We’d like to believe that peace is normal and that the “hell” of war is rare and unusual. However, according to Wikipedia, there are 40 conflicts, or wars,     1     (happen) around the world today. Some of these wars are between countries, but most are within countries, much like America’s Civil War in the 19th century. One of these wars, the one in Afghanistan (阿富汗), a country     2     neighbors China along its Western border, has just ended. At least, we hope it has ended, because the final days of that war showed how terrible war can be.     3     the U.S. troops were waiting to leave Afghanistan, a terrorist bomb exploded at Kabul airport,     4     (kill) 90 civilians. Days later, ten civilians, including seven children, were mistakenly killed by an American bomb.

People who have lived through the horrors of war often don’t like to talk about their experiences. The memories are simply too painful. We should be grateful     10     we are at peace.
