问题     Kevin Rogers used to be my boss. At that time he was a hard-working, up-and-coming businessman  and a real slave-driver, always telling us we had to sell more and more. As soon as I could, I got a job with another company. The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago. At least that’s what I thought until last Thursday. But now I’ m not so sure.
    I was on my way back to my office in the center of town. There is a small park nearby which I sometimes walk through after lunch, it is empty, except for an unshaven, shabby-looking man on one of the benches. He looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old, gray overcoat. It was a cold, wintry, day, and he was shivering.
    "It’s been a long time since I had a meal. Can you help me?" he said. There was something about his voice that sounded familiar. I gave him a few coins and he mumbled something about being grateful. As he stumbled past me, I looked at his face closely. I wondered where I had seen him before.  Then it hit me. Could it possibly be ? No! impossible, I thought. I watched him walking away.  He was the same height as Rogers but looked a lot thinner than I remembered. Then, as he left the park and turned down the street, I caught sight of his face again, this time in profile. The nose was the same as Rogers ’ , too. I almost followed him but something made me stop. I just couldn’ t be sure. But the resemblance was very close.
    Yesterday I rain into someone who had worked for Rogers at the same time I did, and had stayed on longer. I started telling him about the man I had seen in the park. For a moment I thought it was our old boss. The voice, the nose, and even the face were just like Rogers, but it couldn’ t have been. "Rogers must be the director of a big company by now," I said.
    My ex-colleague shook his head. "I thought you knew."
    "Knew? Knew what? What are you talking about?"
    "Rogers was sent to prison six years ago. He’ s probably out by now. For all I know he’ s sleeping on park benches and begging money from passers-by."
