    When I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back
    of a children's magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the
    kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and
    a pocket full of money shouting, "Mama, all the people couldn't wait to buy my cards!" A salesperson
    was born.
    When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall
    listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone's spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything.
    When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, "Dad, I want to make people feel like that." My
    father asked me what I meant. "I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler," I replied. A
    dream was born.
    Recently, I began pursuing my dream of motivating others. I realized that everything I had
    accomplished - the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and
    managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager- had prepared me for this moment. I
    told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height
    in career. He told me to proceed and he believed I would succeed.
    Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was
    laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my
    former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never
    leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if onlys" later on.
    A motivational speaker was born.
    When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles(奇迹) really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn't miss a mortgage payment. And I was
    able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客户). I discovered the incredible power
    of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my
    dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one
    wall she marked, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."
    1.Why was the kit sent for?

故事类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 故事类阅读

故事类阅读概念:

这类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。


故事类阅读应试技巧:

1、抓住文章的6个要素:
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情:
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度:
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断:
分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。
