One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the  36  direction at about the same speed. As we  37  each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second.  I wondered whether he might be  38  , as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall  39  , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden  40 . Though we had  41  spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.

    Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world  42 . At some   43  , we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us  44  not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act  45  , with friends or even with  46  .

    As technology  47  our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which  48  thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a  49  problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world’ We must recognize that our fates are not ours   50  to control.

    In my own life, I’ve put great stock in  51  responsibility.  52  , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of  53  . So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a  54  road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of  55  .

C
Perhaps you have never heard of Katherine Lawes．Katherine was the wife of Lewis Lawes, warden （監(jiān)獄長(zhǎng)） 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．"
