阅读理解。 That cold January night,
阅读理解。
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 theatre. With opening night only a week ago, 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 (抢劫犯). Very few people were
still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment (公寓房间), 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 anymore. 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 (垃圾车) 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 eye."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 gotten
my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad
place as long as people were welling to help each other.
1. How did the write feel when she was walking home after work

boy, I was so shy that I dare not talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could
do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My English
teacher asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and
students of my school!
"Come on, boy, believe in yourself. You are sure to win." Then my teacher and I talked about many
different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself." I tried my best to remember all the speech
and practiced it over 100 times. With my teacher's great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe
my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.
Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all said"Congratulations!" to me. My teacher hugged
(拥抱) me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will
find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
