Abstract: In this paper, we establish two gap theorems for ends of smooth metric measure space $(M^n,g,e^{-f}dv)$ with the Bakry-'Emery Ricci tensor $mathrm{Ric}_{f}ge-(n-1)$ in a geodesic ball $B_o(R)$ with radius $R$ and center $oin{M}^n$. When $mathrm{Ric}_{f}ge0$ and $f$ has some degeneration outside $B_o(R)$, we show that there exists an $epsilon=epsilon(n,su{p}_{B_o(1)}|f|)$ such that such a space has at most two ends if $Rleepsilon$. When $mathrm{Ric}_{f}gefrac12$ and $f(x)lefrac14d^2(x,B_o(R))+c$ for some constant $c>0$ outside $B_o(R)$, we can also get the same gap conclusion.
