That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was
still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at
night at the same time.
As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become
too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still
out except a few sad-looking homeless peopl e under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to
see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the
noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn"t cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I"d heard the
noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to
me. When a voice called from the inside , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this
man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look
in his eyes. "Is this what you"re looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn"t get much sleep that night, but I had got my
wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn"t be a bad
place as long as people were willing to help each other.
B. Lucky and hopeful
C. Satisfied and cheerful
D. Disappointed and helpless
B. getting used to the city life
C. learning acting in an evening school
D. preparing for the first night show
B. talked a lot with a garbage truck driver
C. was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knife
D. found some homeless people following her
B. would stay on in San Francisco
C. would make friends with cleaners.
D. would give up her job at the bank
