    阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出最佳选项。

    　　Many rural areas in the United States have no doctor．Some medical schools are trying different ways to treat the problem．One idea is to educate doctors in smaller communities and hope they stay．Dr．William Cathcart-Rake heads a new program at the University of Kansas in the Midwest．

    　　“We need more doctors．There's somewhere like a quarter of all of our physicians in Kansas who are sixty years of age or older．So we need to be replacing physicians, too．”Says Dr．William Cathcart．He also says medical students from rural areas now typically study in Wichita or Kansas City, two of the biggest cities in Kansas．They say, “You know, I really have every intention of coming back to rural Kansas,”but they meet a soul mate, they get married, their soul mate happens to be from a big city and we never see them again．They get captured in the big city．Hopefully, if we train them in smaller communities, they can meet the future spouses here , they can network here, and they have those connections which can hopefully be lifelong．

    　　The program is based in Kansas' tenth largest city , Salina, home to about fifty thousand people．Salina is about a three-hour drive from Kansas City, past fields of corn, soybeans and cattle．

    　　Student Claire Hinrichsen grew up in a town of about six hundred people．She attended the University of Kansas, or KU, as an undergraduate．One reason why the chose the Salina program is because of the size．There are only eight students－the smallest medical school in the country．Classes are taught by professors in Salina or on a video link from Kansas City or Wichita．

    　　Students who complete the four year program will then do their residency training in a small community in the surrounding area．One place a resident might work is the Clay Center Clinic, where Dr．Kerry Murphy is a family physician．

    　　Rural doctors generally serve older, poorer patients．Going into a specialty in a big city can mean better working hours and more money to pay off student loans．

    　　The Salina program will pay tuition for each year that students practice in a rural area in Kansas．

                                       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.
