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。

  We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff.Your whole body feels tight.The slightest move makes you jump with pain.Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling.We have all met such people.

  One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands-often at the wrong time-during a performance in the theater.He keeps you from hearing the actors.

  Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins.They come hurrying down to your row of seats.You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap.You must stand up to let them pass.You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats… Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again.He forgot to go to the men's room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass.Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.

  Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies.His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him.None of them remain still.Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.

  Then, there is the man sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar.He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.

  We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as closes you will let him.You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you.He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.

  We also call such a person a “rubber-neck”, always stretching his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors.They enjoy invading your privacy.People have a strong dislike for rubber-necks.They hate being spied upon.

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.
