    　　(Reuters Life!)-Families in New York and Louisville, Kentucky might be happy to know they live in two of the safest U．S．cities for children．

    　　Both urban areas scored high marks in a study that assessed 50 of the largest U．S．cities on 25 safety criteria such as proximity(接近)of hospitals, bike helmet laws and how quickly local fire departments respond to determine the safest cities for children．

    　　“It's clear that most cities are doing great things to improve safety at home and in the community, ” said Gus Schaefer of Underwriters Laboratories(UL), an independent safety certification provider that conducted the research．

    　　New York firefighters were the quickest to respond to emergencies, while Louisville pedestrians(行人)were among the least likely to be in a traffic accident, according to the study．

    　　Boston parents can breathe easy knowing they live in the city with the most hospitals per capita(人均)and Portland, Oregon got honors for its low drowning rates and air quality．

    　　Virginia Beach scored high marks because car passengers under the age of 18 have to wear seatbelts, even if they are riding in the back seat．

    　　Columbus, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa were also among the safest cities．

    　　Although the study did not rank the cities, it showed that the vast majority have anti-smoking laws and all have smoke alarm laws．

    　　One area where there might still be room for improvement is bike helmet laws．Only 39 of the largest urban areas have bike helmet laws．

    　　But 47 out of 50 cities had some non-smoking laws and an equal number required CO alarms．And all the cities insisted on inspections after construction or remodeling projects．

    　　In addition to local and state laws to keep their children safe, UL said families can also take measures to improve the safety of their children, including making sure television stands are well fixed and having a fire escape plan．

    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.
