阅读理解,阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed? Did you know that THomas Edison failed 10, 000 times while trying to invent the light bulb? He certainly had a “learn and do”atfitutle! He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb.So what can we learn from this? You can adopt the “fail forward”strategy too.

  In reality, none of us axe failures.It's true, we will experience times of defeat, problems, and disasters, but remember, each one of us is meant to succeed in life.However, we must choose our fate.Henry David Thoreau said, “Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”

  We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life.Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do.You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have.No matter how difficult things may seem, say to yourself.“I choose to be a happy and successful person.”

  Why do some people get what they want and others fail? I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning, and it doesn't just happen by luck.So how do we plan for success?

  It has been proven that successful people do things more differently.than unsuccessful people.They recognize the patterns of success and follow them;one of those patterns is planning.They plan what they think and do, which sets them apart.They know exactly what they desire, have an intelligent plan for getting it, and then work their plan.They know what success will cost them in terms of time, energy, and results, and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen.

                                   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.
