13．Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D．C．I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street，my mind was flooded by memories of the past．I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played．As I viewed these once familiar surroundings，images of myself as a child there came to mind．However，what I saw and what I remembered were not the same．I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched．
My old apartment building，as I remember，was bright and alive．It was more than just a place to live．It was a movie house，a space station，or whatever my young mind could imagine．I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement．This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark，and there were so many things there to hide among．There was a small river in the back of the building．We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves．
However，what I saw was completely different．The apartment building was now in disrepair．What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in．The windows were all broken．The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks．The river was hardly recognizable．The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead．The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible．It was really heartbreaking to see all this．
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood．However，I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same．I suppose it is true when they say，"You can never go home again．"

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．
