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 .

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.
