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.

15.(C) 根据下文“He，too，took out the pictures of his family……”可知。

In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother"s Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. The sun shone at an angle across the field. The game unfolding in baseball time. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could gather. The boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin square in the chest.
His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn"t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift at the hospital had been changed, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the unconscious boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and administered CPR, breathing into his mouth and administering chest press.
And he came back.
It was a good thing, for a good kid. Kevin wasn"t just a volunteer for his brother"s baseball team --- he was a Boy Scout, one who went on to achieve Scouting"s highest rank, Eagle. He became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant. He liked the people, but the work could be hard and pretty routine. Until the afternoon of January 27, 2006.
Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hustled into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking. Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he"d first learned in Scouts, he pulled suddenly inward and up, once, twice, administering the Heimlich maneuver. The food that was trapped in the woman"s throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
"The food was stuck. I couldn"t breathe," she said. She thought she was dying. "I was very frightened.”
Guess who the woman was ? Penny Brown
