题目内容:
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 catch the wire(电线) of a hot kettle(壶) in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her little body.
Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie terribly burnt, called an ambulance(救护车) which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty per(组织)taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, surgeons(外科医生)performed difficult skin grafts(移植) to close her wounds and control her illness, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie experienced 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils say cruel words about her 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.”

This month, Ammie will join the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridgeshire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to pay no attention to unkind stares(注视) from others,” she says.
