C. Fill in the blanks with proper words The inhaler（喷雾剂）was lying there on the table. Cassie froze. ―Oh no!‖ she breathed. ―Not again!‖ She looked at the little green c__81__ on the cooker—12:17. The train would leave at 12:34 and her grandpa had been gone around four minutes. Could she –f she ran like a racehorse – get to the station before he got on the train? There was no time to lose.

D. 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 theater. 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. 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 anymore. 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.
