At that time my family lived a stone's 40 from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an IndianHindu—we just 41 our differences. Perhaps，our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 42 or otherwise.We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d 43 the countryside on our bicycles，hoping to 44 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his 45 .When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I 46 touch with him.One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I 47 my destination.

For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists whogive signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to 11 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is 12 .Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 13__ others.

According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触) even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries, 45 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is __47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 .

My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth. But, as she looked at me, sincerely waiting for 37 , I realized she was not trying to be rude. "I never think about it," I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people 38 me and saw only gappy teeth.Later that day at home, I began to 39 my teeth again. I felt upset.
