  Joanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30 and at 6:30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club.At last, the traffic was moving.She swung quickly racing to her house.As she opened the door, she nearly tripped over Sheba.

  “Hey, Sheba, ” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking.Obviously, she could hardly breathe.Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet.

  When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day.Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr.Sterne brought her quickly into his office.

  “Listen, doctor, I'm really in a rush to get to a meeting, can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me.Is that OK? ”

  “Sure.” said the doctor.

  Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes.As she was once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring.

  “This is Dr.Sterne, ” said an anxious voice.“I want you to get out of that house immediately, ”said the doctor's voice.“I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now.Wait outside! ”

  At that moment, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house.Two policemen got out and ran into the house.Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened.Then the doctor arrived.

  “Where's Sheba? Is she OK? ” shouted Joanne.

  “She's fine, Joanne.I took out the thing which was choking her, and she's OK now.”

  Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk.There was blood all over him.

  “My God, ” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there? ”

  “I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor.“I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba's throat:it turned out to be three human fingers.”

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.
