閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中選出最佳選項。
They start handing out the free food at 9:00 a.m., but the queue starts forming hours earlier. By dawn, there is a line of cars stretching for about one kilometer. This is the closest thing to a traffic jam that the small city of Logan, Ohio, and many other places in the United States have a traffic jam driven by poverty (貧窮) and hunger.
Outside, the US is regarded as the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the world, but back home it is being eaten away from the inside by persistent (持續的) and rising poverty.
About 3 million Americans have lost their jobs since George W. Bush took office in January 2001 and have yet to find new work in a largely jobless economic recovery. There is not much left to keep them from falling further.
Last year alone, another 1.7 million Americans slipped below the poverty line.
That brought the total to 34.6 million, or one in eight of the population. More than 13 million of them are children.
In fact, the US has the worst child poverty rate and the worst life expectancy of all the world's industrialized countries. And the conditions of its poverty are worsening.
Two years ago, about 31 million Americans were considered“food insecure”(they did not know where their next meal was coming from). Of those, more than 9 million were said by the Agriculture Department to be experiencing real hunger.
And that was before the recession (經濟的衰退期) really began to hit.
Partial surveys suggest the problem has got considerably worse since then. In 25 major cities, the need for emergency food rose to an average of 19 percent last year.
1．From the first paragraph we can know that _____.
[ ]
A．everyone in America need get free food
B．free food is offered to drivers everywhere in America
C．hunger is a big problem in America
D．people have to use cars even to get enough food
2．More American people are becoming poor because _____.
[ ]
A．they don't love their President
B．they don't like their jobs
C．they can't get enough jobs to do
D．they spend too much on their cars
3．The author's feeling towards the situation of poverty in the USA is _____.
[ ]
A．angry B．puzzled
C．worried D．nervous

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.
