Answer the questions.

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in the city I lived. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. 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 the life in this awful place.

As I walked down the empty street under tall buildings. I felt very small and cold.

"Run!" I told myself and began to do so, both to keep warm and keep away from any possible danger.

About a block from my flat. I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun, but the street was empty. The noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. I didn't realize what the noise had been until I reached my flat and unlocked the door. It had been my wallet falling to the street.

I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I had heard the noise. Although I searched the street for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard a rubbish truck stop next to me, A voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name？The door opened and a man jumped out. "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.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。正确的涂“A”，错误的涂“B”。
When I was a boy, I didn't have any hair on my head. So I was very shy. I liked to watch my friends play in the park. Sometimes I would join them, but most of the time I just watched them play.
Every day, we would see an old man walking in the park. He had big ears and no hair. We thought he was dumb (哑的). Every time when my friends saw him, they would say loudly, "Hey, Mr. Dumb, what's the time?” But they got no answer.
One early evening, I was standing outside my house, and I saw the old man coming. I was not with any of my friends and there were no other kids around to say the usual words of "greeting( 问候)”.
But how could I let the old man walk by without saying anything? So for the first time, I asked, “Hey, Mr. Dumb, what's the time?"
The old man looked at me. Then he looked at his watch and answered, "It's six thirty. " I ran into my house and never said that "greeting" to the old man after that day.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!”But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be posted to his mother, who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car, he noticed a young girl standing by the road sobbing (哭泣).
