Read the following passage.

English
1 answer:

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Let's reread the question.

"Based on the passage, what can you infer about the character Mei?"

Since the question is asking you to infer about Mei's character, when reading the passage, pay attention to Mei's attitude, how she acts, and key words used to describe her.

Based on the Mei's actions, such as boasting "We did it!" repeatedly, and getting up to walk around the kitchen, we can infer that she was excited and happy. So we can scratch out B, since nothing in the passage should lead us to thinking Mei is timid.

At the end of the passage, it says "Her brother laughed, surprised and amused. 'Who are you, and what have you done with my sister, Mei?'"

By using the key words "surprised" and "amused", we can infer that Mei does not usually act this outgoing and loud. If she did, there wouldn't be any need to be surprised because that would be her normal character. So we can scratch out A, since Mei's brothers attitude shows that this isn't Mei's usual behavior.

Now, the last two answers are C, "Mei is not very athletic." or D, "Mei is not usually so boastful and energetic." The answer should be more obvious now.

Like B, nothing in the passage should lead us to thinking Mei isn't very athletic, so we can scratch out C.

And now, the only answer we have left is D! Hope this helped! :)

Speech on tolerance and peace
balu736 [363]
Good morning one and all present here ,
Tolerance is the advantage of a cultured age. It helps us to put up with those who have diverse traditions and thoughts, distinct philosophies and point of views.

Our ability to tolerate the opinion or behavior other people is the key for living a peaceful life. If we practice patience in our every actions and deed, speech and behavior, it will lead to peace. Otherwise, it would be an atmosphere of disagreement and confusion. In ancient days we had intolerance everywhere. Intolerance means refusal to be just and fair because of being narrow-minded and blind selfishness. It is the result of inflexibility, a certainty that there is only one belief that is right. Without broadmindedness, people waste their energy on pointless arguments.

Man is a social being and has to live in a spirit of harmony and cooperation with others. In this process some amount of giving and take is necessary. So with all these examples, it is crystal clear that tolerance is at the root of the peaceful solution of problems of all kinds. Hence, we have to cultivate the habits of understanding.

How to Promote Peace and Tolerance?

How can one promote peace and tolerance? The first reasonable thing that would probably come to mind is by adopting rules, regulations, laws, and declarations. Just take an example, the General Conference of UNESCO adopted the Declaration of Principles on Tolerance on 16 November 1995.

It must have marked a new chapter in the long evolution of the idea of peace and tolerance, successfully getting it across to every single living being or did it? What if we take a look at it and any other such document from a different perspective, zooming in on just two tiny pieces of the full diversity? Not at the state level but the very grassroots through the eyes of two ordinary representatives of humankind?

Innovative project

Promoting understanding and peace is innovative. We have to remind people why life is beautiful, why they should work together, and why we must help each other. Because it’s not about race, or language, or color, or religion, or who is right and who is wrong, it’s about bringing together our world, healing each other, and embracing diversity, also teaching not to fear but to love, and this in return will give us a new peaceful world.

Acceptance and understanding are the answers to create peace, and this key is the way to implement the values of tolerance, through various means. For instance:

Education: As the great Nelson Mandela said and I quote “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” With an educational system, we can inspire the future generation to live in peace, and they may pass on this idea to their children. Especially in primary school, if children are taught about this continually, there is more chance that the lesson will stick to their minds, and maybe inspire them to do more for their communities and spread peace in the process.
Law: Laws should be fair to everyone, for white, black, Muslim, Christian. Because the law is above all of us, and the justice must consist of all the judgment, and look at people in equal.
Media: Nowadays, media is so powerful, because of it the world becomes a small village, and through it (TV show, news, programs) it will be easier to spread the idea of tolerance and peace and to sow as fast as possible these values in viewer’s hearts.

Thank you
