Passage 63

(江西省抚州 一中2010届高三上学期第四次同步测试)

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

The doctor described the 　39　 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they　 40　 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 　41　 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.

　 42　 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and　 43　 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 　44　 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

After he　 45　 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not so plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months　 46　 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.

I 　49　 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to 　50　 and returned to school with is head held high-glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 　51　 , so he made the 　52　 to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe　 53　 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, and you are judging yourself by these same　 54　 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value　 55　 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
