阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项中，选出最佳答案。
Ms. Hunter, who has loved music all her life, began her career (生涯)when she was only seven years old. She ran away from her home in Memphis, Tennessee because she'd heard that singers in Chicago were making ten dollars a week. Even though she was young and tiny, she was able to get a job, and people began to recognize her great talent. She travelled all over the world and became famous not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter.
During all those years, Ms. Hunter was very close to her mother, whom she brought from Memphis to live and travel with her. But when her mother died in1954, there was a sudden and total change in Ms. Hunter's life. A few days after mother's death, Ms. Hunter entered school and became a nurse. She gave up singing-forever, she thought.
For more than twenty-three years, she worked happily as a nurse at a New York hospital, where no one had any idea of her unusual past. Nor did they have much idea of her age. When they finally insisted she retire (退休), they believed she had reached age seventy. “I was eighty-two.” Ms. Hunter said with a smile.
She became terribly bored (烦恼) and told some of her old friends about it. One of them suggested that she should go back to singing. She did, and she has been busy ever since.

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.
