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 theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having   2  handling my part-time 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 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 except a few homeless people under blankets.

    About a block from my  7  , I heard a sound behind me. I   8   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  9  ，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I   10  what the noise had been. It had been my wallet  11  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   12  for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

    Just as I was about to quit the  13  , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came 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 blonde man with an  14  look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet.

    It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some  15  of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

Driving to a store after a busy day at work, I saw a man standing near the store holding a sign that said, “Will work for food.” I knew at that moment that I was going into the store and   36  him something to eat.
As I   37   the car park, I saw in my car mirror a lady come out from a hairdresser’s and 38  the man. I thought she must be going to give him some   39   or something to help him out. In the store I was   40  to get the things I needed and also the chicken dinner and a soda that I wanted to give the man outside.

I immediately  45  over and gave the man the dinner and soda and said, “  46  this will get you through today.” He looked at me and said, “Thank you so much!”
As I got back into my car, I looked in the   47   and saw the man swallowing the dinner like he hadn’t eaten for days.
I was so   48  that I was able to help him and at the same time I was so sad that the woman from the hairdresser’s,   49   , had asked the man   50   from her shop. It’s sad to say that   51  I live in a small city where homeless is not as   52   as in larger cities, people are uncomfortable with these people in  53 . All they need to do is lend a helping hand 54  and it could make a huge   55  in their lives
