Jane Goodall is one of the most famous zoologists in the world. She studied chimpanzees in a special way and made some great findings. Goodall didn't study chimpanzees in a zoo. She spent 38 years in the wild forests in Africa. She lived among them and found that chimpanzees used tools, lived in groups and had feelings like love and anger.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school. School is also the p  【1】 where you learn to get along well with people. But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?

If you d  【2】  that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容). Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the w  【3】 that other people do, so it is important to learn to live h  【4】 with them.

Tolerance will make everyone get on b 【5】  with each other. Knowing others constantly(不断地) makes us understand others’ differences.

Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance t  【6】  us to keep an even temper(温和的脾气) and an open mind.

You need to remember an old saying, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, s  【7】 it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or w  【8】  you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not to try to make them change.

It is important to practice tolerance because it will make e 【9】  life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and i  【10】. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make things better.
