  Ammie was only 18 months old when she had an accident that scarred her for life.While her mother was away for a moment , the curious baby reached up to a hot kettle in the kitchen and poured boiling water all over her body.

  An ambulance was called and rushed the baby to nearby hospital.About 20 percent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third degree.The doctors could tell immediately that Ammie's best chance of survival was specialized burns unit some miles away at Glasgow Royal hospital.

  There , using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body, surgeons performed complex skin grafts(植皮手术)to close her wounds and control her injuries , an operation that took about six hours.Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent(经历)12 more operations to repair her body.

  When she started school at the age of 4 , other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her.“I was the only burned child in the street , the class and the school,” she recalls, “Some children refused to become friends with me because of that.”

  Ammie's parents have been a great support to her.“They told me of people had a problem with my burns, the problem with my burns, the problem was theirs not mine,” says Ammie.“They taught me to cope with other people's reactions and constantly reminded me I was valued and loved.” Ammie's positive attitude to life means she is often contacted by burns charities(慈善机构), helping younger patients build their self-respect to live with permanent scars.

  Now she is a member the Scottish Burned Children's Club.“Ammie provides so much encouragement for the younger ones.She is optimistic and outgoing and a perfect role model for them , ” say Donald Todd, chairman of the club.

  This month , Ammie will join some younger children on a summer camp.“I'll show them how to shrug________off________ unkind stares from others , ” she says.Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops(无袖上衣), and she plans to show the children at the summer camp that they can too.“I don't go to great lengths to hide my scars , ” she says.“I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”

                                   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.
