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.
