School is also the place 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 discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them. Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Knowing others constantly makes us understand others’ differences. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper 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. 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 what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change. It is important to practice tolerance because it will make everyone’s life easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference. 53 What is the most important thing to learn to get along with your classmates? ______________________________________________________________ 54. What is tolerance? ______________________________________________________________ 55. Why is tolerance important? ______________________________________________________________ 六、单词拼写-单句：本大题共5小题，共5分。 56. They r________ a lot of money for the poor kids last year. 57.
