6、I had an interesting experience playing table-tennis last year. I was playing against a    1    opponent (对手) . The score was 20 to 17 in her   2     . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I   3     my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me   4     and said we had to continue until one of us   5     .

“Look,” I said, “if we    6    , one of two events will take place. Either you or I will win. If you win, I will begin to   7     my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played   8     , that we enjoyed the competition , and that we played to an even (相等) score ?” This was a    9    ending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made    10    to me to leave with a tie game , an impasse (僵局): no winner , no    11    !

So, my friends, here is the problem    12    me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to    13    other nations with time for retaliatory (报复) strikes . In such a nuclear time there    14    be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice to   15 global destruction is global impasse. This would be a   16     “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise (妥协). This is because compromise becomes the only means of    17    . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to    18    understanding of victory. The    19    victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins,  20     no one loses either .
