专题07 中考人物故事类阅读
知识点一：人物故事类阅读特征
阅读人物故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。阅读理解题往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。事实类的理解题都可以从阅读材料的表层文字中找到答案。在阅读故事类短文时，应指导学生理解文章的深层含义，也就是它的主题。在此需要注意的是，现在的阅读理解题在测试事实类的理解题的同时，往往有一道推理类题。
知识点二：人物故事类阅读的考察方向
①小说片段型（结尾会出现—Adapted from这种字眼）
②事件排序题（Which is the right order of the following events ）
③人物性格归纳题
④最佳标题题
类型1：小说片段型
一般遇到小说型的阅读，我们需要观察一下这本小说平时是否有看过，如果看过的情况下，我们对文中故事发生的背景就比较熟悉，对于人物关系也能弄得比较清楚，但是如果没有看过，我们也不需要慌张，可以认真朗读全文，理清楚故事发展的脉络和人物之间的关系，可以一边看文章一边进行圈画和梳理。

“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!” says Dorothy to her friends.
Everyone is very happy.
“We must go back to the Wizard(男巫) of Oz and tell him,” says Dorothy.
Soon Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard’s room. But no one is there.
A voice says, “I am the Wizard of Oz.”
“Where are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me,” says the Wizard. “Who are you and what do you want ”
“Don’t you remember us I’m Dorothy! I’m here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas.”
“Yes,” says the Scarecrow. “You must give me a brain.”
“And you must give me a heart,” says the Tin Woodman.
“And I want some courage,” says the Lion.
“Is she really dead ” asks the Wizard.
“Yes, she is!” the friends all say.
“Come back tomorrow,” says the Wizard. “I must think about it.”
“No way! I’m going to eat you!” shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy’s pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can’t believe their eyes.
“Who are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am the Great Oz,” says the little man. “Please don’t hurt me!” “But the Wizard is a big head with no body,” says Dorothy.
“No, it’s a beautiful woman,” says the Scarecrow.
“You’re wrong. It’s a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs,” says the Tin Woodman.
“No,” says the Lion. “The Wizard is a big ball of fire.”
“You are all wrong,” says the little man quietly. “__________ I’m from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That’s why I’m here. The people here think I’m a wizard because I come from the sky,” says the little man. “I live inside this room and never go out. I can’t let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I’m a real wizard.”
“The Emerald City isn’t green,” continued the little man sadly. “It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It’s only a trick! Everything here is a trick!”

In Flanders, a small town in Belgium, lived a little boy called Nello. He became an orphan (孤儿) at the age of two. Then he lived with his grandpa in a small house. Life was harder for them.
Their life depended on Nello’s grandpa. Every morning, the old man would collect fresh milk from one house to another. He then had to load (装载) the milk on a cart and sent it to the city. Growing up a little older, Nello would try to help his grandpa to travel from Flanders to the city.
One day, as Nello and his grandpa were going home from the city they saw a large dog lying on the side of the road. The dog was motionless.
“What happened ” asked Nello. “Is the dog dead ” His grandpa touched the nose of the dog with his hand and examined the body of the dog. He then said to Nello, “The dog is seriously ill. We have to take him to a vet (兽医), or he will die.” With the words, his grandpa put the dog on the cart and the two went home. The fact was that the dog was abandoned (抛弃) by his master because of his serious illness. Seeing the dying dog, Nello was heart-broken. The kind hearted boy took good care of him. Even though Nello and his grandpa did not have enough to eat, he would still feed the dog with milk and bread. Day by day, the dog began to stand on his feet and became stronger and stronger.
“We should give him a name,” said Nello one day to his grandpa.
“That’s a good idea,” replied his grandpa. “What name do you want to give him How about Patrasche ” said Nello.
“Patrasche is a beautiful name,” said his grandpa.
From then on, Patrasche became a member of the family.
One day, as Nello and his grandpa loaded the cart with milk and were ready to start their journey to the city, Patrasche stood in front of the cart.
“Out of the way, Patrasche,” said Nello. “We’ll be late.” But Patrasche refused to move. He was simply staring at Grandpa and wagging(摇摆) his tail. “What does he want to do ” asked Nello.
His grandpa smiled and said. “I believe our Patrasche wants to help pull the cart.” Hearing Grandpa’s words, Patrasche was wagging his tail even harder.
Patrasche had been badly treated by his master all his life. Never had anyone treated him nicely as Nello and his grandpa. Patrasche was thankful for the kindness he received, so he wanted to help, Grandpa tied a stripe on Patrasche, and he started to pull the cart right away.
From then on, people in town would see such a scene a large dog was pulling a cart loaded with milk with the grandpa pushing behind and Nello helping at the side.

