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 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.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 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 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 3A.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 willing to help each other.

6.Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park,at an airport,or under a bridge.The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10years."It is hard.It's hard to live homeless.You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat.If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter,I wouldn't know where I would be by now.I might be dead,"Talley said.
According to 2015government data,more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night.As many homeless shelters across the U.S.remain at or near capacity,the country faces complicated challenges.In his fiscal 2017budget,President Obama proposed spending $11billion over the next 10years to fight family homelessness.
The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs.Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.
"I went to Africa in 1985.And I saw an immense amount of poverty,but I saw so much hope.And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,"Michell said."It is convenient,homelessness just happened to be what was around me.So I picked that,"she added.
When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25years ago,its three shelters had about 80beds.Now,it has 350beds and serves about 1,500homeless people every year.Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.
"We do outreach,we do prevention,we do permanent housing,we do transitional housing.We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,"she said."Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values,and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility."

18.I was walking along the main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking for somewhere to make a phone call.My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to contact the AA Company.Low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time I crossed one of the side streets.It had rained in the night and water was dropping from the bare trees that lined the street.I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.
There was no sign of a call box,nor was there anyone at that early hour whom I could ask.I had thought I might find a shop open selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds,but the town was completely dead.The only living thing I saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.
Then suddenly I found what I was looking for.There was a small post office,and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street.Next to it was the town's only public call box,which badly needed a coat of paint.I hurried forward,but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside.He was fat,and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat.I could not see his face and he didn't rais e his head at the sound of my footsteps.
Carefully,I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait for my turn.It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the box call door.
