There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 26 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 27 friends leave footprints (脚印).
I shall always think of the autumn and the girl with the 28 . It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 29 in the cool wind. Autumn is a harvest（丰收）season and life is uninteresting. The free days always let 30 down. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 31 in playing her violin. I had 32 seen her before. The music was so nice that I didn't know I had been 33 there for so long.
Every day I went to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 34 . I thought we were already good friends, 35 we didn't know each other.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly
36 . To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
37 , a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 38 me.” she said.
“ 39 , it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream—so short, so bright, like a star giving off so much light that it makes the 40 beautiful.

When Sandy was a little girl, she liked keeping pets. She had many books about animals and many pictures of animals on the walls of her bedroom. She often said that she would work in a 41 when she grew up.
Most of Sandy’s pets were quiet small—parrots, cats, dogs and so on. But one day she met something quite 42 .
That afternoon, Sandy’s mother was surprised to see a big animal with long hair in the kitchen. He 43 a T-shirt and was sitting on the chair, trying to put on a pair of glasses and making faces at her. In front of him, on the table, were a basket of fruits and a glass of water. “Sandy, where are you?” the mother shouted. Then suddenly she remembered that a few days before a young gorilla (大猩猩) called Jim had run away from the zoo.
“I found him in the city square,” Sandy said. “He seemed so 44 . I talked to him. We became friends at once and he followed me home.”
“Well, you know you 45 keep him,” her mother said. “You must send him back to the zoo. You’d better phone the police.”
Soon a 46 came and also a truck from the zoo. 47 was angry with Sandy when she told her story. The policeman knew Sandy loved animals. And the zookeeper said, “Thank you for your kindness. I can see Jim likes you, 48 we need to take him back.” Sandy agreed. She hugged Jim and said that she would go and see him 49 .
