I was caught in the war and put to prison．I was sure that 1 was to be killed，I became

terribly nervous．I reached in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes（香煙），which had  1 their search．I found one and because of my   2  hands，I could only get it to my lips．But I had no  3  ．

      I looked   4  the bars（鐵欄）at my jailer（獄警）．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   5   my cigarette．

    As he came close and lit the match，his eyes met with mine．At that moment，I smiled I don't know  6  I did that，Perhaps it was  7  ，perhaps it was because，when you get very close。one to another，it is very hard not to  8  ．In any case，I smiled．It was   9   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   10  in the eyes and continuing to smile．

    I kept smiling at him，now   11  of him as a person and not just a Jailer．And his looking at me seemed to have a new   12  ，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   13   and hopes for them．My eyes were filled with   14  ．I 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，  15   ，he unlocked my cell（牢房）and silently led me out．Out of the prison，quietly and by   16  routes，out of the town．There，at the edge of town，he set me   17  ．And without another word，he turned back toward the town．

    My life was   18   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   19  each other，we wouldn’t be enemies．We couldn’t have  20  or envy or fear．

Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 　1 into stillness by what I saw. Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, 　2 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 　3 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 　4 to understand. “I guess we all have to 　5 sometimes,” Mother said quietly. I could 　6 her pain and the tension (緊張) of 　7 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me 　8 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 　9 my shoulder and sobbed (啜泣). I held her 　10 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could 　11 it was enough. In that moment, feeling mother’s 　12 with feelings, I understood for the first time, she being so easy to 　13 . She was still my mother, 　14 she was something 　15 , a person having the ability of bearing fear, 　16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 　17 in her arms.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 　18 . “It’s a job I can do, though,” she said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very 　19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping 　20 across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
