分析 这篇小短文讲述了刚毕业的儿子找工作时的经历.由于经济危机,很少公司会招募新员工,而作者儿子看中的公司只招一个人却面临着二十多人共同竞争的局面.一路顺利通过前几轮面试,到达最后一次面试的时候却很奇怪,公司直接叫候选者们回家等消息,而实际上最后一次的考验就是看各位对收到落选结果时的反应.文章告诉我们就算对待让我们失望的人,也应满怀感激,这是一种对别人劳动成果的尊重.

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.