Katie was waiting for Gulliver’s calls. Instead, she just heard sparrows making noise in the bushes. “Maybe Gulliver missed the harbour.” Dad said. After breakfast, Katie took her camera to the harbour. All the colourful boats made pretty pictures, but not the one she wanted most.
Katie waved to Ernest, her uncle’s neighbour, on the boathouse. The gull’s name, Gulliver, was given by him. The gull’s size and his single leg made the bird itself different. But Ernest told Katie what Gulliver did that first summer Katie and her dad came caught everyone’s attention. Young Katie lay in her stroller (婴儿车) on the floating dock (码头) when Uncle Ralph and Dad were repairing boats nearby. The waves from the passing boat made Katie’s stroller shake strongly. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Gulliver made the loudest cry. Dad and uncle rushed to Katie and stopped the stroller from falling into the water. They kept a close eye at Katie after that. Another summer Katie was three years old, she liked to touch everything. But Dad didn’t watch her every minute when she tried to catch small ducks around or fish from water. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” The gull’s cry brought Dad back in time. He stopped Katie as she tried to follow the small ducks running towards water. Several summers passed, and Gulliver continued to call out as Katie tried new things.
This summer Katie did the usual by-the-sea things she’d learned to do. One day, she rowed a boat out but was trapped on a rock by a storm. As she looked up and tried to catch the last warmth of the sunshine through dark clouds, she saw a single white feather. A gull feather She searched the sky for an answer. Putting her arms around knees, she closed eyes to hold in the tears (眼泪). “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Katie sat up. “Katie! Katie!” Soon, Dad and Uncle Ralph appeared. “How lucky! We heard Gulliver as we came around the rocks,” Uncle Ralph said, “At
least… it sounded like him. Strange, he was nowhere in sight.” Katie remembered the feather. “I thought I heard him, too.”

Jordan had his eye on a scoring record. Jordan took a deep breath as he stood in the doorway, looking in at the basketball court. Maybe today I’ll make history, he thought.
The city’s youth basketball league was holding a celebration. Today’s championship game marked 50 years since the league’s first title game (冠军争夺赛).
Before the game, Jordan looked over a special program. It listed the winners of each championship game and the top scorers.
Jordan stopped when he read the name of the top scorer from a game 30 years before. “Devin, look!” he said to his friend, “You see who has the all-time record My dad! Twenty-four points. But he never told me that.”
“Twenty-four points,” Devin said. “That’s great.”
Jordan’s best was 19 points. He was the league’s top scorer.
When his parents showed up at the gym, Jordan brought the program over to them.
His dad laughed. “I had quite a game that day,” he said. “But look at the score. I prefer to trade all my points for a win.”
Jordan hadn’t noticed that his dad’s team had lost by one point.
“That was great group of teammates,” Dad said. “I’m still friends with a lot of them.”
As game time came near, Jordan slapped hands with his teammate Tara and then started to warm up. The courts filled up quickly.
Jordan felt strangely calm. He’d played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home. Jordan had led his team to a victory over the Lions last season. Why shouldn’t today be like that
Jordan grew even more confident when he hit the first 2 shots (投篮).
The Lions called a break. Jordan ran to the bench and jumped up and down with excitement.
“Great start,”Coach said. “But those guys are tough. They’ll come back on us.”
He was right. By half time, the Lions had pulled ahead, 27-24.
Jordan looked up at his parents. His dad nodded and called, “Great work!”
But Jordan didn’t feel quite as confident as he had before.
The teams traded baskets throughout the second half, with neither building a lead.
Eleven seconds left. The scoreboard was clear: LIONS 51. BADGERS 51.
Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court. “Look for Devin inside, but take the shot if you’re open,” he said.
Jordan glanced at his dad again. His dad pointed to Jordan, then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other.
“Me ” Jordan mouthed.
Dad nodded. Jordan had scored 23 points. Another basket would break the record. And it was the right time to do it!
Jordan ran right, then left, but he was still a long way from the basket.
The viewers started counting the seconds. “Four... three... two.”
Jordan rose to shoot. As the Lions rushed toward him, he passed the ball to Devin—wide open near the basket.
Devin turned and shot. The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points.
“Yes!” Jordan shouted. After celebrating with his team, he ran to hug his parents. “You still have the record,” he told his dad.
Dad smiled. “You have something more important. A championship. And great teammates. Congratulations on your history!”

