注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。
Intolerance is the art of ignoring any views that differ from your own. It __26__ itself in hatred, stereotypes, prejudice, and __27__. Once it intensifies people, intolerance is nearly impossible to overcome. But why would anyone want to be labeled as intolerance? Why would people want to be __28__ about the world around them? Why would one want to be part of the problem in America, instead of the solution?
There are many of the explanations for intolerant attitude, some __29__. childhood. It is likely that intolerant forks grew up __30__ intolerant parents and the cycle of prejudice has simply continued for __31__. Perhaps intolerant people are so set in their ways that they find it easier to ignore anything that might not __32__ to their limited view of life. Or maybe intolerant students have simply never been __33__ to anyone different from themselves. But none of these reasons is an excuse for allowing the intolerance to continue.
Intolerance should not be confused with disagreement. It is, of course,
possible to disagree with an opinion without being intolerant of it. If you understand a belief but still don't believe in that specific belief, that's fine. You are __34__ your opinion. As a matter of fact, __35__ dissenters (持异议者) are important for any belief. If we all believed the same things, we would never grow, and we would never learn about the world around us. Intolerance does not stem from disagreement. It stems from fear. And fear stems from ignorance.

This means that wherever you attend a university or college, you can enjoy a new culture and have the opportunity to share yours with your new friends.
美国是个移民大国。2亿8千居民居住在我们的50个州上，几乎美国原居民都声称他们的祖先就是从世界上其他地方而来的。很多的大小团体都代表了几十种文化。这意味着你无论在哪上大学，你都能享受全新的文化体验，而且有机会和你的新朋友们分享你的文化。

Myth #6: American students are rich and can easily afford a university education.
谜团6：美国学生很有钱，而且轻轻松松就能担负大学教育的学费。
Myth #7: American university/college residence halls are undesirable places to live, providing little privacy or security.
谜团7：美国大学的学生宿舍很不受欢迎，因为有人说没什么隐私而且不安全。
Myth #8: Everyone owns cars in the United States, so I could live in Boston and commute daily to New York for my university studies.
谜团8：在美国人人都有车，所以我能住在波士顿，然后每天去纽约的大学上学。
Myth #9: Americans are so impersonal—there will not be anyone on campus to help international students in times of crisis.
谜团9：美国人非常没有人情味——学校里遇到危险的时候都没人去帮助国际学生。
Myth #10: Campus life—and especially on-campus housing—has too many rules.
