It's an amazing change when a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly. That just might explain Taiwan singer Jolin Tsai's choice of name for her latest album (唱片／专辑).      On March 27, Tsai will release Flower Butterfly, her first album for Warner, the company she signed to recently.      The 28-year-old Tsai is known for the challenges she takes on. This time it is ballet. For the video that goes with the album, she had to pirouette (用脚尖旋转) 20 times without stopping. It was hard going. When she started training she couldn't even manage to spin (旋转) three times.      "It took me longer to learn the move than anything I've ever tried!"she said.      If the ballet was hard, the photo for the album art may have been harder. Tsai had to hang upside down from a wire for an hour. It was so that her shadow (影子) would seem like a butterfly spreading its wings.      But Tsai is facing another challenge. Her old record company (唱片公司), EMI will release an album of music Tsai recorded when she was with the label. This means that Flower Butterfly will be fighting it out in the market with old Jolin music.      But Tsai didn't seem to care about the problems with her old company:       "I've trained myself to be strong. I hope that other girls will follow my example and be themselves. Don't be afraid of what other people say. One day you'll turn into a beautiful butterfly."

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．
