My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36 from a series of treatments，the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking. So，he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face.

I said to my son，“Keaton， 39 will pay any more attention to your scar 40 you do. If it does not bother you，it will not bother 41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42 high — glad he was alive.

43 ，everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better， 44 you looked different，or dressed differently，or could have a different and newer 45 .

But you see，like Keaton’s scar，people will only judge you by your looks，or your 46 ，or your car，if you are judging yourself by these same false 47 .

One of my friends in college was very 48 .At first，when people met him，they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds. This man felt 50 about himself and spent most of his time 51 about other people’s comfort and welfare. 52 ，people ignored his looks. What people 53 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.

Therefore，concentrate on what you value 54 yourself，because if you can see that beautiful person，everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C,D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

To Whom It May Concern:

Your address was forwarded to us by How to Magazine. All of us here think The International Institute of Not Doing Much is the best organization in the world. You know how to avoid unnecessary activities!

As a matter of fact, we closely followed the advice in your article. First, we replaced all our telephones with carrier pigeons. Simply removing the jingle of telephones and replacing them with the pleasant sounds of birds has had a remarkable effect on everyone. Besides, birds are cheaper than telephone service. After all, we are a business. We have to think of the bottom line. As a side benefit, the birds also fertilize the lawn outside the new employees’ sauna(桑拿房).

Next, we sold the computers off to Stab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty, a firm of lawyers nearby. Our electricity bill went way down. Big savings! The boss is impressed. We have completely embraced paper technology. Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the increase, and the quality of pencil woman ship is impressive, as you can tell from my handwriting in this letter. By the way, if you can, please send this letter back to us. We can erase and reuse it. Just tie it to Maggie’s leg and she’ll know where to take it.

Now it’s very calm and quiet here. You can notice the difference. No more noise on the telephones! All we hear is the scratching of pencil on paper, the sound of pigeons, and the delivery of inter-office correspondence by paper airplane.

Wonderful! I’ve always wanted to work for an insurance company ever since I was a little girl. Now it’s perfect.

Sincerely yours,

Eleanor Lightly

Spokeswoman and Company Hair Stylist
