I was sure that I was to be killed. I
became terribly nervous. I fumbled in my pockets to sec if there were any
cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my
shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had
taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact
with me. I called out to him ,Have you got a light?" He looked at me, shrugged
and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his
eyes inadvertently locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why
I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it 'was because, when you get
very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled.
In that instant, it was as though 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 a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but
stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to
smile. I kept smiling at him, now aware of him as a person and
not just a jailer. And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. "Do
you have kids?" he asked. "Yes, here, here." I took out my wallet and
nervously fumbled for the pictures 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
rifled 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.
Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell 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 saved 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 recognize each other, we wouldn't
be enemies. We couldn't have hate or envy or
fear.

单选题The fact that most Americans live in urban areas does not mean that they reside in the center of large cities. In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large metropolitan areas than in the cities themselves. The Bureau of the Census regards any area with more than 2,500 people as an urban area, and does not consider boundaries of cities and suburbs. According to the Bureau, the political boundaries are less significant than the social and economic relationships and the transportation and communication systems that integrate a locale. The term used by the Bureau for an integrated metropolis is an MSA, which stands for Metro politan Statistical Area. In general, an MSA is any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs and has a total population of 50,000 or more. At the present time, the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account for 75 percent of the US population. In addition, the Bureau recognizes 18 megapolises, that is, continuous adjacent metropolitan areas. One of the most obvious megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across 10 states on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. In the Eastern Corridor, as it is called, a population of45 million inhabitants is concentrated. Another megapolis that is growing rapidly is the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San Diego.
