1.The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all.It was not a birthday gift or anything like that.It was simply sort of a hello gift.That is how we do things in my family.We don't really give gifts for special occasions.Instead,we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them.
That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma.But it was like my imagination had dried up.I have gone through all of the gift ideas in last years,fruits,wines,cheeses,little handmade crafts,and anything else that you can give to a grandmother.I had even given her gift watches,and CDs.What else was there?
I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women,because for men,you can always get the usual things,such as video games,power tools and things like that.With a woman's gift idea,however,you have to know more about her.You cannot just get someone a book or a CD.You have to know all about her taste in movies,music,and literature.
My grandmother likes to read a lot,but what she likes is always pretty popular.I didn't want to get her a book that she might not like,but I was running out of time.I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her.After all,I hadn't seen her for a long time.I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored.
Finally,I came up with the perfect gift idea.I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year.It wasn't a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers,but it really worked in the situation.You see,I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan.
Anyway,I had been learning about bookbinding recently,and had pretty much mastered the art.I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories,bind it altogether,and give it to her.It took hours to complete,but it was well worth the effort.She absolutely loved it.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
