  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 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(搶劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

  About a block from my apartment(公寓房間),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 anymore.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(垃圾車)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.

  Modern supermarkets sell nearly everything. Housewives usually need things like household goods, tinned food, fish, meat, fruit and vegetables. The busy housewives do not have to travel all the way to the crowded markets to get food or provisions. They can get all they want from the supermarkets, which are usually air - conditioned. The prices at the supermarkets are fixed and the housewives need not have to bargain.

  It is not true, however, to say that things in the supermarkets are very expensive. Some things may cost a little bit more but generally the prices of things are not much higher than those in small shops or market stalls.

  The advantage is that housewives can do their shopping very comfortably in one place. They do not have to go from one place to another. They can buy everything they need and save time and trouble.

  Fans burst into cheers as China's 44 - year effort to reach the World Cup finals was finally fulfilled in Shenyang on October 7,2001 with a 1 - 0 win over Oman in the Asian qualifier (合格者).

  Happy fans throughout the world's most populous country rushed into the night to celebrate the historic victory for which they have waited for decades. Expectations of a Chinese victory against the Oman team were so high that celebrations had been prepared beforehand and started at the stadium immediately following the match. “Today is the most important day in my life,” said Zhang Jingquan, a 23 - year - old man who has recently graduated from a university in Beijing.

  The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage (到處進(jìn)行暴力) and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing. While in European countries people have always been aware of football's power to make supporters react in such a strong and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response.

  The competitive nature of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group. With its fierce competition and mass participation, football is unique (獨(dú)特的). It is the world's number one sport. The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators (觀眾) to look on fearfully. People can experss themselves through football. It's quite easy to learn and play the sport: you need only a ball.
