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    36   dead, living on from day to day, from hour to hour,    37   I was taken from my home and brought here with tens of thousands of other Jews (犹太人). Will I still be    38   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    39   . I am hungry. I have been hungry for long. Each day, as more of us disappear, the happy    40    seems like a dream, and I sink deeper and deeper into hopelessness.

Suddenly, I notice a young girl walking past    41   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    42   ! 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)    43    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    44   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    45   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    46   to look back.

And then one day the war has ended. Few of us who are still alive are freed. I have    47    everything, but I still have the memory of this girl.
