurt, a common joke is to say "Have a nice trip". However, this joke would be made only between two people who knew each other well.

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．
