On a hot summer day in America a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He dived into the cool water, not realizing that as he swam towards the middle of the lake, a crocodile was swimming toward him.
His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting 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 crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The crocodile 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, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the 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, asked if he would show him his scars(伤疤). The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”
Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they were made.
1.Which of the following is most related to the underlined word “passionate”?
A. Anxious. B. Determined.
C. Frightened. D. Courageous.
2.Who killed the crocodile in the end?
A. A farmer. B. The boy’s mother.
C. The boy. D. The boy’s father.
3.In the story the writer intends to tell us that __________.
A. scars always remind people of their past experiences
B. it’s dangerous to swim alone in the water
C. the boy also feels painful in his mind
D. scars do not necessarily mean pain at all times
4.Which of the following will be the best title for the text?
A. A Terrible Experience
