完形填空。
I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a   1   opponent (对手).
The score was 20 to 17 in her   2   . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I   3   my
paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me   4   and said we had
to continue until one of us   5   .
"Look," I said, "if we   6   , one of two events will take place, either you or I will win. If you win, I will
begin to   7  my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn't it better to know that we both played   8  , that we
enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even (相等) score?" This was a   9  ending for my opponent
and for the persons watching this contest. It made  10  to me to leave with a tie (不分胜负) game, an impasse
(僵局): no winner, no  11  .
So, my friends, here is the problem  12  me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to  13  
other nations for retaliatory (报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there  14  be no winners, only losers. Under
these conditions, the only choice to  15  global destruction is global impasse. This would be a  16  "tie game"
where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise (妥协). This is because
compromise becomes the only means of  17  . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to  18  
understanding of victory. The  19  victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins,  20  no one loses
either.
