题文
阅读理解 "How was school, Ben?" I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten (幼儿园) this year."Thework is too long...and there's not enough time to play, " he replied.
I couldn't help but remember Ben's own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction (反应) to the
first day of school.Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her
little sister."I
want to go 'sool'and you not let me!" my threeyearold daughter announced angrily after her big sister got
on the big yellow school bus.
When Julie returned home that afternoon I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, "How was
school, Julie?" Julie replied, "I didn't learn to read today."
This year as the school bus went by my house, my mind went back to those school days again.I could
almost smell the chalk dust in the air.I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to
do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean.It was fun to be
"chosen" for eraser cleaning duty.This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together
while sneezing and coughing.No_wonder_so_many_babies_now_have_allergies_(过敏症), it's_simply_
because_we_all_have_chalk_dust_in_our_lungs!
On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would ready long before it was time to
leave for school.We didn't miss having backpacks because we had cigar boxes.We carried our small
supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores.We saved the cigar boxes
and used them from
year to year until they fell apart.
The first day of school was exciting.It was a new beginning.The doors of knowledge had been opened.The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember.It's a big step for a small child
toward leaving babyhood behind and so "there isn't enough time to play".
No matter how old we get, nor how much we learn, it still seems like "The work is too long...and
there's not enough time to play."1. Why did Jane become angry according to the passage?A. Because she didn't learn to read on the first day of school.
B. Because there was too much work for her to do at school.
C. Because she had no time to play at sch
ool.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 "How .....”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。
