18、能。有了这段求学经历，我开始对读书和写作如饥似渴，想要把自己的思想延伸到这个牢牢困住我的有毒环境之外，努力以这种方式来逃避监狱生活。我终于明白了一个道理，有时“男子汉气概”是有害的。我还想弄明白，为什么自己之前总是使用暴力来解决问题。然而，我发现总有一些“陌生人”拦在我和许多我想读的书之间。在全国范围内，监狱官员已经或在试图把很多书籍设为违禁品，其中包括生物学、纳粹大屠杀、素描、龙甚至与月亮相关的书目。 “这些禁令对于监狱的安全和保障是必不可少的”，这种说法实在是荒谬。实际上，我在监狱中读书遇到的每一位作者，都启发我努力成长为一个更好的人，一个能为社会创造价值、而不是只懂索取的人。如果我没有那段求学经历，我没能读到那些书本，没能让读书带着我的思想冲破监狱的铁丝网和高耸的水泥墙，我很可能还在监狱的院子里虚度时光。我的世界观，依然会被那有毒的男子气概以及随之而来的暴力和伤害所左右。我并不想以这副模样走出监狱，也不希望以这副模样重回社会。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案：9.C10.A11.A
