I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I     on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my ugly, sightless, cloudy grey eye lived on        me.

Sometimes people asked me embarrassing （使人难堪的） questions. Whenever the kids played       , I was the "monster". I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.

Yet mum would say to me, "Hold your head up high and face the world." I began to depend on that      .

As a child, I thought mum meant, "Be careful, or you will fall down or run into something    because you are not looking." As a teenager, I usually looked down to      my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.

In high school I even became the       , but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would      to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is       instead of your appearance （外貌）.”

My mum's love was the       that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be       but also to have deep compassion （同情） for others.

“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I tell     to my children. The gift my mum gave me will live on.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是作者因为小时候的一次意外使自己的眼睛受到了伤害，而且外貌变得丑陋。作者一度心情非常低落，对自己的生活失去了信心。但是在妈妈的鼓励下，作者开始变得自信起来，也知道了如何去同情他人。

1. 原形stand, 站；land 着陆；found 原形是find，发现，找到；work工作。这里是说小时候作者摔了一跤，跌到了玻璃上，故这里应该用land表示落到地上的意思。故选B。

2. 为了，因为；like 做介词时是像的意思；by 通过……方式，乘坐；with和，伴随着。根据句意这里是说自从摔了一跤之后，作者的眼睛就变得非常的丑陋了。故选D。

3. 游戏；jokes 玩笑，笑话；toys 玩具；sports运动。这里是说作者和小朋友们一起玩游戏的时候，因为作者丑陋的眼睛，他总是来扮演怪物的角色。故选A。

4. 玻璃；topic 主题；reply 回复；saying话，谚语。这里是作者对妈妈说的话产生了依赖，故应该选D。

5. 立刻，马上；accidentally 意外的；continuously 持续的；expectedly 预期的，果然。根据文意小时候，妈妈总是会嘱咐孩子小心，别意外的摔倒，撞到东西上。故选B。

6. 展示；meet 遇见；behave 行为举止；hide隐藏。根据文意可知选D。

7. 班长；teacher 老师；teenager 青少年；adult成年人。这里是作者在念中学的时候，所以不可能是老师或成年人。根据常理，在念中学时，作者应该就是十几岁的青少年，故C也不对。故选A。

8. 写；add 增加；cry 哭；face面对。根据文意，当情况变得糟糕的时候，作者的心情肯定不好，会更加的自卑，故会对妈妈哭泣，故选C。

9. 是内心，内里的意思，是相对于后面的appearance外貌而言的，虽然作者的外貌丑陋，但是内心是美的。beside 在……旁边；outside 外边，外部；inside 里面，内部；alongside在……侧面。故选C。

10. me bright，可知这里应该是sunshine，阳光。suggestion 建议；experience 经验，经历；sunshine 阳光；introduction 介绍。故选C。

11. 自信；unusual 不寻常的；similar 相似的；ordinary 普通的。这里是作者在妈妈的鼓励下逐渐学会了自信，不再自卑。故选A。
