  September can be a depressing month.The summer holidays are over, it's time to go back to work or school and Christmas is four months away.However, for some people it's the perfect time to get away.

  These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons.Holidays in autumn can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isn't as extreme as it is in the summer.So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.

  Sardinia(in Italy)has an average temperature of 27℃ in September.It also has “Autunno in Barbagia”(Autumn in Barbagia)a series of festivals that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous region of inland Sardinia.The festivals continue from September to December, so there's always something happening.There are street markets, craft workshops and there's lots of eating and drinking(This is Italy, after all).

  Dubrovnik Croatia has become very popular in summer but it's quieter and more pleasant once the crowds have left.The weather is still warm but less humid.You can take a ferry to the popular beaches on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.

  Dahab Egypt, is extremely hot in the summer with temperatures up to 38℃.However, the autumn is cooler while the sea is still warm.This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing.There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations, and St Catherine's Monastery, at the foot of Mount Sinai.

  Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey.There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped(so you can actually enjoy doing them!)Kas is a good place to stay if you want to walk part of the Lycian way:a long-distance footpath that stretches for 500km from Fethiye to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia.There are also watersports, of course.The best time to go diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn(usually between late September and early October)when the fish become most active.

  Marrakech Morocco is another good destination.The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few days.When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away.There's a hammam(a Turkish bath)and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.

  Wherever you go this autumn-have fun!

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.
