Amie Carton was only 18 months old when she had the accident that scarred （留下创伤） her for life．The curious child reached up to get the wire of a hot kettle in the kitchen and poured boiling water over her body．
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 Graffham 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 tops, and she plans to show the younger children at the summer camp that they can too．"I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars," she says, "I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago．"
56．When Amie first went to school, other children ______．
A．took interest in her injuries B．hoped to be her friends
C．were cruel to her D．were afraid of her
57．Why does Amie join younger children at the Graffham Water Center?

Mattel Inc．is recalling 4．4 million Polly Pocket toys with magnets （磁铁） after some of them caused serious injuries to children who swallowed magnets that fell off．Tiny magnets inside the toys may fall off without being noticed by parents and babysitters．The magnets can be swallowed or placed in children' s noses or ears．When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestine perforations （肠内穿孔） which can be deadly．
The Consumer Product Safety Commission received 170 reports of the magnets coming out of these recalled toys．There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet．All three suffered intestine perforations that required operations．A 2-year-old child stayed in hospital for 7 days and a 7-year-old child was hospitalized for 12 days．
The recalled Polly Pocket toys contain plastic dolls and accessories （附件） that have small magnets．The magnets measure one-eighth inch in diameter （直径） and are fixed in the hands and feet of the dolls, and even in the plastic clothing, hairpieces and other accessories to help the pieces stay on the dolls or the dolls' houses．
The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on the toys．Contact Mattel if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall．Polly Pocket magnetic toys currently sold in stores are not included in this recall．The model numbers included in the recall are: B2632, B3158, B7118, G8605, H1537 and H3211．The toys were on sales in department stores and toy stores from May 2006 through September 2009．
Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel for the return of the toys．For more information contact Mattel at 888 597-6597 anytime or visit the company' s website．

Retirement Age
Retirement is the point where a person stops employment completely．The " standard" retirement age varies from country to country, but it is generally between 50 and 70, according to the latest statistics, 2011．However, for a long time, people have got into an argument about whether the age of retirement should be increased or reduced in their own countries．
There are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able．Many people think that older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire．Besides, older employees are often extremely faithful employees and are more willing to implement company policies than the young．A more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people．To force someone to resign or retire at 60 or 65 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that effectively their useful life is over．
Allowing old people to work indefinitely （无限地）, however, is not always a good policy．Some people took the strong view that age alone is no guarantee of ability．Many young employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area for most of their working lives．Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization．On the other hand, older people should be rewarded by society for their life' s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy leisure．They can have time to do whatever they like, that is, they can have their own plans or roles and achieve their retirement goals．
With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers．However, this can affect the older individual' s freedom—and right—to work．In my opinion, giving workers more choices over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual．
63．According to the passage, older people should go on with w
