(2017·全国卷Ⅱ·B) 主题语境：人际沟通
， when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn't want me for the film—it wanted somebody as wellknown as Paul—he me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were craft (技艺) and focused on the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an affection. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other and by at events.
He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words.
