I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 　11 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 　12 ?

I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 13 children from different races and religions played and studied 　14 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 　15 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 　16 our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 　17 or otherwise.

We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 　18 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to 　19 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 　20 .

When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I 　21 touch with him.

One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 　22 my destination. The driver acknowledged my 　23 but did not move off. Instead, he looked 　24 at me. “Raddar?” he said, using my childhood nickname. I was astonished at being so 　25 addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two 　26 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 　27 to describe.

If we can allow our children to be 　28 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 　29 their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and 　30 we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.

　　Beyond two or three days，the world’s best weather forecasts are doubtful, and beyond six or seven they are worthless.
　　The Butterfly Effect is the reason. For small pieces of weather—to a global forecaster，small can mean thunder—storms and blizzards（暴风雪）—any prediction becomes worse rapidly. Errors and uncertainties increase，from dust devils and storms up to continent-size eddies（旋涡）that only satellites can see.
　　The modern weather models work with net-like points sixty miles apart，and even so，some starting data have to be guessed，since ground stations and satellites cannot see everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors placed one foot apart，rising at one-foot intervals all the way to the top of the atmosphere. Suppose every sensor gives perfectly accurate readings of temperature，pressure，humidity（温度）, and any other data a weatherman would want. Exactly at noon a powerful computer takes all the data and calculates what will happen at each point at 12.01, then 12.02，then 12.03…the computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton will have sun or rain one month away. At noon the spaces between the sensors will hide fluctuations（波动）that the computer will not know about. By 12.01，those fluctuations will already have created small errors one foot away. Soon the errors will have added to the ten-foot scale，and so on up to the size of the globe.
63．A weather forecast ____________ in the world.
A．is reliable within one or two days

D．is still worthwhile in seven days

C．between two cities 　　　　　　　 D．every one foot
65．Which of the following statements is true？
A．People have not placed sensors one foot apart in the atmosphere.
B．Scientists have already put sensors one foot apart in the world.
C．Every sensor gives perfectly accurate data a weatherman wants.
D．Ground weather stations and satellites can see every place on earth.
66．Our computer will not be able to know about fluctuations because ____________.
A．the sensors are not good enough
B．they are hidden by the spaces between the sensors
C．they are too far away
D．they move very fast
