　　John lived in a small town in England. He always stayed in England for his holidays, but last year he thought, “I've never been to other countries. All my friends go to Spain, and they like it very much, so this year I'll go there, too.” First he went to the capital, Madrid, and stayed in a hotel for a few days. On the first morning he went out for a walk. In England people drive on the left. But in Spain they drive on the right. John forgot about this, and while he was crossing a busy street, a bike knocked him down.

　　John lay on the ground for a few seconds and then he sat up and said,“Where am I?” Just then an old man selling maps of Madrid went past him. When he heard John's words, he said to him at once, “Map of the city, sir?”

That cold January night, it seemed 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 any possible robbers(抢劫犯). 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 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 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.

　　It took George quite a while to find a parking place (停车场) for his car and in the end he had to leave it in a narrow street, some way from the dentist's (牙科诊所).
