There I was， walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a ‎ week ago, 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 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 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.‎ ‎25.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?‎ A. Cold and sick B.

The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 2, 299 yuan ($375), less than half the 5,288 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.‎ Xiaomi, founded in 2010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.‎ Xiaomi "is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following" in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.‎ ‎"Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand," said Blair. "The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market."‎ Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 3 billion yuan ($12.2 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.‎ Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents.‎ In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a "rite of passage" (成年礼) for a young ‎ company.‎ ‎32. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 2010 in China.‎ B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.‎ C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.‎ D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.‎ ‎33 .What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?‎ A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.‎ B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.‎ C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.‎ D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.‎ ‎34 .How is the 5th paragraph developed?‎ A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing cause and effect.‎ C. By providing data. D. By making comparisons.‎ ‎35. What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?‎ A. Negative. B. Satisfied. C. Positive. D.
