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。

  You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will bum out, or feel upset.When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for way to fill the void in your life.

  The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by you values.I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values.Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be.I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment(承诺)to live by.An example of some being values are:kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful.By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model.Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

  Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security.This is what you receive.You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

  When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices.If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person.A calm person might go for a walk, meditate(沉思), or set a time limit before responding.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person.In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be? this is the key to personal power.

  When you.choose to.act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加强)your chosen beliefs.Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

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.
