Her mother Ruby called an ambulance which rushed her to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Amie" s body had been burned and all of her bums were third-degree. There, using tissue taken from unburned
areas of Amie" s body, doctors performed complex skin grafts (移植) to close her wounds and control
her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Amie had 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at age 4 , other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn"t play with
her." I was the only burned child in the street," she recalled, " some children refused to become friends
because of that."
Today, age 17, Amie 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 grafts. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager
who offers inspiration and hope to other young bums victims. She is a member of the Scottish Burned
Children"s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Amie will be joining the younger children at the
Graff ham Water Center for the charity" s first summer camp. "I"ll show them how to treat others" unkind
stares as unimportant and not worry about them," she says. Amie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless

children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard. Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children, that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making
bold X"s and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
However, when she reviewed his file, she got a surprise.
Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners…, he is a joy to be around ."
His second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is
troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote, " His mother"s death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in school.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now, Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents. Teddy"s present, however, was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper. Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts, a shinestone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle. How the children laughed! " What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely
perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.Alone together, after school, Teddy told Mrs Thompson, " Today you smelled just like my Mom used
to …" His teacher cried all night and,from that day, she stopped teaching reading, writing ,and arithmetic
and began to teach children instead.

s class picked for any sports team. "Football,tennis, cricket anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was
the object of jokes in school gym classes in England"s rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday t
hat changed him. At first he went bikingalone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his
mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first
marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway"s School of Adventure in
Scotland, where he learned about the older man"s cold-water exploits ( 成就). Intrigued, Saunders read
all he could about Arctic Explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren"t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn"t say, "You"re completely crazy,"" Saunders says. In 2001,after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he"s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation. This
October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back,
an 1,800-mile journey that has never been complete on skis.

hurt but the experience was very 3 .
There was so much 4 that my first thought was to just 5 my car as fast as I could. I could hear
the children from the car behind me 6 . when I got out, I could see the mum was trying hard to 7 her
crying children and move them away from the smoking 8 at the same time. I was shocked.
I though it would be 9 that the parents would be angry and upset. But 10 being angry with me,
the mum simply said to me "Come here. You need to join in our hug. "
Really? I couldn"t 11 my ears. It was such a warm gesture from someone whose family had just
been 12 be me! I felt much 13 afterwards.
Meanwhile, the father was getting the children"s 14 out of the back of his car because it was
freezing outside. When he came back, he asked me if I was okay and then gave me a 15 too! I
couldn"t believe it! I could see that he was completely shocked and dazed(茫然的)and yet he 16
managed this wonderful and warm gesture. To find pity in a moment like that is 17 incredible (难以置

all okay and unhurt!
The story didn"t stop there… A few hours later, after I reached my cousin"s home, the father 19
