with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them
choose to eat in the brightly lighted restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan,
who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she"s planning one day
to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works
twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid
forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She"s discovered something else too.
You don"t have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
"A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan," she explains."They like you to
recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just
want to be left alone. Then there are people who can"t make up their minds. They look down the menu and
say"What do you suggest?"So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say, "Not very", I suggest the salad bar,
with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they"re very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak,
with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It"s very nice. Real good value."
Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she"s learning too much about people. She"ll probably make
a good animal doctor, but if she find she doesn"t like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist (心理
医生) instead.

learning my lines. I was having 2 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 3 up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too
much for me. As I walked down 4 streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running,
both to keep 5 and to keep away from any possible 6 . 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 7 quickly, half 8 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

10 the noise had been. It had been my 11 falling to the sidewalk.

Although I 13 the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was 14 to be found.
I was about to give up the search when I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When
a voice called from the 15 ,"Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was 16 . 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, 17 up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn"t get much 18 that night, but I had gotten my
wallet back. I also had gotten back some 19 of city life. I realized that the city couldn"t be a bad place as
long as people were 20 to help each other.
