Is war unavoidable? Can war be prevented?History tells that there were wars, greator small, in every century, in every decade. Throughout the ages, from theStone age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords andshields(盾), thenwith guns and cannons, and now, hydrogen bombs and missiles are used formilitary purpose. But, in spite of all these, it is still my belief that warcan be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every oneof us.I am sure that we would not like to experienceanother world war. If it ever happens, two-thirds of the world and much of thecivilization which men have gained through time, patience and effort will bedestroyed. Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive onits own?Our task now is not to blame the past, butto plan for the future.If there is peace in the world, men can usetheir rockets to explore the mystery of space, their submarines to explore thedepth of the sea, their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment topenetrate(穿透) thejungles of Africa, instead of using them military.Governments can use their money to buildmore schools, so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens.Scientists can use atomic energy to propel (推动) steamships and planes. They can also design newmachines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of livingof the people.How can a peaceful world be achieved? Itrequires, in my opinion, the understanding and friendship between all peoplefrom all nations. Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of color, race,religion, or national origin. Let the rich support the poor and the strong helpthe weak.We know that neither peace nor such a dreamworld can come true in a day or a month. It may even take decades or centuries.But let us plan and begin now.1.The best title for this passage is_________.
