I was caught in the war and put to prison.I was sure that I was to be killed,I became terribly nervous.I reached in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes(香烟),which had 36__ their search.I found one and because of my 37 hands,I could only get it to my lips.But I had no 38 .
I looked 39 the bars(铁栏)at my jailer(狱警).He did not make eye contact with me.I called out to him,“Have you got a light?” He looked at me,and came over to 40 my cigarette.
As he came close and lit the match,his eyes met with mine.At that moment,I smiled I don't know 41 I did that,Perhaps it was 42 ,perhaps it was because,when you get very close,one to another,it is very hard not to 43 .In any case,I smiled.It was 44 a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts.I know he didn't want to,but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips.He lit my cigarette but stayed near,looking at me 45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him,now 46 of him as a person and not just a jailer.And his looking at me seemed to have a new 47 ,too.“Do you have kids?” he asked.
“Yes,here,here.”I took out my wallet and nervously searched for the pictures of my family.He, too,took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his 48 and hopes for them.My eyes were filled with 49 .w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mI said that I feared that I'd never see my family again,never have the chance to see them grow up.Tears came to his eyes,too.
Suddenly, 50 ,he unlocked my cell(牢房)and silently led me out.Out of the prison,quietly and by 51 routes,out of the town.There,at the edge of town,he set me 52 .And without another word,he turned back toward the town.
My life was 53 by a smile.
Yes, the smile—the unaffected,unplanned,natural connection between people.I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could 54 each other,we wouldn’t be enemies.We couldn’t have 55 or envy or fear.

When I was in middle school, I was one of the smaller players on the basketball team. In our first game of the season, we were 31 to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my 32 , it would have been easy to be 33 by our competitors.
On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his 34 rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that 35 , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What 36 is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his37 as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to 38 it this year.”
When I heard the coach’s 39 , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence 40 and I played better that year than I’d ever done before.
It’s 41 what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big 42 . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to 43 the best in people, we need to sow seeds of 44 .
As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.” 45 , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life.
When people are 46 us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel 47 and inspired after spending any time with you and me48 feeling discouraged or defeated.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution, from the last time they had a 36 problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.

In the end, one 50 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the51 idea comes quite 52 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 53 hits on the solution to his problem: he must
54 the brake.
Finally the solution is 55 Sam does it and finds his bicycle work perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.
