One cold winter night in Shanghai, I was walking home at 1:00 a. m. after working long hours.I had bad luck with my job in the bank. The boss was not friendly or kind to me. Tired, I even thought about giving up (放弃) the job. City life here was really hard for me.
As I walked down the streets, I began running to keep warm. Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. I turned around quickly. But nobody followed me. Still the sound made me nervous (紧张的),I began to run faster. When I got home, I realized (意识到)what the sound was. It was my wallet (钱包)falling to the street. I lost my wallet!
I ran back to where I heard the sound. I looked for my wallet carefully, but I couldn't find it.
Just as I wanted to give up, I heard a voice (声音) from the inside of a garbage truck (垃圾车),"Alisa Chen?"I thought I was dreaming. How could he know my name? The door opened, and a small red-haired man jumped out,"Is this what you're looking for?"he asked me with a small wall et in his hand.
It was nearly 3:00 a. m. when I got home. Luckily, I got back my wallet. ____. I thought the city was still a good place for me.
