閱讀理解,閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

  When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read “Goodnight Moon” to a class of San Diego preschoolers.And it wasn't reading-h(huán)e'd memorized the book and was reciting it out loud.He was 4.Still, he said it felt good up there, in front of the other kids, lending a hand.He wanted more of that feeling.

  Thirteen years later, he's getting a lot of it.He's on a five-month road trip across America-not sightseeing, but volunteering.

  The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women's shelter in St.Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson.This week he's in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.

  “I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference, ” he said.He resists the idea that his “Do Good Adventure” is all that unusual.It bothers him that the media often describe young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic.So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement, too.“About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate for adults, ” he said, according to a 2002 study.“Not everybody knows that.”

  Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications.Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions.But charity work is a habit with him.Even before the cross?country trip, he was volunteering about 200 hours a year at various places.He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D.C.He's taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

  He gets some of that drive from his mother, Leslye Lyons, who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life.She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers-a memory of hers “that will never go away.”

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(短吻鱷) 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 (拔河比賽) 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 (留下傷疤) 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 (外傷), 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 (認同) 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.
