解析试题分析：作者的儿子在一次意外事故中被严重烧伤，在作者的劝说下，他昂首挺胸地返回了学校，并主动放弃了整容手术。诚然，外表只是虚假的东西，真正重要的是人的内心。
【小题1】A 对方给作者打电话，说作者的儿子被“送进”了急诊室。turn in表示“归还”，不符合语境。
【小题2】C 根据本句后半部分的“fly him to the burn unit in Seattle”可知对方已经联系好了“飞机”，打算 把作者的儿子送往西雅图治疗。
【小题3】A 结合上文提到的内容可知作者立刻意识到了事态的“严重性”。
【小题4】D 根据下文内容可知作者的儿子被烧伤是“意外事故”。A项常用来表示重大事件。
【小题5】B 根据本句后半部分的内容可知是“点燃”木炭时。
【小题6】C 浇有过多汽油的木炭喷出的火苗烧着了作者儿子的衬衣，此处catch可理解为“着（火）烧 着”。
【小题7】A 当时，作者的儿子身上火势熊熊，“幸运的是”，其中一个孩子反应敏捷，及时采取行动， 从而挽救了作者儿子的生命。
【小题8】D 那个孩子的目的是想扑灭作者儿子身上的大火，由此可推断他是让作者的儿子在草地上“滚 动”。
【小题9】D 那个孩子虽然救了作者儿子一命，却没能“及时”挽回大火对作者的儿子造成的肉体伤害 的局面。
【小题10】B 上文提到作者的儿子被送往西雅图救治，所以此处是作者的儿子经过治疗后“康复”。
【小题11】C 根据本句后半部分的内容可知这里说的是六个月之内不能进行整容的原因。
【小题12】C 根据常识可知如果胳博上有一条10英寸长的伤疤，一定非常“明显”。
【小题13】B 如果自己不把伤疤放在心上，其他人也会这么做，但这并不意味着他们没有“注意到”伤 疤的存在。
【小题14】D pass on表示“传递”，即作者把这种智慧传给自己的儿子。
【小题15】A 作者的儿子将作者的建议牢牢地记在“心”中，昂首挺胸地返回了学校。
【小题16】B 经过六个月的漫长等待，作者的儿子认为自己的伤疤无关紧要，决定放弃整容手术。matter表示“要紧，有关系”。
【小题17】C 上文提到医生告诉作者的儿子六个月后才可以实施整容手术，而此时的他发生了思想转变， 作出“决定”——不再进行任何整容手术。
【小题18】B 此处是cause sb. to do sth.结构，表示“导致某人做某事”。定语从句中的we believe可看做 是插入语。
【小题19】A 在作者看来，外表和衣着只是“虚假的”评判标准。后三项分别表示“严格的”“道德的” “一般的，大体的”，都不符合语境。
【小题20】D 本句的前半部分提到要把外表和衣着等外在表现抛在脑后，由此可知作者强调的是内在美。
