"Look, it’s Baldy!" A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though I was used to regular insults(侮辱) because of the ____11____ on my hed, it was ____12____ horrible to hear. I sighed as I headed back to the class.
When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious ____13____ after a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. I was ____14____ to hospital and had to say there for weeks while the doctors ____15____ to save my life. "Holly’s very ____16____ to be alive," they told Mum and Dad. "But she’ll be ____17____ with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there."
As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I ____18____ wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home.____19____ I didn’t, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. Although my friends were always comforting me ,they never ____20____ understood how it felt.
Then through the hospital I was ____21____ to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I ____22____ 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so ____23____ that she never lets anyone put her down. "You shouldn’t ____24____ what people say about what you look like because we’re not different from anyone else, Holly," she ____25____ me. "And you don’t need to wear a scarf because y0ou look great ____26____ it!" For the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something ____27____. So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party, ____28____ by her bravery, I gave up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to ____29____ away behind my scarf.
Now, I am ____30____ of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality（个性）that decides who you truly are.
