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．

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．
