    India first, college can wait!

    　　It was an opportunity 19-year-old Jodi Sagorin felt she couldn't pass up．

    　　The California student had received an admission letter to New York University, but she wanted to follow a calling to volunteer in India．When she got an offer to do just that, she decided there would be no better time to do it．

    　　“It matches everything I'm interested in, ” she said．“It's just one of those things; it was meant to be．”

    　　Last month, Sagorin packed up her belongings and headed over to Uttar Pradesh as an intern(实习生)for Drishtee, an organization that works for the economic and social development for the needy in India．

    　　During her stay in India-for up to seven months-Sagorin will help with programs involving micro-finance, entrepreneurship(创业), healthcare and women's empowerment．

    　　Since her younger days, Sagorin had read inspiring stories of change makers throughout the world and decided she wanted to get involved somehow．

    　　She decided volunteering would be the path she'd take and NYU could wait．She wanted to make a difference even when others said it wouldn't be possible．

    　　When Sagorin broke the news about deciding to put off college, her parents felt pride, nervousness, fear and excitement．

    　　“We’re really proud of her of wanting to do this, ” said Mike Sagorin, her father．“We’re a little concerned about a 19-year-old girl going out there by herself and hope she'll be safe．”

    　　Sagorin and her family researched everything they could about the organization and bought more than a dozen books about the country．

    　　Before her trip to India, Sagorin raised ＄3, 500 to pay for her travel and living expenses, along with some to donate to the people she would work with in India．

    　　She has promised to send various levels of gifts-from a personal postcard to a personalized video touring the Taj Mahal-to those who pledge money towards her trip．(Visit Sagorin's blog at ifyouneverdid．com for more information．)

                                       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.
