Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame（身躯）.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”
Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.
She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burnt scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.”
1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school?
A．They were friendly to her.
B．They showed sympathy to her.
C．They were afraid of her.
D．They looked down upon her.
2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to___________.
A．face others’ unkindness bravely
B．hide their scars by proper dressing
C．live a normal life
D．recover quickly
3.What does the underlined word “permanent” in the 4th paragraph mean?
A. necessary B. life-long
C. difficult D. important
4.What can be the best title of the passage?
A. A Seriously Burned Girl Survives
B. Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares
C．Permanent Scars And Pain For a Girl
D. A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Are you fond of tomatoes？ Bunol，a town in Spain，held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August．Thousands and thousands of people made their way from all corners of the world to fight in it，the world’s biggest food fight．Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets．
No one knows exactly how this event started．Maybe it came from a local food fight between friends，or a joke that was played on a bad musician．
On Wednesday，at 11am，the fight began．A cannon(大炮) shot was fired to start the fight．At first，people fought one another，but slowly they began to fight in groups．After exactly one hour，the fight ended when the cannon shot was fired once more．At this point，no more tomatoes could be thrown．
Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective glasses．And they must press the tomatoes before throwing so that they won’t hurt others．Another rule is that no one is allowed to take anything — such as a glass bottle — into the fight．Although it is forbidden to tear(扯破) another person’s clothing，the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person，whether they are men or women．
Fire trucks are used to clean the streets after the fight with water provided from a Roman channel (海峡)．The government seems more concerned with cleaning up the town than the visitors，and people go to the Bunol River for a wash．
1.When the cannon shot is fired the second time，____．
A．people start to throw tomatoes
B．people start to fight in groups
C．the whole tomato fight is over
D．the fight has lasted for two hours
