题文
阅读理解 I was 13 years old. My family had moved to Southern California from North Florida a year before.I hit adolescence with a vengeance. I was angry and rebellious, with little regard for anything my parents
had to say, particularly if it had to do with me. Like so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from
anything that didn't agree with my picture of the world. A "brilliant without need of guidance" kid, I
rejected any overt offering of love. In fact, I got angry at the mention of the word love.
One night, after a particularly difficult day, I _____________, shut the door and got into bed. As I
lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled
it out and on the envelope it said, "To read when you're alone."
Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I opened it. It said "Mike, I know
life is hard right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don't do everything right. I also know
that I love you completely and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever
need to talk, and if you don't, that's okay. Just know that no matter where you go or what you do in your
life, I will always love you and be proud that you are my son. I'm here for you and I love you - that will
never change. Love, Mom.
That was the first of several "To read when you're alone" letters. They were never mentioned until I was
an adult.
Today I travel the world helping people. I was in Sarasota, Florida, teaching a seminar when, at the end
of the day, a lady came up to me and shared the difficulty she was having with her son. We walked out
to the beach, and I told her of my mom's undying love and about the "To read when you're alone" letters. Several weeks later, I got a card that said she had written her first letter and left it for her son.
That night as I went to bed, I put my hands under my pillow and remembered the relief I felt every
time I got a letter. In the midst of my turbulent teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I
could be loved in spite of me, not because of me. Just before I fell asleep I thanked God that my mom
knew what I, an angry teenager, needed. Today when the seas of life get stormy, I know that just under
my pillow there is that calm assurance that love - consistent, abiding, unconditional love - changes lives.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 I was 13 y.....”主要考查你对 [故事类阅读 ]考点的理解。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。
