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 most famous nursery rhymes(摇篮曲) in the English language is Mary Had a Little Lamb(羔羊). It has touched many children who have read it. It is about the deep love between a young girl and her pet lamb. The poem is from a true story that happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA.
Mary Sawyer (1806－1889) lived on a farm with her family. One day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its mother. It was very weak and looked as if it would die at very moment. Mary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after it. Eventually, it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary, following her everywhere she went.
One day, the lamb even followed Mary to school. At first she wanted to turn it back but her brother suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to school. During the class, she hid the lamb under her desk. But when she was called to go to the front of the class, to her surprise, the lamb followed her. Though the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school, the teacher had to ask Mary to keep the lamb outside of the school.
That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Mary’s school. He was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next day. His poem contained twelve lines.
Later, Sara Josepha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. The poem has become a classic, loved by children all over the world. The appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love between the little girl and her pet. The town of Sterling has honoured Mary’s lamb by building a statue (雕像) of the lamb with Mr Roulstone’s poem below the statue.
