　　One of the sailors who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World was a man named Juan Ponce de Leon．This voyage changed his life．

　　He decided to stay when Columbus returned．Ponce was named governor of Puerto Rico (then called Boriquien) in 1508．

　　While there, he heard many stories of a magical water source．People called it the Fountain of Youth and said that drinking its water kept you young．

　　For the next few years, Ponce tried to find out where the Fountain of Youth was．He asked permission from Spain's King Charles V to go in search of it．The king consented, as long as Ponce paid for the ships and crew himself．

　　The young explorer did so readily, and they set off．It was March 1513．They sailed for days but didn't see the fountain．On March 27, he came within sight of the Florida coast．On April 2, he landed at what he named St．Augustine．This was the first Spanish settlement on the mainland of North America．

　　He had several adventures along the way．He did not, however, find the Fountain of Youth．He returned to Boriquien．

　　He continued to govern tile island, and he continued to hear stories of the Fountain of Youth．Finally, in 1521, he set out again．

　　This time, he landed on the Florida coast again．While he and his men were building houses for a new settlement, they were attacked by native tribesmen(部落成員)．Many of his men died, but Ponce escaped, although he was injured．He reached Cuba and entered a hospital, where he died of wounds from the attack in Florida．Juan Ponce de Leon never found the Fountain of Youth．Neither did anyone else, at least as far as we know．

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.
