I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 1 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 2 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 3 children from different races and religions played and studied 4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 5 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 6 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 7 or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 8 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 9 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 10 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 11 touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 12 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 13 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 14 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so 15 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 16 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 17 to describe.
If we can allow our children to be 18 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 19 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and 20 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.

【解析】
试题分析:本文叙述了作者儿时的伙伴失去联系二十年之后又相见的故事。作者小时候曾在吉隆坡生活过,在那里,他认识了信奉伊斯兰教的Ismail,自己是一个 印度教徒。因为他们没有种族和信仰差异的偏见,他们成为了好朋友。后来作者搬到了Johor,从此,他们失去了联系。二十年后,他们在吉隆坡有相遇,仍然很亲密。所以说,作者认为我们应教育孩子没有偏见,与人建立起来友谊时不要考虑种族与地区。