That night, July 11, 2022, Nick Bostic was driving down the streets of Lafayette, Indiana, when he found a two-story house was on fire.
Flames (火焰) were climbing up the front porch. Without pausing for a moment to think about the danger, Bostic stopped his car and ran from the back door into the burning building, which belongs to the Barrett family.
Bostic had just started climbing the stairs when he looked up and saw four faces appear from a room at the top of the stairs and look down at him, their eyes wide. “Your house is on fire, you need to go!” Bostic yelled.
Bostic hurried the four girls into the fresh air. “Anybody else in there ” Bostic asked.
“Kaylani is in there! We can’t find her!” Seionna, the eldest of the girls, screamed referring to her six-year-old sister. Without hesitating, Bostic ran back inside.
By now, the whole side of the house was in flames. Bostic went upstairs. He searched every bedroom. No kid. The smoke was thick now. He lifted his T-shirt, trying to cover his mouth and nose when he heard the sound of crying, from the dark smoke below.
Bostic felt about in the blackness and heat, moving downstairs toward the sound. Then suddenly Kaylani was in front of him. Bostic quickly lifted the girl into his arms. Where is the front door ! Bostic remembered seeing a window on the side of the house where the fire hadn’t reached.
Bostic climbed back up, made it to the room and broke the glass, Kaylani still in his arms.
Bostic and Kaylani looked down at the open grassy space. The girl said, “” He was thinking the exact same thing.
But they had little choice. The flames were inching ever closer. Holding Kaylani tightly in one arm, Bostic ran forward and threw himself out of the window. He managed to land on the other shoulder. Kaylani was almost unhurt.
Days passed. Bostic woke up from first-degree burns to his leg and arm, He felt like he’d just done what anyone would have done in that situation. But outside the hospital, the story of Nick Bostic was already spreading. He was a hero—the pizza man who had run into a burning building not once, but twice.

They heard city people liked pots, so they decided to sell their pots to a big city. Through more than ten years of hard work, they made the best pots in the town. They hired a ship to take all the pots to the city.
Unluckily, the ship met a strong storm on the way. After the storm, the ship landed. All the pots were broken into pieces. The two men’s dream of becoming rich was broken along with the pots.
Jim suggested that they should stay in a hotel for the night and walk around the city to enjoy the sights the next day. Jack looked at Jim in pain and asked, “You still want to go around the city Don’t you show any care to these pots We worked so hard to make them!” “We are unlucky enough to lose the pots. We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly.
Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days. During their stay in the city, they found by accident that people there decorated their walls with things that looked like what they used to make pots. So Jim and Jack used the broken pots to make mosaic tiles (马赛克瓷砖) and sold them to the city people. In this way, they made much money and returned home happily.

