Edgar felt quite excited at the thought of his first swim of the summer. With the sun shining down so strongly, the sea was certain to be warm enough. He walked quickly along the seafront towards the steps that led on to the sands. He smiled cheerfully at the passers. He had just smiled and raised his hat to an elderly lady when a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him Edgar heard a little buzzing noise from the camera.
“Your photograph, sir, in glorious colour in just one moment if you please.”Said the man in one breath.
Then the buzzing stopped, and he held the photograph in his hand and was waving it to and fro. In a moment he handed it over, and Edgar saw the bright blue splash(色斑) of his shirt half filling the picture.
“Seventy pence, sir.”The man said,“It's the bargain of your holiday.”
“Seventy pence.”Edgar repeated, mildly,“For this”He stared at the photograph.
“They're normally eightyfive, sir ,but for a single subject I make a cutprice offer. It's the best value you'll get in Chadwell.”“You'll have to make a better offer.”Edgar said. It was a good photo though, he thought, so bright and clear. His hat was held high, and he was smiling broadly to the old lady, whose arm and handbag came into a lower comer. He had had no idea that he was being snapped (快照). He thought he was really quite a gooklooking chap(小伙子).
“That's as good as any studio job that would cost you pounds.”Said the cameraman,“It's better in a way because it's so natural. Only seventy pence, sir.”
“I've never paid so much for a snap in my life. It simply isn't worth that kind of money. It's not as if I need the thing. Look, I'll give you twentyfive.
“No, I can't do that. Each of these instant colour shots costs me 50pthat's the price of the blank frame(結(jié)構(gòu)), so you see…”
“Criminal, criminal.”Edgar broken in,“You want a profit(利潤(rùn)) of forty per cent. Well, not at my expense, I'm afraid I'll give you your 50p and that's that.”
“Let me see, then.”The man suddenly took the photograph out of Edgar's hand.“I can't waste any more time with you. It's 70p or I keep it.”
“Keep it.”Edgar said. He turned, looked out to sea, then walked quickly away.

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(rèn)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.
