  Babu, a 12-year-old dog, does not normally like going for walks.But when she insisted on going for one soon after the March 11 earthquake, her owner Tami Akanuma suspected something was wrong.When Babu headed for a nearby hill rather than taking their usual route in the coastal city of Miyako, Akanuma decided to follow along.Minutes after climbing the hill, she saw a disastrous tsunami attacking the town, flattening the district where they lived about 200 meters from the coast.“Babu might have sensed a tsunami was coming, ” said Akanuma, 83.

  Akanuma was relaxing in her living room when the quake struck off Japan's northeast coast.The lights went out and Babu started running around the room, barking loudly and madly wagging her tail.It's a bit early for a walk, Akanuma thought, but she put Babu on her leash(系狗的皮带)anyway.As soon as she opened the door; Babu fiercely ran outside and headed toward a nearby hill-the opposite direction they usually go for a walk.

  When Akanuma's pace slowed down, Babu would look back, as if urging her owner to walk faster.When Akanuma caught up, Babu would ran ahead again, straining at her leash.This game of hurry-up-and –catch-me continued over and over.When Akanuma finally took a rest, she had climbed the hill about one kilometer from her home.Turning around, Akanuma, could barely believe her eyes: Most of the route she and Babu had walked had been swallowed up by tsunami and her home had been consumed by the wail of muddy water.Akanuma believes her dog could tell something was wrong that day.

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.