Sam and I walked along the main street, the small buildings giving us a break from the sun. Through the window of the candy shop I could see tubes of colorful jelly beans. A sign on the window’s glass read LOST: Gold and blue necklace. Verry special. If found, call Chrissy at 555-9924.
Chrissy had drawn a crayon version of the necklace at the bottom of the poster and a border made of orange exclamation points.
The necklace looked different from the one I clutched (紧握) in my pocket, I decided. Rounder, bluer. The poster appeared old and weathered. It must have been put up months ago.
“Hey,” Sam asked, “are you coming with me ”
We continued to walk, and I noticed four more posters. Someone must have returned that necklace by now, I thought.
Once home, I placed the necklace into my old yellow retainer box. I’d cleaned it out and made it my special place for special things. So far, it held twin miniature seashells, a pebble that looked exactly like a bird’s egg, and 11 half-burnt birthday candles.
I looked at the stone, so clean and polished. Could it be Chrissy’s Was it her “very special” necklace
“Uncle Coop,” I called, “would you take me to the store ”
We went into town together and stopped at Luann’s. Uncle Coop let me borrow his cell phone to call the number on the poster.
“Hello ” said a girl’s voice after one ring.
“Hi,” I said, ▲ . “Is this Chrissy ”
“Yes.”
“Um, my name is Ryan. I think I may have something that belongs to you.”
“My necklace ”
Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting at a table across from Chrissy. We were drinking milkshakes and sharing an order of sweet-potato fries while Uncle Coop and Chrissy’s dad drank coffee at the counter.
“It was a gift from my mom,” she said, “before she got sick.”
Chrissy looked down at the blue stone in her hand.
“I’m really sorry,” I said. “Holding on to it somehow makes things a little better,” she said. “Do you know what I mean ”
I thought about the mean kids at school and how holding on to beautiful things often made me feel better.
I nodded. “I think I do.”

A. An Honest Girl B. Lost and Found C. An Important Gift D. Family and Love

“Did you see that ” Joe said to his friend Bill
“You’re a great shooter!”
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.
“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.”
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.
“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.”
“You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.
“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
“Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.
Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.
“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

One of America’s best-known and most-loved authors is Louisa May Alcott. She wrote poems, plays, short stories, and books. For over a hundred years, her works have been popular among both adults and children. How did Alcott become a famous writer
Born in 1832, Alcott grew up in Massachusetts with her three sisters. When she was very young, she loved to write. She would think up wonderful stories that she turned into plays. Alcott and her sisters acted out the dramas. Alcott always played the most exciting parts: ghost, bandits, and evil queens. She also loved playing and wandering outdoors. In fact, she was considered quite a “tomboy”. In those days, girls were expected to be ladylike, which meant mostly sitting around looking pretty. This was not Alcott’s way! She once said that no boy could be her friend until she had beaten him in a race. Girls had to climb trees and leap fences with her if they wanted to be her friends.
Alcott’s family was poor. At age fifteen, Alcott decided to help out. However, it was not easy for women to find work in the 19th century. Alcott worked at any job she could find. She took care of children, she taught, and she washed laundry for other people.
Alcott’s love of writing was always an important part of her. She wrote from her own life experiences and from her imagination. During the Civil War, Alcott volunteered to work as a nurse. She wrote about this work in her book Hospital Sketches. She also wrote thrillers (惊悚小说) that were full of suspense. When her publisher asked her to write a book for girl. Alcott turned to her own life.
It was then, in 1868, that she wrote what was to become her most popular book, Little Women. The novel is set in New England during the Civil War. It tells the story of four sisters growing up. The family is very similar to the Alcotts. The book’s main character, Jo, is based on Alcott herself. Like Alcott, Jo is a determined young woman with a mind of her own. The book was an instant success. It is still popular today and has been made into a movie. Alcott also wrote children’s books with boys as the main characters. This was the case in two other Alcott books, Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
Early in her career someone once told Alcott that she should give up writing and “stick to teaching”. It is lucky that Alcott paid no attention to this misguided person. She knew what she wanted to do with her life and she did it!

Five years ago, when Zhu Qing was 28, he paid a visit to Africa. While there he discovered the beauty of the land as well as the difficulties the local youth were facing—educational, economic(经济的) and environmental problems.
As a global affairs(国际事务) and international peace studies major, Zhu did field research at more than 10 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), national forest parks, governments and companies in six African countries including Kenya, Uganda and South Africa. He then decided to help solve these real-world problems by setting up a consulting firm(咨询公司) called Pumbaa Eco.
“Whether it is a government, an NGO or an individual(个人), they cannot solve all the social problems on their own. Many gaps can be filled by business power, in an efficient(高效的) way.” said Zhu.
Pumbaa Eco started plenty of projects to empower young African people and encourage cultural exchange.
The Africa True Story is a project that aims to draw the public’s eye to Africa and help African content creators. More than 100 young journalists (记者), environmentalists, scholars and business workers in Africa have taken part in it.
They have written articles and research reports and made videos about their lives or related social issues. Some of
their works were posted on platforms like Toutiao, Wechat, The Paper and the IFeng website. Some works were sold to companies so these young people can make money as well as express themselves.
Pumbaa Eco has also worked with African Wildlife Foundation to hold wildlife protection forums(论坛), and organized dance and music classes as well as soccer competitions for kids in slum areas(贫民区). Now they are working to build an international volunteer center in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
“The center will open this spring. It will be a space for youth from across the world to communicate and a platform for sharing all kinds of projects.” explained Zhu. “More young Chinese people can connect to Africa more easily, too, whether through ecological(生态的) research trips, ecotourism(生态旅游) or volunteering experience.”
“I myself have achieved a sense of self-fulfillment(自我实现) through my work. I hope my work can help more young people, from both China and Africa, to live their lives to the fullest.” Zhu added.
34. What did Zhu Qing learn after his field research in Africa
A. There were not any consulting firms in Africa.
B. African youth were facing real-world problems.
C. The beauty of Africa could attract many tourists.
D. People in Africa didn’t know how to do business.

