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.

  One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.

  This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford.

  Mi nor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

  But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane.

  Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

  In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

  Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

66. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________.

A. came out before Minor died      B. was edited by an American volunteer

C. included the English words invented by Murray

68. Why did Dr. Minor refuse to visit Oxford?
A. He was shut in an asylum                  B. He lived far from Oxford
C. He was busy writing a book             D. He disliked traveling

69. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because __________.

A. they both served in the Civil War.         B. They had a common interest in words
C. Minor recovered with the help of Murray   D. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor

70. What does the text mainly talk about?
