阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job.Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.

  "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president."We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks."None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr.Braun." Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer.”

  Mr.Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr.Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine."The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr.Gokyigit

  The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch.Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year."Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.

  Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer.When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器).His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard."Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs.Nowakowski, his boss.

  Mr.Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day."We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr.Braun.

                                   A

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.
