Once upon a time there lived an old man. He had three sons. One day, he called them together
and said, "Sons, I will die soon. To my oldest son I give half my camels, to my second, one-third
(三分之一), and to my youngest, one-ninth (九分之一)." Soon after that he died.
Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn't know how to do as their
father said. They thought a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some
of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father. At last they went to their father's old
friend and asked for his advice. As soon as he heard their story, he said, "I will help you. I was a
good friend of your father's. I am old. I have only one camel, but take it-it is yours." The three sons
thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished,
The oldest took half that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest
took one-ninth, that was two.
After each had got his camels, they found that there was still a camel there. So, to show their thanks
to their father's friend, they gave the camel back to him.

考点名称：故事类阅读
故事类阅读：
文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。
命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件的之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
阅读这类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，即使是碰到深层理解题也可迎刃而解。
故事类阅读注意：
初中生接触到的阅读材料大都是故事类。
阅读故事类的材料，应该抓住人物线索、地点线索、时间线索和情节发展线索。
特别注意的是，以上线索往往是并存的。因为情节的发展总是涉及到人物的变化、时间的推移、场景的变换等。
而阅读材料后的阅读理解往往会围绕这些内容设计一些事实类的理解题。
凡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，往往有一道推理类理解测试题．
