walk next to the wire fence.I am not thinking about my steps;I am moving mechanically across the landscape,kneeling on occasion when I think I see a bit of timber or other item that I can use to start a fire.Suddenly,I notice a young girl walking past on the other side of the wire.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.2b She has the light,gravity-free steps of a fairy.She stops and looks at me with sad eyes.The camp has taken its toll on me.I want to look away,as I feel oddly ashamed for this stranger to see me like this,sickly thin and in torn,stained clothing,but I cannot take my eyes from hers.,Chinese,Question 2,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.3 Then she reaches into her pocket,and pulls out a red apple.Oh,how long has it been since I have seen one!And how this one shinesgreater than any crystal!She looks cautiously around,and then quickly throws the apple over the fence.I pick it up and hold it in my frozen fingers.In my world of death,this apple is an expression of life,and her act is the product of love.I glance up in time to see the girl disappearing into the distance.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.4 The next day,I am drawn to that spot near the fence,as if pulled by a magnetic force.Am I crazy for hoping she will come again?Of course.But in here,I cling to any tiny trace of hope.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.5 Again,she comes.And again,she brings me an apple,flinging it over the fence with greater precision than before so that the apple flies over the fence and drops directly above me.I catch it as it is descending.I hold it up for her to see.Her eyes shine.,Chinese,Question 3,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.6 For seven months,we meet like this,and I am becoming accustomed to this apple diet,but it soon comes to an end.One day I hear frightening news:I am being shipped to another camp.,Chinese,Question 4,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.7 The next day when I greet her,my heart is breaking,and I can hardly speak as I say what must be said:“Do not bring me an apple tomorrow,”I tell her.“I am being sent to another camp.We will never see each other again.”Turning before I lose all control,I run away from the fence.I cannot bear to look back.If I do,I know she would see the tears streaming down my face.,Chinese,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.8 Years pass.It is 1957.I am living in New York City,a far cry from the awful scenery of Nazi Germany.And I have achieved a modest amount of prosperity,having gone into the business of aluminum fence installation and recycling.A friend,who is in the insurance business,convinces me to go on a blind date with a lady friend of his.Reluctantly,I agree.But she is nice,this woman named Roma.And like me,she is a foreigner,so we have at least that in common.,Chinese,Question 5,Question 8,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.9“Were you exiled during the war?”Roma asks me gently,in that careful way people with experience ask one another questions about those years.Para.10“No.I was in a concentration camp in Germany,”I reply.I dont specify which camp,or give any other details right then.Telling the story has become tedious,as I have done it so many times.,Chinese,Question 6,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.11 Roma gets a faraway look in her eyes,as if she is remembering something painful yet sweet.Para.12“What is it?”I ask.Para.13“You see,when I was a young girl,I lived near a concentration camp.There was a boy there,a prisoner,and for a long while,I used to visit him every day.I remember I used to purchase apples and throw them to him.I would throw the apple over the fence,and he would be so happy.”,Chinese,Question 7,问题预览,生词学习,随 笔,阅读理解,Para.14 With my heart pounding loudly,I look directly at Roma and ask,“And did that boy say to you one day,Do not bring me an apple tomorrow.I am being
