5. There have been a few (不同意见) between the two parties.
5. disagreements
When you are little,it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my 1 when,at the age of 12,I 2 delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them. “Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on 3 poverty and finding environmental answers,4________ a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to 5 others,to work things out,to respect others,to clean up our mess,not to hurt other creatures,to 6________,not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us,but I 7 you,please,to make your 8 reflect your words. ”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation (长时间的喝彩) • Some of the delegates 9 cried. I thought that maybe I had 10 some of them,that my speech might actually spur (激励) action. Now,a decade from Rio,after I’ve sat through many more conferences,I'm not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little,the world was simple. But as a young adult,I’m learning that as we have to make 11________education,career,lifestyle—life gets more and more 12________. We are beginning to feel 13 to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is 14________,but aren’t taught how to 15________ a happy,healthy or sustainable (可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and 16________.
Today I’m no longer a child,but I'm worried about what kind of 17________ my children will grow up in. I know change is 18________,because I am changing,still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great,19 if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices,we will rise to the challenges,and we will become part of the 20 tide of change.

3. If we (make) adequate preparations,the confer- ence wouldn't have been so successful.
In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other ani?mals. This sometimes happens with humans,too. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feet unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get im?patient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇口八) or even shouting at me. At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. ”And everyone under?stood. Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting im?patient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we're brave when we're scared.
