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”.

Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.
I had seen an agency (中介机构) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 61 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as 62 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 63 quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office 64 me. The woman looked carefully at me 65 through her glasses, and then 66 me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 67 . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 68 . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be 69 to get a job without 70 . I wondered whether I ought to leave, 71 the telephone on her desk rang. I heard her say: “ 72 , I’ve got someone in the 73 at this very moment who might 74 .” She wrote down a 75 , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a 76 immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
“ Oh yes,” said I — 77 having cooked for more than four in my life. I 78 her again and again, and rushed out to the 79 telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. I spent the next few hours 80 cook books.

In the clinic, I asked if Michael could be retested, so the specialist tested him again. To my _36_, it was the same score.

On graduation day in 1972, Frank and I _46_ the ceremony at Yale. After the ceremony, we told Michael about the _47_ IQ score he got when he was six. Since that day, Michael sometimes would look at us and say _48_, “My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn’t be a doctor, not until after I graduated from medical school!” It is his special way of thanking us for the _49_ we had in him.
Interestingly, Michael then _50_ another IQ test. We went to the same clinic where he had _51_ the test eighteen years before. This time Michael scored 126, an increase of 36 points. A result like that was supposed to be _52_.

We were in love nevertheless-that 40 teenage love.I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会).It was understood that we had 41 about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents-panic.And it grew as the 42 letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to,nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college 43 in historic Providence,Rhode Island.
There was no 44 that I was drawn to Brown,but Billy (who had joined the army)was 45 down south and I had offers 46 for me there,too. I was torn between my love for him and my family 47 .

In August,I 52 and drove north to Providence.It took several months to 53 that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy's,Brown changed my life,opening doors and giving me the 54 I now use to think,to learn and to write. Life is always about 55 it seems,and the older I get,the more I understand this. Still,there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.
