17、t folks 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) _ their limited view of life. Or maybe intolerant students have simply never been (
18、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
19、 dont believe in that specific belief, thats 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 disa