① attracting the talented African people to work in China
② organizing classes and competitions for some poor kids
③ selling their works on different platforms to make money
④ starting some projects to support African content creators
A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①③ D. ②④
36. What do we know about the international volunteer center in Nairobi
A. It will provide communication space for people of all ages.
B. It will be the biggest platform for sharing different projects.
C. It will work to hold activities in slum areas all over the world.
D It will encourage cultural exchanges between China and Africa.
37. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Zhu Qing regrets not doing his work to the fullest.
B. Zhu Qing feels proud of what he has already done.
C. Zhu Qing has finished his work for helping the youth.
D. Zhu Qing will explore more fields to increase business.

On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug ”
I laughed and warmly responded, “Of course you may!” She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (幼稚的) age ” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.”
“No, seriously ” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don’t even know it.” she said.
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability,” she added. “But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. ”
She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics (歌词) and live them out in our daily life.
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years. We’d always keep her in mind because it is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
42. Why did Rose go to college according to the passage

Seiichi Sano, an 89-year-old Japanese man, rides a wave at Katase Nishihama Beach, Thursday, March 30, 2023. He has been recognized as the oldest male to surf（冲浪）by the Guinness World Records.
But maybe he will just keep surfing. “I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”
Sano said he got the idea to try surfing from a worker at his local bank. The man’s skin was always dark and he did not look like a usual worker. His secret to keep healthy and energetic, he said, was surfing. So, Sano found a teacher.
Sano gets out most weekends on the black-sand beach. “I don’t consider myself an old man,” he said in his
wet suit, board standing next to him. “I have never thought of myself as an old person. I always feel that I can still move forward. I can still do it. I can still enjoy it.”
Several young students who also work with Sano’s surf teacher talked about Sano.
“I think age doesn’t matter in surfing,” a 12-year-old surfer said.
“He is so amazing,” added his younger brother.
“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Sano’s surfing teacher. “I was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was.”
Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job. Surfing helps make him less stressed. “People often say that surfing is life itself,” he said. “I think it is true.”
33. What does the underlined word “recognized” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Led. B. Given. C. Accepted. D. Collected.
34. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.

It was my first day at school. It was also Miss Caroline’s first day to be a teacher.
Miss Caroline began the day by reading us a story about cats.Then she started to teach us the alphabet (字母表).
When Miss Caroline discovered that I was literate (有读写能力的), she said, “Tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading and writing with a fresh mind.”
After supper that night, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, “Scout, ready to read ”
I told Atticus I didn’t feel very well and didn’t think I’d go to school any more if it was all right with him.
“You never went to school and you do all right, so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Grandaddy taught you.”
“No, I can’t,” said Atticus. “I have to make a living. Besides, they’d put me in prison if I kept you at home. Now what’s the matter ”
I told him what happened at school. “Miss Caroline said you taught me all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more. Please don’t send me back, please sir.”
“First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of people. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—”
“Sir ”
“—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Atticus continued, “You learned many things today. Miss Caroline learned several things herself. We could not expect her to learn all our ways in one day, and we should understand her when she knew no better.”
“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more…”
“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it ”
“Yes, sir.”
When Atticus looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is ” he asked.
“Breaking the law ”
“No, an agreement. It works this way,” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK ”
“Yes sir!”
