I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away had received a call saying she had just passed wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn’t want to intrude (打擾 ) on this very personal period of was torn about what to friend with me then said,“Just be there.”I did,and I will never regret it. Since then,I have not hesitated to be in the presence of I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated was not awake,and obviously unaware of others’, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family,playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.

B Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modem creativity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological (使用細菌的 )or chemical weapons, may soon offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international problems in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is the most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (仲裁 ) according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption(采納 )of this or that ideology (意識形態(tài) ) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based on statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their followers believe in them so that they are willing to go to war in support of them. The movement of world opinion during the past few years has changed so much that we can wele it. It is believed that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was several years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that people should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb. 25. It is implied in the first paragraph that war now is . A. as bad as in the past B. as necessary as in the past . C. worse than in the past D. not so dangerous as in the past 26.
