Question

 (湖北省钟祥六中2009年高三高考冲刺最后一卷)

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he  31  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months  32  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch  33  on his face.

I said to my son, “Keaton,  34  will pay any more attention to your scar  35  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother  36 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  37  high — glad he was alive.

  38 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,  39  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer  40 .

But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your  41 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false  42 .

One of my friends in college was very  43 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his  44   for about 10 seconds. This man felt  45  about himself and spent most of his time  46  about other people’s comfort and welfare.  47 , people ignored his looks. What people  48  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.

Therefore, concentrate on what you value  49  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same  50 .
