阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  On October 23, 2011, David Pologruto, a high school physics teacher, was stabbed (刺) by his smart student Jason Haffizulla.Jason got straight A's and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall.His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine (损害) his entrance to Harvard.After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher.

  How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence.

  During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy.I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other subjects.I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future.After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students.The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass courses.The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies.Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students?

  Not so.Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought.Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions.

  Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent.You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter.It's not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it's that people dislike you because you're rude and not understanding.The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others' emotions.

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.
