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”.

Recently I fully understood that a little favor could really make a big difference. My daughter and I were, accidentally, in time to catch a falling heart just before it hit the ground.
It all started when Charlene, one of my co-volunteers at the library, asked if I could do her duty on Tuesday since her doctor appointment had been unexpectedly changed. I agreed, which meant I  was home on Friday instead of volunteering as previously planned.
My daughter, Mary, managers a book store in town. Mid-morning, she called to ask me for help. Would I buy a fifty dollar gift card, birthday card, and cake for one of Mary’s assistant managers, Cindy?
Mary explained she had to call Cindy in to take the place of another assistant manager who was sick, but felt terrible about it when she discovered it was Cindy’s birthday. Cindy insisted that it was just fine. But that was not what Mary thought, so she gathered enough money from other employees to throw a surprise party for Cindy. Since neither Mary, nor any of the other employees, could leave to pick up the goodies, they were turning to me for help. Days later, Mary told me the wonderful rest of the story, “Cindy cried and cried when we surprised her. After the party, Cindy told us that her boyfriend had chosen that morning to break up with her. To top that off, she only had 26 cents left in her bank account.”
We were surprised at the series of unexpected events that took place in order to circle Cindy with love and catch her falling heart just before it hit the ground.

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭)was  36 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.37 ,I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to  38  an Ivy League(常春藤联盟)school.Billy did not 39 into the equality. 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

I had been playing hockey(冰球)for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and   36  got into a game. I went to all the   37  and showed up even when it was so   38  that your ‘breath froze’ and when the otherplayers had decided to stay home. I felt I had   39  enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to   40  the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on   41  my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise   42  , so think about yourself in a   43  way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,   44  my shot(投球) accuracy and changing my   45  . 
Once in a match, we   46  our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my  47  place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going   48  . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little   49  .  But my mom’s words   50  out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my   51  work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the   52  to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had  53  me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s   54  has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I   55  myself.

A mother isdevastated, crying, yelling all she can in that dark corner. There was nobody tohear her yell and not a soul to calm her, because outside her house is a long winding lonely road.The wind was at rest and the leaves didn't rustle, silence filling the air. Loneliness was alreadykilling her, but no one knows what made her cry?
Losing something you love with all your heart isn't really the pain you can ever overcome.Radha lost her baby, her only means to live. She saw her child getting killed and the accidentwas terrible. One lonely night, she was walking down the street to get a breath of fresh air withher child hugged tight in her arms.
The whole time she walked with her child in her arms, the only thing that worried her wasAryan's future. She was imagining and feeling every day of the child's growthand figuringwhat she would have in store for him. But who knows what's in store for us tomorrow, life canchange in a second.
On that deserted road, were a few streetlights barely enough? It was this one light that couldbe seen from a distance,but as it came closer it got brighter and brighter. That light changedRadha's life into darkness forever. A speeding car came down that road. The driver came with a full speed throwing beer bottles out of his half open window. He was definitely drunk,and the speed took, everything in its path. Just then, there was a loud cry, and silence set in again.
But the mother wasn't hurt. She opened her eyes, unable to focus her eyes, and didn't seeAryan. After a few minutes when her sight cleared up she looked all over in a panic for her baby,but alas! ... The child hadn't even seen life.
Simple, don't drink and drive.You could take a life, but kill a number of people.
