I was one of the seven children and went to the same school as my three elder sisters and brothers. We all went to the plant sale held in early May every year, just in time for Mother's Day.        When I was in Grade Three, I wanted to surprise my mother with a gift, but I didn't have any money. My elder sister gave me some. I carefully made my selection(选择)  at the plant sale.  I looked at all the plants on sale very carefully and finally chose a lovely geranium (天竺葵).  Once I had brought it home, I hid it on the neighbor's porch (门廊).        On Mother's Day,  I was bursting (突然打开) with pride when I gave her the plant. I remember how bright her eyes were, and how pleased she was with my gift.        A few years later, my younger sister wanted to buy a geranium for our mother. As my elder sister did for me, I gave her some money to buy one at the plant sale. She arrived back from the sale full of nervous excitement. The geranium was hidden in a paper bag under her sweater, "I looked at every plant,"  she explained,  ' and I know I got the best one ! "        With a sweet sense of family tradition(惯例) , helped my little sister hide that geranium. I was there when she gave it to my mother, and I watched them both bursting with happiness. My mother noticed me watching. She gave me a soft, secret smile. I felt a tug(拽) at my heart as I smiled back.  I wondered how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child. But as I watched her eyes light up with pleasure at the sight of the most special gift, I knew she was not pretending.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解 I was one of the seven children and went to the sam..”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．
