I was shopping at my local supermarket, as I normally have for years. One particular day, I had done about 2 weeks worth of shopping and   36   toward the register to pay for my groceries.  After the cashier had scanned my items and I had bagged them up, she stated that the 37   was $150. 

I   38  into my back right pocket to grab the money to pay and noticed that there was no money there.  I started to get   39   .  I knew my pocket book was in the car and I was sure I had put the    40    in my back right pocket. I looked at the cashier with wet eyes and a   41 look not knowing what to do.  There were people behind me on the line. She told me to speak with the courtesy counter (爱心柜台).  I  42    and said, “Really? It's  43   , no one would hand that in!”  But she  44    me to. “You never know…” she said.

I decided that there was no   45   in checking so I walked up to a woman behind the counter and said “I have to ask, did anyone   46   cash by any chance?” She asked “How much?" My face then  47   .  “$200 in the form of one hundred dollar bills.” I replied.  She said, “  48  , yes, someone did!" I was so   49  ! “Who? I want to thank her.”  She pointed to a young girl about 10 years old and says, “She did.”

I walked over to the mom and hugged her. She said, “It wasn't me, it was my    50  ” .  I said “I know, I wanted to thank you both,    51    she found it ... it's because of you that I got this back.” I was so happy, I was almost in tears. 

The next day at work, a person in another department   52   me tickets to the circus.  He handed me 5 tickets. Almost  53    that young girls face popped (突然出现) in my head.  After work I went back to the supermarket and stopped at the courtesy counter and asked if she had any idea who that woman was. She smiled and said, “Yes, She is a friend of mine”.  Then I asked her to do me a favor and pass along these 5 tickets to her.

She told me that the family of the little girl who found my money were not rich so they would really   54   this.  She also said that they had 3 children, so five was the   55   number of tickets!

I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.

    The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived，which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting，one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.

    Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings（出租房）and move into college for their final year.

    Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town；it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops，pubs，and supermarkets，but most of it is university-colleges，departments，libraries，clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops，cafes，banks and churches，making these as well part of the university.

    With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break，better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions，carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.
