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 theater. With opening night only a week away, 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. 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 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 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 eyes. “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. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

1... How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work？

A. Someone offered to take her back home    B. A red-haired man came to see her.

   Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage(舊式的)car they were planning to restore．After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner，Glenn Goodlove．Mr．Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car when he was home on leave from the US Navy．

    After searching online，Mr．Beck discovered that Mr．Putnam had changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego，California．He called Mr．Goodlove，asking to speak to a man who used to drive a’46 Hudson．    

    “There was a silence for about 15 seconds，”Mr．Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News．“Then he said，‘Who is that?”Mr．Goodlove，now 75，says he did not even remember losing the wallet，but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett，Washington，flooding back．“I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there”’he said．“They’ve been flowing ever since he talked to me．”

67．The lost wallet contained all the following EXCEPT            ．
