And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and Iwas an Indian Hindu——we just our differences. Perhaps, our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice，well or otherwise.
We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we'd the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to the unexpected. At times Ismail would acpany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail s family later returned to their village, and I touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I my destination. The driver acknowledged my but did not move off. Instead, he looked at me. “Raddar? he said, using my childhood nickname(绰号). I was astonished at being so addressed (称呼). Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something to describe.

【小题2】根据最后一段第一句中出现的without prejudice“没有种族歧视”和下文的regardless of race or religion“不管种族和宗教”，可推知本空选择D项。
【小题3】本句是个定语从句，先行词指的是20世纪60年代的时候，所以用when。
【小题4】那个时候我们来自不同种族的孩子们一起（together）玩，一起学习，相处融洽。
【小题5】a stone’s throw 近在咫尺，本句指的是我家当时离Ismail的家很近。
【小题6】differences指的是上文提到的Ismail是个穆斯林教，并且我是印度教，根据下文的解释可知我们接受（accept）彼此的信奉的宗教的不同。

【小题8】选择explore“探索，考查”来形容当时作者和他的伙伴童真无邪的心理觉得一切都很新鲜，骑着自行车来“探索”乡下未知的事物。
【小题9】由于没去过乡下，再说是骑着自行车当然是想遇到一些没遇到过的事情，e across“偶然中遇到”。
【小题10】根据上文的acpany“陪同”可知答案为pany，“有他的陪伴我感到很高兴”。

【小题12】我叫了一个出租车并说明（state）了我的目的地
【小题13】这个司机告知我他获悉我到达的方向(instructions)
【小题14】由于是多年之后好朋友见面当然是Ismail应该是目不转睛地盯着我，选择fixedly表示不相信自己的眼睛，直盯盯的看着我，
【小题15】根据上文的childhood nickname，可知是熟悉的称呼familiarly，选择可知作者在异地有人叫他儿时的绰号感到非常震惊
【小题16】D
【小题16】根据本段第一句时间是in 1983和第二段第一句20世纪60年代可推知事情过了20多年，选择decade“十年”。
【小题17】C
【小题17】根据语境和本句中的a true affection，可知当时作者的心情是难以（hard）形容。
【小题18】B
【小题18】选择themselves指的是我们孩子们他们自己。
