阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
On average, American kids aged 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more than they did in 1991. They also did more household work and took part in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet (芭蕾舞). Involvement in sports, in particular, rose by almost 50％ from 1991 to 2003: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children's free time dropped from 40％ of the day in 1991 to 25％.
“Children are affected by the same time crunch(短缺) that affects their parents,”says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children's timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (However, children in both double-income and“male breadwinner”families spent similar amounts of time communicating with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.“Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,”says T. Berry Brazehon, professor at Harvard Medical School. Unstructured play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to develop their relationships with their peers (同龄人), but kids aged 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week being engaged in it.
The children sampled(抽样) spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing“free time”watching televisin. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they're spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren't replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let's face it, who's got the time?
1．By mentioning“the same time crunch”(in Paragraph 2) Sandra Hofferth means _____.
[ ]
A．children have little time to play with parents
B．both parents arid children suffer from lack of free time
C．both parents and children have trouble managing their time
D．children are not taken good care of by their working parents
2．According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is _____.
[ ]
A．totally true
B．quite believable
C．rather difficult to understand
D．not based on facts
3．According to the author a child develops better if _____.
[ ]
A．he has plenty of time reading and studying
B．he is free to communicate with his working parents
C．he is left to play with his peers in his own way
D．he spends more time on school activities
4．The author finds the fact that American kids _____.
[ ]
A．do less and less household work
B．are spending more and more time watching TV
C．are engaged in more and more structured activities
D．get enough attention from their working mothers

A
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.
