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.

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. 小题1: A．hat B．scarf C．scars D．cuts 小题2: A．still B．just C．never D．seldom 小题3: A．hunger B．cold C．defeats D．burns 小题4: A．rushed B．led C．invited D．forced 小题5: A．learned B．fought C．returned D．decided 小题6: A．happy B．lucky C．lonely D．poor 小题7: A．pressed B．occupied C．left D．painted 小题8: A．possibly B．usually C．finally D．nearly 小题9: A．Although B．Since C．If D．Before 小题10: A．correctly B．roughly C．easily D．really 小题11: A．promoted B．introduced C．reported D．carried 小题12: A．met B．recognized C．remembered D．caught 小题13: A．honest B．strong C．active D．young 小题14: A．write down B．agree with C．pass on D．listen to 小题15: A．promised B．encouraged C．ordered D．calmed 小题16: A．in B．for C．without D．beyond 小题17: A．similar B．strange C．hard D．important 小题18: A．allowed B．required C．guided D．inspired 小题19: A．hide B．give C．keep D．put 小题20: A．sick B．aware C．tired D．proud
