It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call.

    “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  41  in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n)  42   and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was  43 

    The doctor described the  44  ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they   45   the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  46  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.

       47  ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and  48  him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in  49   to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

    After he  50  from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  51  it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

    When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very  52__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not  53  it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’

    I  54   this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to  55  and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.

    By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not  56  , so he made the  57  to give up any plastic surgery.

    We all have “scars” that we believe  58  people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. 

     But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same  59  standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  60  yourself,and your beauty will shine through.

You probably know what fast food is. It is cooked food that is ready almost as soon as you enter a public eating place. It does not cost much.
Most fast food restaurants are chain (连锁) restaurants. That means each one is part of a huge company. Each restaurant in the chain has the same large, colorful sign that can be easy to recognize from far away. Each offers its own carefully limited choice of foods. Each kind of hamburger or piece of chicken tastes the same at every restaurant in the chain.
The fast food industry began with two brothers in the nineteen forties. Mac and Dick McDonald owned a small, but very successful restaurant. They sold only a few kinds of simple food, especially hamburgers. People stood outside the restaurant at a window. They told the workers inside what they wanted to eat. They received and paid for their food very quickly. The food came in containers that could be thrown away. The system was so successful that the McDonald brothers discovered they could sell a lot of food and lower their prices.
Ray Kroc sold restaurant supplies. He recognized the importance of the McDonald brothers' idea. Kroc paid the McDonald brothers for permission to open several restaurants similar to theirs. He opened the first McDonald's restaurant near Chicago in nineteen fifty-five. Soon, more McDonald's were opening all across the United States. Other people copied the idea and more fast food restaurants followed.
Fast food restaurants spread quickly in the United States because of franchising. Franchising means selling the legal right to operate a store in a company's chain to an independent business person. If the company approves, the business person may buy the store for a period of years. Each restaurant also gives the company about ten percent of the money it earns in sales. Today, over seventy percent of McDonald's restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent businessmen and women.

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from.

Sometimes, however, no one may know really where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham( 火腿 )? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburger. They didn’t speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered. “We came from Hamburger.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like what the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Today “ hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.

Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason may be found in any large English dictionary.
