    　　The Chinese New Year is now known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the beginning of spring．Though there are some sayings about its origin, all agree that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese means "year", was originally the name of a beast that started to eat pleople the night before the beginning of a new year．

    　　One story goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would take in a great many people at one time．People were very afraid．One day, an old man came to their help and said he would stop all this．He said to Nian, "I hear that you are very strong, but can you eat up all the beasts on earth instead of people who are too weak to be your enemies? " "Yes, " Nian agreed with him and went to kill many of the beasts on earth．People were very happy because those beasts also did bad things to people and killed their farm animals from time to time．

    　　After that, the old man, who was a god, rode on the beast Nian and left．Nian was gone, and other beasts also went into forests; people began to enjoy their happy life．Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper-cuts on their windows and doors at each year's end to drive Nian away, because red is the color the beast felt most afraid of．

    　　From then on, every year at the beginning of spring, people prepare to Guo Nian"．The word "Guo Nian" means "go through the Nian safely"．Putting up red paper-cuts to drive Nian away and making dumplings for a better new year are still an every year doing by the Chinese people．However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, they just feel the color and the food make the New Year very enjoyable．

    Scars of Love

    Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

    He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鳄） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

    Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

    The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外伤）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

    You and I can identify with （认同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

    56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

       A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

    C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

    57. From the passage we can infer ________.

       A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

       B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

       C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

       D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

    58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

       A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

       C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
