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 the first performance only a week 1 , I was still
learning my lines. I was having 2 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 3 up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too
much for me. As I walked down 4 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running,
both to keep 5 and to keep away from any possible 6 . 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 7 quickly, half 8 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 realize
10 the noise had been. It had been my 11 falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn"t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to 12 I"d heard the noise.
Although I 13 the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 14 to be found.
I was about to give up the search when I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When
a voice called from the 15 ,"Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was 16 . 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, 17 up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn"t get much 18 that night, but I had gotten my
wallet back. I also had gotten back some 19 of city life. I realized that the city couldn"t be a bad place as
long as people were 20 to help each other. |

returned to Shanghai. Much to my surprise, the blue sky in Shanghai that I liked before was not as blue as that
in the US. I couldn"t help wondering what had happened.
A few days later, I went to tour Waitan (a famous tourist attraction in Shanghai) by the Huangpu River with some of my friends. There we saw five Ferrari sports cars by the side of the road. The red and yellow cars looked so nice that everyone was looking at them. However, when I turned my head, I noticed the sky over Waitan, I was shocked to find that the buildings in the Lujiazui area on the other side of Huangpu River could hardly be
seen. It was then that I realized that Ferrari cars could be bought with money, but a blue sky couldn"t.
Shanghai is an important economic (经济的) and trade center in China. It has made great contributions (贡献) to the whole nation"s economic development. However, we need to protect the environment during
economic growth. Pollution is poisoning our air and our rivers. Without clean air and rivers, how will people be
