While making burgers that first afternoon,Luther told Erb that his 25-year-old daughter had just been diagnosed with cancer in Vancouver,two provinces and about 1,000miles away. "It struck a chord.I lost a son four years ago and know the worries a parent has,"says Erb."I decided on the way home I'd Leave him some money so he could go and see his daughter."
A few days later,Erb was on his way back to British Columbia after delivering his father's ashes to a family cemetery plot in Saskatchewan.He stopped at the diner for another burger.which Luther offered to buy him because Erb had tipped him well just a few days before.Erb said"no way"and,while the burger was grilling.he asked the diner owner for a pen.then scrawled out the check and left it on the counter."Luther looked at the check and couldn't say anything.He just held his arms out."Erb says.

點評 人物故事類閱讀理解文章是高考英語常考材料之一.這類文章一般可分為人物傳記和短篇故事兩類.這兩類閱讀材料一般較長,即詞數(shù)多,而且命題也較多,特別是推理判斷題和事實細節(jié)題多.在做此類閱讀理解題時往往是材料看得懂,題目不好做的感覺.因此,在閱讀材料時要重點放在事情發(fā)展的過程和結果上,注意把握事件的發(fā)展進程及人物之間的關系,細節(jié)與主題的關系,用以說明人物性格特點的事實、作者的態(tài)度等,這些內(nèi)容往往是推理判斷題的命題點.至于事實細節(jié)題的解答,同學們切忌想當然或者憑印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.
