    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。

    　　Millions of Americans have been heading to the shops on Black Friday, a crucial event for US retailers．Many stores open their doors overnight, hoping to entice customers with cut-price bargains．Black Friday-the day after the Thanksgiving public holiday-is traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season．

    　　Consumers are spending in an uncertain environment as fears about the health of the US economy persist．Thousands of people queued late on Thursday evening in the hope of being the first to find a bargain, with many shops offering deep discounts on clothing, electronic goods and toys．

    　　“Several chains opened even earlier than the typical midnight start．Children's retailer Toys R Us threw open its doors at 22∶00 on Thursday for the first time．Others stayed open after trading on Thanksgiving itself．Judging from the excitement at Toys R Us at 10 pm(on Thursday)and throughout the evening, the shopper is back, ” Toys R Us chief executive Jerry Storch told Reuters．Department store Macy's said it had 7, 000 shoppers outside its flagship Herald Square store in Manhattan in the early hours of Friday morning, some 2, 000 more than last year．

    　　Despite continued concerns over the US economy and a stubbornly high unemployment rate of 9.6％, analysts are predicting a better holiday season than last year．The National Retail Federation says it expects sales to be 2.3％ higher than 2009, to totalling ＄447m(285m)．That could bode well for the US economy, with consumer spending making up about 70％ of total economic output．“This is shaping up to be one of the biggest Black Fridays we’ve seen, ” said David Bassuk, managing director at consulting firm Alix Partners．

    　　Black Friday is so named because it is the day of the year when retailers traditionally hope to leave the “red” and enter the “ black ”, breaking even or making a profit．

    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.
