阅读下列短文，完成文后题目。

　　Medical experts have suspected for many years that there is a strong link between what a person eats and cancer. A team of Chinese and American scientists did the study. About thirty thousand people from

　　the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study. They were from the Northern Central Chinese Area of Linxian. Most of them took vitamines and minerals every day for five years.

　　Linxian was chosen because the people there have an extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus(食道). Researchers believe that fungus and molds (真菌和霉菌) in local foods nay be partly responsible for the high cancer rate. Researchers divided those into eight groups. Seven of the groups received different mixtures of vitamines and minerals daily. The amounts of the vitamines and minerals were 1 to 2 times than what American health officials say is needed. The eighth group received sugar pills that had no effect. Those who seemed to gain the most received a mixture of a form of vitamine A called β－carotene (β－胡萝卜素), vitamine E and the mineral selenium. The vitamine and mineral are believed to prevent damage to cells (细胞) caused by cancer-causing substances (物质). Researchers reported a 13 percent drop in cancer rates in those who tookβ－carotene, vitamine E and selenium (硒). They also found a 10 percent drop in the number of deaths caused by strokes (中风) from bursting blood vessels(血管).

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.
