1.Fifteen years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2:40 A.M.When I arrived there,I walked to the door and knocked."Just a minute,"answered a weak,elderly voice.
After a while,the door opened.A small woman stood before me.She was more than eighty years old.By her side was a big bag.
When we get into the taxi,she gave me an address,and then asked."Could you drive through downtown?"
"It's not the shortest way."I answered quickly.
"Oh,I'm in no hurry,"she said."I'm on my way to a hospice (臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院).I don't have any family left.The doctor says I don't have very long."
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (計程表)
For the next two hours,we drove through the city.She showed me the building where she had once worked,the neighborhood where she had lived,and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness,saying nothing.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me
"How much do I pay you?"she asked.
"Nothing."I said.
"You have to make a living,"she answered.
"Oh,there are other passengers."I answered.
Almost without thinking,Igave her a hug (擁抱).She held on me and said."You gave an old woman a moment of joy."

分析 十五年前,我開出租謀生.一天我凌晨兩點四十去接一位乘客,當我到那,我走到門前去敲門:"等一會"一個虛弱的蒼老的聲音回答
一會之后,門開了.一個矮小的女人站在我面前.她八十多歲了,她身邊是一個大包.
我們走進出租車,她給我一個地址,問我:"能帶我穿過市中心嗎?"
我立刻回答:"這不是最近的路"
她說:"我不著急,我在去臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院的,我沒有親人了,醫(yī)生說我時間不長了."
我悄悄的把手伸過去將計程表關(guān)了.
接下來的兩個小時,我們穿過城市.她和我說她曾經(jīng)工作的大廈.她的鄰居,還有她像個孩子一樣跳舞的地方.
有時她讓我在一個特別的大樓面前慢一點,坐著看著外面的黑暗不說一句話.
我們沉默的到達她所給的那個地址.
她問:"多少錢?"
我說:"不用"
她說:"你還得賺錢生活."
我說:"還有其他的客人."
我?guī)缀鯖]有思考,擁抱了她.她抱著我說:"你給了一個老人一份快樂."

點評 明確任務(wù)后,應(yīng)迅速閱讀全文來了解文章主要內(nèi)容,以及文章的感情基調(diào)、作者的意圖、態(tài)度傾向.在材料后的問題設(shè)置中,經(jīng)常有對文章大意的考查.對于概括大意的題目,需要通篇考慮,對要點加以歸納概括,這類題目有時可以從文中找到答案,但有時需要用自己的話來概括.這類題,屬于難度較大的題,對文章還得再讀一讀,才能總結(jié)出來.
