I worked for a short time as a waiter at a       a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very         . One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet      the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out      was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that       there was something valuable in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour        a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I       him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his         . He asked me if I had opened     , and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it      showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash. He took out a twenty-dollar bill and       it to me and I was amazed at this.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been       if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to       the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my      that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than      we could buy with money.

Alice Munro was born in Wingham, Ontario. Her father, Robert Eric Laidlaw, was a fox and mink (貂) farmer, and her mother, Anne Clarke Laidlaw, was a school teacher. Munro began writing as a teenager. Her first story, The Dimensions of a Shadow, came out in 1950 while she was studying at the University of Western Ontario. During this period she worked as a waitress, a tobacco picker, and a library clerk (职员).
Munro’s first collection of stories, Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), won the Governor General’s Award, Canada’s highest literary (文学的) prize. That success was followed by Lives of Girls and Women (1971), a collection of interlinked (相互关联的) stories sometimes incorrectly described as a novel. In 1978, Munro’s collection of interlinked stories Who Do You Think You Are? was published. This book earned Munro a second Governor General’s Literary Award. From 1979 to 1982, she toured Australia, China and Scandinavia. In 1980, Munro held the position of writer in residence (住校) at both the University of British Columbia and the University of Queensland. Through the 1980s and 1990s, she published a short-story collection about once every four years.
On 10 October, 2013, Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. She is known as a “master of the contemporary (当代的) short story”. She is the first Canadian and the 13th woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature.

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”
Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”
I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”
“He must wish that already,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”
“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by pushing on steadily.”
Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare didn’t happen to fall asleep, the tortoise would never win the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never win the race. That’s for sure.”
I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

It all started when I was two years old. My parents didn’t get along and got divorced(离婚). I hated that I couldn’t see both of my parents at the same time. So my dad, my younger sister, Alexis, and I went to live with my grandma and grandpa. We lived with them for almost six years. My mom, on the other hand, lived with her boyfriend Michael in Oklahoma.
