Question

The power of attitude (态度)!

"Look, it's Baldy (秃头)!" A boy shouted to me on the playground. Although I was often insulted (侮辱) because of the scars (伤疤) on my head, it was ______ to hear.

When I was just 20 months old. I had an accident—a bowl full of hot oil fell on my head. My parents sent me to hospital at once and I had to ______ there for weeks while the doctors tried their best to save my life. "It is very lucky for your daughter to be alive， "they told Mum and Dad. "But she'll be left with scars on her head, and of course her hair won't grow there."

As a child, I ______ much about my scars, so I always wore a scarf to cover them up when I left home. If I didn't, people would call me terrible names like Baldy. One day, I took part in a children's bums (烫伤) camp. There I made a friend, a 14-year-old girl, Mary. Her burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is so strong that she ______ shows any sadness. "You shouldn't listen  to  what  people  talk  about  what  you  look  like  because  we're not ______ from anyone else." She told me sincerely (真诚地). "You don't need to wear a scarf because you look great too without it." So later, at my 13th birthday party, I took off my ______ and showed off my scars.  It felt amazing not having to ______ away behind my scarf.

Now I am ______ of what I look like and much happier because I know it is your attitude that tells who you truly are.
