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。

　　Sometime today－perhaps several times－Dick Winter will think about the 19-year-old who saved his life.

　　Because of this young man, Winter enjoys things like friendships, colours and laughter every day.

　　The young man saved Winter’s life by signing an organ donor card(器官捐獻卡).

　　“I can’t say thank you enough,”Winter said yesterday at a news conference (meeting) marking the tenth anniversary of the Multi Organ Transplant program at Toronto General Hospital.

　　What Winter knows of the 19-year-old who saved his life is only that he died in a car accident and that his family was willing to honour his wishes and donate his organs for transplantation(移植).

　　His liver(肝臟)went to Winter, who was dying from liver trouble.“I know what a painful thing it must have been for them,”Winter said yesterday.

　　“They are very, very special people.”

　　Winter, 63, is fitter now than he was 10 years ago, when he got the transplant. He has five medals from the 1995 World Transplant Games in swimming and hopes to collect some more next year in Japan.

　　“At one time, we were probably strange people in the eyes of other people. Now it’s expected you should be able to go back and do everything you did before, only better.”

　　The biggest change for Winter, however, isn’t that he has become a competitive athlete. The biggest change is how deeply he appreciates every little thing about his life now.

　　“I have no time for arguments,”said Winter.

　　“You change everything. Material things don’t mean as much. Friendships mean a lot.”

　　Also at yesterday’s news conference was Dr. Gray Levy, Winter’s doctor.

　　Levy said he has bitter-sweet feelings when he looks at Winter and hears of his athletic actions.

　　Levy knows that for every recipient(接受者) like Winter, there are several others who die even though they could be saved because there aren’t enough donated organs.

　　“Unfortunately, we have five to ten people that will never be given the chance that Mr. Winter was given,”Levy said.

　　Levy said greater public attention and more resources are needed. He said that in Spain and the United States, hospitals receive $10,000 per donor to cover the costs of the operating room, doctors, nurses and teams to work with the donors’ families.

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.
