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。

　　The whole world has turned its eyes towards a wild animal－the masked palm civet(猓子狸).

　　This animal is thought to be a carrier of SARS, the deadly disease that has infected(感染) over 8,200 people and killed more than 750 around the world since last November.

　　On May 23, researchers in Hong Kong and Shenzhen reported that they had found a coronavirus(冠状病毒) “very similar” to the SARS virus in the faeces(粪便) of civets. Now they think SARS might have jumped to humans from this animal, which has short fur and black and white stripes(条纹) on its face.

　　Civets are the main part of a popular wildlife dish, “dragon－tiger－phoenix soup”, in southern China. The civet plays the role of the tiger while snake and pheasant(野鸡) make up the other two items. It is thought that the dish can improve people's vitality(精神；活力) levels. And it can sell for up to 1000 yuan. But the meal might not be as healthy as it seemed. Yuen Kwok－Yung, a Hong Kong scientist, said SARS may have jumped into humans when they raised, killed and cooked the civets. However, if the food was properly cooked, he said, the virus should have been killed.

　　Although large amounts of the virus were found in the animal's faces, it appeared to be unaffected. Researchers say the virus may have jumped from the animal to humans or, perhaps, from humans to the civet in the crowded street markets.

　　But now the connection has been made, people have started abandoning(抛弃) their pet cats in the street because they look similar to civets. “They were probably abandoned because of all the media articles linking cats to the SARS virus,” said a Hong Kong official from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

　　A WHO official later warned that it was too early to make the firm conclusion that the civet was the definite(明确的) carrier of SARS.

　　But the Chinese mainland(大陆) has begun to ban(禁止) the sale and consumption(消费) of the animal and Hong Kong has banned the import(进口) civet meat.

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.
