John was seven. He lived with his grandparents in the countryside before he came to our class because his parents had to work in the city. They also had no time to take care of him. So he was a new student in our class. And he knew nothing about the things that happened in big cities. Now he was standing in the front of the classroom because Mr. Smith, the teacher, was asking John a lot of questions. But John couldn't answer any of them. Mr. Smith then decided to ask him some easier questions so that he could answer a few.      "What was Thomas Edison?" he asked.      John thought for some time and then answered in a very low voice, "A singer from America."      "No. Thomas Edison was a great American inventor," Mr. Smith said. He was getting a little angry now because everyone knows the great man, but he was trying not to let his students see that. Then he asked again. "Who was the first president (总统) of the United States?"      John thought for a long time, but said nothing. Mr. Smith shouted, "George Washington!" John turned back and began to walk to his seat sadly.      "Come back!" Mr. Smith shouted. "I didn't tell you to go back!"      "I'm sorry," John said. "I thought you were calling the next student."

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．
