题文
阅读理解。 once there was a young woman who didn't like her job. Every day when she came home from work, shetold her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. "Leave
that job," her husband told her.
"Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave." And so she remained
unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children."Leave that job", her grandchildren told her."Oh, I will," she said."But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I can't just yet."
I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store,
moaning and groaning in the sun."Why is your dog acting that way?" a customer asked the store owner." Oh",
answered the man,"He's lying on a nail." "Well, why doesn't he move?""Because it's not hurting him bad
enough."
That's true for people, too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we
know. But we are wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills
our passion or destroys our dreams.
Wilbur Wright once commented,"We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating
feeling of being so passionate about something I was working on that I couldn't wait to get back to work. And
people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too." They get excited about work.
They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things don't change as they sometimes will, they
refuse to let environment hijack their self-esteem, passion or dreams. 1. The woman complained to her husband every day because_______. A. she didn't have enough money to support her family

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 once ther.....”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。
