Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you’ve read.

The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.

Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn’t give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor’s (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.

A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel’s love for books. Liesel’s family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.

“It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel’s story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.
