The airplane had a good of newspapers, magazines, television programmes, food and drinks. The meal even a serving of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. This small present brightened me up . The gentle smile of the stewardess (空姐) was as beautiful as the after the rain.
When I the airplane, the language that entered my was completely different from what I was three hours ago. Although the street lights were as as Allentown's, the different clothes and expressions of the people me that I was in a new world. I stood in the busy streets like Alice the world in a fairy tale. My heart was with puzzlement about the indefinite future and longing for the new life. When I being able to do what I liked once more, that I would make new and that I could enjoy the fun of exploration, I could not to think about starting my new life.

Northern Europeans usually do not like having contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with . People from Latin American countries, , touch each other quite a lot.

My friend Erica and I went out for lunch and on our way home we came across a paper bag near the subway station. When we it up, we found there were a bunch of checks______a woman named Stacey, and a wallet with her ID card in it. The checks about $3,000！Besides, there were three＄100 bills. Erica suddenly thought up a idea that we would simply deposit（储蓄）the for the woman without saying anything. I alsothought it an interesting and good idea, but I that we ask her to do something good ______. So we decided to go to the where Stacey had deposited her money after some . When we reached the teller（出纳），Erica said “Hey, Madam, at some point during the day a woman named Stacey with a(n) expression on her face is going to come here asking about her lost checks and some cash. her that her checks were found and the person who found them wanted her to read this .”
“Stacey, I found your checks and them to the bank,” the note read, “I don't know whether you take the subway in the morning live nearby, but there is a man that sits outside the every morning. If you would like to pass along the good ，he would love a coffee and some bread tomorrow morning. Have a great day！”
I am to say that the next morning when we came out of the subway station, the homeless man was there with a big cup of coffee and some bread. He also some the following mornings. I guess Stacey was really about having those checks placed into her account.
