阅读理解 In my profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous childreninfected with the virus that causes AIDS.The relationships that I have had with these special kids have
been gifts in my life.They have taught me so manythings, but I have especially learned that great courage
can be found in the smallest of packages.Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected.From the very beginning of his life, he
was dependent on medications to enable him to survive.When he was five, he had a tube surgically
inserted in a vein in his chest.This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack
on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube
to his bloodstream.At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease.It was not
unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicineladen backpack and
dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon.All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure
joy in being alive and the energy it gave him.Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved
so fast that she needed to dress him in red.That way, when she peered through the window to check on
him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler.He grew quite
ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIVinfected mother.When it became apparent that he wasn't going to
survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death.She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying
too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, "I might die
soon.I'm not scared.When I die, please dress me in red.Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too.I'll
be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me."1. What is the boy Tyler's attitude towards death?A. pessimistic

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 In my.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
