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 (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38  on his face.

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain.Without enough blood,the brain lives for only three to five minutes.More often the doctors can’t fix the damage.Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain.The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White,a famous professor and doctor,thinks he knows a way to help.He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold.If it is very cold,the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes.This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

My son has poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹)and he suffered from it a lot. When he was young, my wife and I took him to see so many doctors and got different kinds of treatments. But still, he couldn’t walk like a normal kid.

So he was laughed at by his peers for his walking style. His tears burnt our eyes like sulphuric acid (硫酸 ). Then, he became afraid of going to school. He wouldn’t go anymore.

One night, my wife had a breakdown and shouted at him, “I tell you, my kid, you might be like this forever. You are a freak in other people’s eyes, and perhaps it would never change. But in my eyes, in your dad’s eyes, you are not a freak! You are not! Even if you are, we love you and we will love you forever!” My son spoke nothing for two days. He didn’t eat or sleep. We could read he was hurt. We hoped something wonderful would fall in our family. On the third morning, he struggled to walk to my car, with his school bag in his hand of course. He raised his head high and hugged me, saying “want to go to school. Nothing will beat me.”

You know, from then on, he was never afraid of being mocked or despised anymore. If he couldn’t avoid these looks, he chose to look at them in the eyes. Later, something nice really happened and my son went to MIT. When he was asked how he managed to bear the pressure, he said, “Because of my parents.”

My dear fellows, if you care too much about how other people look at you or what their opinions are, you will never become what you want to be.
