One night recently, I was driving down a highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car came from the _21_ direction at about the same speed. As we _22_ each other, I looked into the driver’s eyes for a second. I 23 whether he might be thinking, as I was, how 24 we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall 25 , not to cross over into my lane (车道) and bring my 26 to a sudden end. He relied on me in just the same way without doubt.
I believe that is the way the world _27 . At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to cross over the double yellow line. Sometimes it requires us to _28 cooperatively, with friends or even 29 .
_30 technology makes our world smaller, the need increases for cooperation. In 2003, doctors in five nations were encouraged to find the causes of SARS, saving thousands of lives. The 31 of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring the 32 across the world. We must 33 that our future is not controlled by ourselves alone.
I’ve come to believe that one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while 34 alone down a dark road, we must know the coming light may not be a danger, but a 35 moment of trust.

C
Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes.Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden (监狱长) at Sing Sing Prison from 1920 to 1941.In these 21 years he made many reforms --- and an important part of his success was due to his wife Katherine.
Katherine took seriously the idea that the prisoners are human beings ,worthy of attention and respect .She regularly visited inside the walls of Sing Sing.She encouraged the prisoners, took things to them and spent time listening to them.Most importantly, she cared about them.And as a result, they cared deeply about her.
Then one night in October of 1937, news was "telegraphed" between the prison cells that Katherine had been killed in an accident.The prisoners asked the warden to allow them to attend her funeral.He agreed to their strange request and a few days later the south gate of Sing Sing swung slowly open.Hundreds of men who had committed almost every crime imaginable marched slowly out of the prison, later gathered again at the gate and returned to their cells.There were so many that they proceeded unguarded.But no one tried to escape.If he had, the others might have killed him immediately.So devoted were they to Katherine Lawes, the woman who daily walked into Hell to show the men a piece of Heaven.
Katherine' s strength was to see the men less as prisoners and more as individuals.Thomas Moore once said, "We can only treat badly those things or people whose souls we show no respect for."
