The train swung back and forth, its wheels screeching against the tracks. Outside the window the   1   cold of winter ruled. The carriage was filled with frozen, self-centered, bored   2  .

Suddenly a little boy pushed his   3   in between unfriendly grown-up legs --- the kind that only unwillingly   4   room for you. While his father stayed by the door, the boy sat next to the window,   5   by cold-looking, morning-weary adults. What a brave child, I thought. As the train entered a tunnel（隧道）, something totally   6   happened. The little boy   7   down from his seat and put his hand on my knee. For a moment, I thought he wanted to go   8  me and   9   to his father, so I shifted a bit. But  10   moving on, the boy leaned forward and stretched（伸出） his head up towards me   11   to tell me something. Kids! I   12   down to listen to what he had to say. Wrong again! He   13   me softly on the cheek.

Then he returned to his seat,   14   back and cheerfully started looking out. But I was   15  . What happened? A kid kissing unknown grown-ups on the train? To my   16  , the kid went on to kiss all my neighbors.

Confused, we looked   17   at his father, “He’s so happy to be alive,” the father said. “He’s been very sick.”

The train stopped and father and son got down and   18   into the crowd. On my cheek I could still feel the child’s kiss --- a kiss that had   19   some soul-searching. How many grown-ups go around kissing each other from the pure joy of being alive? How many even give much thought to the   20   of living? The little boy had given us a sweet but serious slap in the face: Don’t let yourself die before your heart stops!
