Subject: Hello from Edinburgh!

Dear Aleks,

This is my second month in Edinburgh — can you believe it? I love it here. I’m so happy I decided to go to university in Scotland.

Life is very different here. I share an apartment (公寓) with two other students. Each day I get up at around 7:30 am and walk to the university alone. On the way I eat breakfast in a coffee shop. At university I have classes all morning. My classmates come from all over the world — there are lots of Chinese and Nigerian people. We all have lunch together in the dining hall — usually sandwiches. In the afternoon I read books in the library. In the evening I go to the cinema or go for a walk around the town with my classmates, except on Fridays and Saturdays, when I wash the dishes at an Italian restaurant. I’m even learning some Italian!

I miss living at home, especially Mum’s cooking and your jokes. Edinburgh is very small compared with our city Toronto in Canada. And it’s cold, even in summer!

I miss you, little brother — write soon!

Yours,

Stan

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于中考所占的比例很大，应特别引起注意。本文的1、2、3、4四个小题都是细节理解题。做细节题具体方法与步骤如下：

（1）略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。

（2）按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词，如for example，first，second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。

（3）将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上，快速通篇跳读，眼睛自左至右，自上而下呈Z形扫视，直到找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
