She was not a beautiful woman __(1)__ her scar (伤疤) on her face. His mother told him there was the scar when she was born.

      At the meeting, other people were impressed by the kindness and natural looks of his mother,  but the little boy felt embarrassed for his mom’s looks, and hid himself behind others. Just at that time, he heard the conversation between his mother and the teacher.

      “How did you get the scar on your face?” the teacher asked.

       The mother replied: “When my son was a baby, his room caught fire one day. (2)Everyone was too afraid to get into the room. I rushed into it in a minute. While I was running towards his bed, a beam(横梁) fell down and I placed myself over him to protect him. I was knocked and I knew nothing. (3)幸运的是，有人救了我们。

       She touched the burned side of her face.  “but I have never regretted(后悔) doing what I did.” She added.
