% @+ a& O3 c0 d! S　　In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned.

We have still not learnt that________(8) never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The shear horror, the bloodshed and the suffering________(9) nothing. No solution ever comes to________(10) the morning after when we dismally(阴郁的) contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what his us.
