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 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, 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 eyes. “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 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.

“OK, class.Count off(报数)by five.” 1 Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does.Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”-which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任务).
2 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people.Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others.Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. 3
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with-maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten. 4 For example:working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient.And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(联合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it.
5 If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!
A.Few of us act alone in the real world.
B.Why is this type of project so popular in school?
C.With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.
D.Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project.
E.Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of.
F.When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next.
G.One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused.
