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。

  Here are six questions about your approach to life.Try to answer them as honestly as you can.

  Are you hard driving and competitive?

  Are you usually pressed for time?

  Do you want to control others?

  Do you have a strong need to do better than others in most things?

  Do you eat too quickly?

  Do you get upset when you have to wait for anything?

  If you have answered “yes” to most of these questions, then I can make a few predictions about you, based on a recent eight-year study of nearly two thousand people who live the way that you do.

  You likely find that life is full of challenges and you often need to keep two or more projects moving at the same time.The chances are that you have been to college, that you have a management job and that you bring work home at night.You think that you put more effort into your job than many of the people you work with, and you certainly take your work more seriously than most of them.You get angry easily, and if someone is being long-winded, you help them get to the point.You also have trouble finding the time to get your hair cut.

  And there's one other thing.You are about twice as likely to have a heart attack as someone who takes a more easygoing approach to life.

  The beginnings of your hard-driving behavior go right back to childhood.In school you got recognition and perhaps prizes for being quick and bright, for being an achiever, for competing with others and for winning.You likely went on from school to get a series of increasingly better jobs against pretty stiff competition.They were jobs where you had to care about the results, where you constantly had to push things forward and get things done.In your present job you also feel some conflict, either with time or with other people.Some of those you work with don't seem able to understand the simplest ideas, and they often put a brake on what you’re trying to achieve.The conflict may not take place every day.You pride yourself on being able to keep the lid on.But it's always there, under the surface

                                   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.
