13．Marc had worked in the city hall's engineering department for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map，full of names and places．And then something happened that filled him with shock．
One August afternoon，he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer．He checked the listed details．It was not there．It was a lost，a forgotten street，which existed in the heart of Montreal，not half a mile from city hall，and no one had known．He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart．
At his first glance，Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name．It was exactly like a bottle in shape．With the sun shining on the garden plots，and the blue sky overhead，the street gave him a sense of peace．A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right．
He announced，"I'm from the city engineering department，madam．"
The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down．
"So you have found out at last，"she said．"We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials．Then，after a while，we were sent no notices，so we paid no more taxes．No one bothered us at all．It was a long time before we understood that in some way they'd forgotten about us．"
Marc nodded．Of course，if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall，no inspectors would go there，no tax collectors．All would pass merrily by．
"For several years，the tenants（租戶） here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord．The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died．I have lived here for more than twenty years．I hope to end my days here as well．"
She smiled pleasantly at him，apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces．
"You remind me of my nephew，"she said suddenly．"He was a dear boy．I was heart broken when he died．I'm the last of my family，you know．"
Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors．He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill．His heart warmed to this old lady．"I wonder，"he said slowly，"I am a good tenant，and I wonder…"
"Oh yes，"she leaned forward eagerly，"you could have the top floor of my house．I'm sure it would suit you．"
Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can．As far as he was concerned，Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever．

點(diǎn)評 故事類文章在閱讀過程中，我們一直在某個線索的引導(dǎo)下，隨著作者的思路去了解一個故事或一件事情的始末，因此會感到比較輕松．命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力． 閱讀故事類文章時，應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情節(jié)，立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象，從而達(dá)到解題的目的．
