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

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In a job, the ability to read and understand can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are readers. Most of us bad reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main reason in the fact that words have little meaning they are put together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time and often goes back to words or passages. The tendency to look back over you have just read is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which down the speed of reading is sounding each word as reads.
To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a machine called an accelerator(加速器), which moves a bar the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate the reader finds comfortable, in order to train him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, word-by-word reading impossible. At first it is difficult to understand. But you have learned to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skill quickly after some training. Charlce Au, a business manager, for example, his reading rate was 172 words a minute the training and now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is happy that now he can a lot more reading materials in a short period of time.
