2．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 people 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 3a．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．

I often thought of what a woman once taught me，and I reminded （20）myselfof the importance of stopping，sitting down and （21）truly（true） listening．

"I won't!"Patterton's voice rose．"Who do you think you are，giving orders-----""I'll tell you who I am，Jerome．I'm the guy who warned the board against in-depth involvement with SuNatCo．I fought against heavy trust department buying of the stock，but no one-----including you-----would listen．Now Supranational is caving in．"Alex leaned across the desk and slammed a fist down hard．"Don't you understand？Supranational can bring this bank down with it．"
Patterton was shaken．"But is SuNatCo in real trouble？Are you sure？"

"Get me Mitchell in the trust department…Mitch？This is Jerome．Listen carefully．I want you to give a sell order immediately on all the Supranational stock we hold…Yes，sell every share．"Patterton listened，then said impatiently，"Yes，I know what it'll do to the market．And I know it's irregular．"His eyes sought Alex's for reassurance．The hand holding the telephone trembled as he said，"There's no time to hold meetings．So do it!Yes，I accept responsibility．"
He hung up and reached for a glass of water．"The stock is already down．Our selling will depress it more．We'll be taking a big beating．"
"It's our clients-----people who trusted us-----who will take the beating．And they'd have taken a bigger one still，if we'd waited．Even now we're not out of the woods．A week from now the SEC may disallow those sales．They may rule we had inside knowledge that Supranational was about to be bankrupt，which we should have reported and which would have halted trading in the stock．
