问题     When two hands meet, we pass on something of ourselves. After  【26】______ to Mark Twain, Helen—who was both deaf and blind—commented, "I can feel the twinkle of his eye  【27】______ his handshake." In some indefinable way, Twain had  【28】______ his charm to Keller.
    And that’s probably been true of the handshake all the  【29】______ back to its earliest days, —  【30】______ no one can tell its actual  【31】______ . A common explanation is that  【32】______ early man encountered a stranger, he  【33】______ out his hand to show he had no weapon. From this, supposedly,  【34】______ the handshake.
    Not so, says historian Brian Burke. He believes, the handshake  【35】______ "putting your blood behind your breath." He explains that ancient people  【36】______ the spoken word alone, and they used the handclasp to signify that their  【37】______ was backed up by the  【38】______ of their heart—i, e. , their blood.  【39】______ , the handshake suggested trust.
    That  【40】______ of trust has survived to this day. People in business often  【41】______ agreements simply by declaring, "Let’s shake  【42】______ it."
    Perhaps the most  【43】______ handshake took place on July 17, 1975, during the Apollo-Soyuz get-together in space. After the two crafts came together, American astronaut Thomas Stafford  【44】______ the extended hand of Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov. The  【45】______ to the world was one of friendship and peace.
