  Most people agree that there will be changes in the future. However, many people don't agree on what the changes will be, especially when we look further and further ahead.

  Changes that may come soon the easier to be predicated (预报). That is because they may have already started. Also, there has not been enough time for great unknowns to start up and affect the changes.

  One change that most people agree on is that the world will have more people. In part this is because of better health care. Older people will live longer, and fewer babies will die.

  Another change that many people agree on is that oil and its products will cost more. Oil is a natural resource (资源). We are beginning to use it up. As we use up more oil, there will be less left in the world. That will make the remaining oil worth more money. So the remaining oil will cost its users more.

  America has built a spaceship. This spaceship will soon travel almost weekly between the earth and space just above Earth's atmosphere. America's spaceship will change the way we view space travel. In the past, only a few highly-trained people went into space. Soon the spaceship will take many kinds of people and things. Room on the spaceship has even been bought for the science students in the Clear Creek School District near Houston, Texas. College students are going too. Businesses are also planning to send workers and machines into space.

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.
