题文
阅读理解。 A brief act of kindness brings an unexpected insight (领悟).I was shopping at a department store andhad just boarded the clown escalator (电动扶梯) when I noticed a woman standing to the side. She
looked about 65, and her expression told me she was scared. I turned toward her and asked, “Do you
need help?"
As the escalator continued moving, I heard the woman reply softly, “I’m afraid." There was a hint of
doubt in her voice. "Want me to come back and get you?" I called to her. She nodded. But by the time I
reached her, the woman had reconsidered. "I don't think I can do it", she said.
I was suddenly aware that I had made a far greater investment than I expected. "I know we can do
it," I said. "I can hold on to you." She looked down at the beast (庞然大物). Then her eyes came
back to mine, looking doubtful "This has never happened to me before," she said, as much to herself
as to me. I felt that her sudden fear had to do with the escalator's mechanical nature, its basic inhuman
untrustworthiness.
I took her arm. "Shall we?" She made a little sound of alarm as we stepped on, but we'd passed the
point of no return. She relaxed slightly as the stairs moved us downward. "I don't understand this at all,"
she said. As we neared the bottom, her grip (紧握) tightened again, but we did fine. "I'm so grateful."She
began. "It was nothing," I said. "I was happy to do it.
"Happy? Yes. I do very little to help others. I am busy caring for a family and working full time. For
a brief moment, I had a flash of insight into why someone would become a nurse or a social worker
or a priest. When I helped the woman, I felt pure and whole, purposeful. It was a happier moment than
I'd had in weeks.1. Why did the old woman look scared at first? Because ______.A. she was afraid to talk to strangers.

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：
一、文章特点：
生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。
二、解题技巧：
针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
