Racial Prejudice In some countries where racial prejudice is acute violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences and this is not even questioned There are countries 1 the white man imposes his rude by brute 粗暴 force there are countries where the black man protests by 2 fire to cities and by looting and pillaging 抢夺 Important people on both sides who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men get up and calmly argue in 3 of violence as if it were a legitimate 合法的 solution 4 any other What is really frightening what really 5 you with despair is the realization that when it comes to the crunch 关键时刻 we have made no actual 6 at all We may wear collars and ties instead of war paint but our instincts remain basically unchanged The whole of the recorded 7 of the human race that tedious documentation of violence has taught us absolutely nothing We have still not learnt that 8 never solves a problem but makes it more acute The sheer horror the bloodshed and the suffering 9 nothing No solution ever comes to 10 the morning after when we dismally 阴郁地 contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us The truly reasonable men who 11 where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing They are despised mistrusted and even persecuted 12 their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as low enforcement If half the

twenty men or women If by the end of a conversation you 67 the person or would like to see him or her again you write it 68 on a card Then if the other person also fancies you you the organizers will

found in special geographical locations Large amounts of 61 and effort are required to 62 these locations Once the sites are found men and equipment must be brought to tap and use these sources of energy However a large proportion of such sites are found only in far and 63 places This increases the difficulties of 64 these forms of energy With nuclear energy such difficulties are not present Nuclear reactors can easily be built anywhere and man does not have to compete with the 65 of nature in order to obtain the energy For equal amounts of energy nuclear energy is much more convenient and inexpensive to obtain than conventional sources of energy With nuclear energy the amount of pollution is greatly reduced 66 the production of nuclear energy is based on the fission 裂变 of atoms pollution is kept to a very low level The energy produced in the reactors is converted into heal and electricity and these have 67 or no pollution at all Conventional forms of fuel 68 produce large amounts of pollution Production of nuclear energy uses the 69 of the fission of atoms thus 70 amounts of energy can be obtained from it The world s reserves of oil coal and natural gas are running 71 at a tremendous rate and current estimates predict that 72 of the 21st century most of these conventional fuels will be used up Nuclear energy is the exception 73 this gloomy prediction Through splitting and fusing atoms large amounts of energy can be produced and 74 this process can go on and on until all our energy needs are satisfied The 75 of nuclear energy as a boundless source of energy is indeed great and we must harness it whenever possible as conventional fuels will not be around much longer 61 A incentiveB capitalC interestD currency 62 A pointB recognizeC identifyD label

with the skills they need as the economic recovery kicks in a new survey 67 Nearly half of organizations told researchers they were already struggling to find 68 with skills in science technology engineering and maths STEM 69 even more companies expect to experience 70 of employees with STEM skills in the next three years The Confederation of British Industry 71 694 businesses and organizations across the public and 72 sectors which together employ 2 4 million people Half are 73 they will not be able to fill graduate posts in the coming years while a third said they would not
