It is so cold on that dark winter day in 1942. But it is no different from any other day in this Nazi concentration camp (纳粹集中营). I am    1   dead, living on from day to day, from hour to hour,    2   I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands of other Jews (犹太人). Will I still be    3   tomorrow?

I walk back and forth (来回) next to the barbed wire fence (带刺的铁丝网), trying to keep my body    4   . I am hungry. I have been hungry for long. Each day, as more of us disappear, the happy    5    seems like a dream, and I sink deeper and deeper into hopelessness.

Suddenly, I notice a young girl walking past    6   the other side of the fence. She stops and looks at me with sad eyes that seem to say she cannot understand why I am here. I want to look away, but I cannot move my eyes away from hers. Then she reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a red apple. Oh, how long has it been since I saw    7   ! She looks round carefully and then with a smile quickly throws the apple over the fence. I run to pick it up, holding it in my shaking (颤抖)    8    fingers. In my world of death this apple is a sign of life, of love. I looked up in time to see the girl disappearing.

The next day I cannot help myself－I am    9   at the same time to that place near the fence. And again she comes and brings me an apple. For seven months we meet like this. One day I hear terrible news: We’re being shipped to another camp.

The next day when I greet her, my heart is    10   and I can hardly speak as I say what must be said: “Don’t bring me an apple tomorrow.” I tell her, “I am being sent to another camp.” Turning before I lose all my control (控制), I run away from the fence. I cannot    11   to look back.

And then one day the war has ended. Few of us who are still alive are freed. I have    12    everything, but I still have the memory of this girl.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one   16   that I will never forget.

    It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about  17   things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:

      18    lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   19  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  20  street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

    His  21   was dirty, and a stench （恶臭） came out. The neighbors could not bear the  22  any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and  23  the house. There were small bags of  24   all over the house that he had collected over the years.

    The police counted the money, and they soon   25  that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to  26   the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a   27  man now, a millionaire.

    But the old man said  28   ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29  ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.

    Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant (重大的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.
