10、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 to

11、o 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. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a s

12、ound 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 n

13、oise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id 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

14、, 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 youre looking for?” h

15、e asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back.

19、and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级

20、) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried yo

21、u in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.

Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and

23、traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.4Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for

24、some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they should

25、nt be burdened with their mothers well being. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.

30、ars to a mans life and two to a womans. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.
