阅读理解,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 once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.

  “You could win prizes, ” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard.She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars.You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”

  We studied the board critically.Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs.Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought.We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us.I'm going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.

  Everyone in the class made a poster.Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper.Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it.Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners.

  I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty.I made it.I admired it.I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen,and then I turned it in.

  Minutes passed.

  No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.

  I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

                                   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.
