七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Tolerance means tolerating or putting up with differences. __1__ This concept means different things to different people, but it is when something is disagreeable that tolerance is expected, and in more politically correct cultures, demanded.
__2__ A person might fully disagree with others on any issue, while at the same time respecting those with different opinions and treating them with dignity. Disagreement alone does not equal intolerance.
One problem is the fact that this respect is sometimes one-sided. Those who disagree with a particular issue must respect the opinions of those who support it, but some supporters feel reasonable in labeling those who disagree with hateful terms, and vice versa. __3__
When it comes to controversial issues, tolerance may also represent a “let's agree to disagree” attitude. It does not mean that a person has to accept actions or ideas that are against his or her values or beliefs. __4__ When both parties have expressed their opinions, and it is obvious that neither is likely to change position, agreeing to disagree is often the ideal outcome.
Some degree of tolerance is necessary in any civilized society. __5__ It goes against human nature. Putting up with differences is a virtue that requires honest effort on the part of every person. It takes time to develop.
A. There are many different ways to show tolerance.
B. Therefore, both parties should change opinions if necessary.
C. People on both sides of an issue must be tolerant of each other.
D. It means showing respect for the race, religion and opinions of other people.
E. It is widely accepted that tolerance is a critical step towards a peaceful world.
F. But it is not realistic to believe that all people can achieve it completely on every issue.
G. It means that each person agrees to respect the other's right to his or her feelings on the matter.
