I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I ____ on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my ugly, sightless, cloudy grey eye lived on ____ me.

    Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (使人难堪的) questions. Whenever the kids played ____, I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.

    Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that ____.

    As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or run into something ____ because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to ____ my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

    In high school I even became the ____, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would ____ to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is ____ instead of your appearance (外貌).”

    My mum's love was the ____ that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be ____ but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.

    “Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I tell ____ to my children. The gift my mum gave me will live on.  286
