    阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　I can't remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania, but I'm sure there were colder days．

    　　Even though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, it's easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but then again I often have to push myself to accomplish things．

    　　People I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moods．They say they’re “under the weather, ” not feeling good about this time of year．

    　　As I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were stinging．

    　　Of course, that doesn't matter to Ricky and Lucy．They have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it is．

    　　So I wait．

    　　But this time it was different．As cold as it was, I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really was．

    　　Then the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summer's extremely hot days flashed through my mind．I could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my face．I reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heat．

    　　I was grateful for the extremes．Without the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just right．Without the extremes, life would be boring．

    　　It's being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle more．Health challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we live．Financial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly it's also time to save for raining days．

    　　I’ve come to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that moment．

    　　Whether it's hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always want it to be different．

    　　I'm tired of being “Under the Weather! ”

    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.
