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 nearly3a.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.88.How many jobs did the writer do in the city she lived?________________________________________________________.89.How did the writer keep herself warm and safe in the street?________________________________________________________.90.Why did the writer feel nervous when she heard a sound behind her?________________________________________________________.91.When did the writer realize that the sound had been her wallet falling to the street?________________________________________________________.92.Who found the wallet for the writer?________________________________________________________.93.What did the writer think of city life at the end of the story?Why?________________________________________________________.VII.Writing94.Write at least60words on the topic“My opinion on getting pay for doing housework”【以“我对有偿做家务的看法”为题，写一篇不少于60词的短文，标点符号不占格】提示：一些家长为了鼓励孩子参与家务活，便给予孩子一定的报酬作为孩子承担家务的奖励，你怎么看这件事？可以结合自身的经历阐述观点和理由。
