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.

 __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.
