One cold night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home around one o'clock in the morning after a 1       practice at the the?atre. With the opening night only a week away,I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2        han?dling my parttime job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked,I thought seriously about 3        both acting and San Francisco. I had 4        too much of the city life.

  As I walked down the 5        streets under the tall buildings,I felt very small and cold,so I began 6        both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 7          a few homeless people under blankets.

  About a block from my 8       ,I heard a sound be?hind me. I 9       quickly,half expecting to see some?one with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street light. Still,the noise had made me 10        so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 11        what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 12        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. Al?though I searched the sidewalk 13        for 15 minutes,my wallet was 14        to be found.

  Just as I was about to quit the 15       ,I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 16        When a voice came from the inside, "Alisa Camcho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 17        look in his eyes. "Is this 18        you're looking for?" He asked,holding up something like a wallet.

  Finally,I got my wallet back.   I also got back some 19        of city life. I realized the city couldn't be a bad place as soon as people were willing to 20        each other.
