Over the ___2___, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was ___3___ around with.

She told me how she had been ___6___ to her parents about where she was going and even sneaking out to see this guy because they didn't want her ___7___ him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she ___8___ better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to ___9___ her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting ___10___. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was ___11___ to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and ___12___ by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come ___13___ to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to ___14___ our friendship - but I didn't.

I wanted to believe that our friendship could ___17___ anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our ___18___, and then she told me that she had ___19___ with her boyfriend.

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled (searched) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which 1 their search. I found 2 and because of my shaking hands, I could 3 get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked 4 the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I 5 to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. 6 he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I 7 . I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was 8 , perhaps it was because, when you get very, one to another, it is very 9 not to smile. In that instant, it was 10 a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but 11 , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I 12 smiling at him, now aware of him as a(n) 13 and not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new 14 too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the 15 of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. 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. 16 without another word, he 17 my cell (牢房) and silently led me out．Out of the jail，quietly and by back routes，out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
“My life was 18 by a smile.” Yes, the smile—the unaffected, unplanned, 19 connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could 20 each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or fear.

2.(D) lone指代前文中的一支煙。
3.(A) 因?yàn)?#8220;手抖”，所以“好不容易地”把煙放進(jìn)嘴里。
4.(B) bars指監(jiān)獄的鐵窗，透過(guò)鐵窗的間隙看著獄卒，下文也有提示。
5.(C) 根據(jù)下文的(獄卒)“came over”判斷我們隔著些距離，應(yīng)該是“大聲叫道”。
6.(A) 當(dāng)他靠近的時(shí)候。

14.(A) 下文他突然問(wèn)及孩子，所以這里是有了另外一個(gè)念頭。
15.(C) 根據(jù)下文“He，too，took out the pictures of his family……”可知。
16.(D) 獄卒聽(tīng)作者說(shuō)他的家庭孩子，不禁觸及他內(nèi)心柔軟的部分令他落淚，"突然" 二話(huà)不說(shuō)打開(kāi)門(mén)讓他逃走。
