That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home alone 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(抢劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment(公寓房间),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(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 eye. “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 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.

Answer 1

答案：1D2D3A4C5B
解析：

1、根据第一段第一句就可以判断出来，作者描述她已经厌倦了这里的生活。 2、通过该段中“I was still learning my lines”一句话可以判断。 3、该题为细节题。文章中提到作者在回家的路上丢了钱包，但她并没有注意到。 4、作者不相信在这个地方，在这个时间，居然有人能叫出她的名字。 5、根据文章最后一句话“I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.”和文章第一段中作者失落的心情以及提到她打算离开此地的想法作对比，我们可以判断出她的心情明显好转并且改变了初衷。
