主题:盲人到塔上参观

词数:384

难度:★★★☆☆It

was

a

sunny

winter

day.I

had

gone

up

and

down

the

tower

when,outside

the

little

door

at

the

foot,a

blind

man

came

toward

me.He

was

a

pale,thin

man

with

dark

glasses.He

kept

close

to

the

inner

wall

of

the

courtyard.On

reaching

the

door,he

touched

it

and

sharply

turned

inside.In

a

moment,he

disappeared

up

the

staircase.I

stood

still,looking

at

the

little

sign

that

said

“To

the

Tower...”.I

felt

obliged

to

follow.I

didn’t

follow

closely.I

caught

up

with

him

in

the

ticket

office.There

I

was

surprised

to

see

the

attendant

selling

him

a

ticket

as

though

he

were

any

other

visitor.With

the

ticket

in

one

hand

and

touching

the

wall

with

the

other,he

reached

the

staircase

leading

to

the

hallway.“That

man

is

blind,”

I

said

to

the

attendant,but

he

showed

no

concern.“He’s

blind,”

I

repeated.He

didn’t

answer,looking

at

me

vacantly.“Perhaps

he

wants

to

jump,”

I

said.But

his

chair

was

too

comfortable.He

didn’t

stir.He

still

looked

down

at

a

crossword

puzzle

he

had

begun.I

turned

toward

the

staircase.“The

ticket,”

the

attendant

said,rising

from

his

chair.It

seemed

the

only

thing

that

could

move

him.After

purchasing

my

ticket,I

hurried

up

the

staircase.The

man

hadn’t

gone

as

far

as

I

imagined.After

ten

minutes,I

approached

him.“Excuse

me,”

I

said

as

politely

as

I

could,“but

I

am

very

curious

to

know

why

you

came

up.”“You’d

never

guess,”

he

said.“Not

the

view,I

take

it,or

the

fresh

air

on

this

winter

day,”

I

said.He

smiled.“Coming

up

the

stairs,one

can

feel

the

change—the

cool

staircase

suddenly

becomes

quite

warm

and

how

up

here

behind

the

wall

there

is

shade,but

as

soon

as

one

goes

opposite

a

narrow

window

one

finds

the

sun.In

all

of

Siena

there

is

no

place

so

good

as

here.”He

moved

into

the

sunlight.Then

he

stepped

into

the

shade.“Light,shade,light,shade,”

he

said,and

seemed

as

pleased

as

a

child

who,in

a

game

of

hopscotch,jumps

from

square

to

square.We

went

down

the

tower

together.I

left

him,gladdened

as

one

can

only

be

by

the

sunlight.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者看到一个盲人买票到塔上去参观,他跟上去,后来得知原来盲人是来塔上感受光影变化的,盲人也能感受到世界的美好。1.Why
