  Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl.She had one big ambition-to play the drums in a band.But one big obstacle lay in her way.To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people.Many of them are sick.She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves.So, she had tried playing in the strangest places:a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower.But there was always someone it would annoy.

  One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air.At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut.

  With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble.This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside.All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套设备)and a chair.Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child.

  It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous.Many people came to see her play in her space bubble.Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts.Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey.Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band.

  Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said:''If those old people next-door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.''

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.
