It was the golden season. I could see the leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is a（n） season. I was for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me ”, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl, when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.
Lost in the music, I did not that I had been standing for so long. But my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became and I could review the courses carefully.
Autumn was over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You like the music,” she said.
“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a expression appeared on her face.
“I came here just to have a rest because I in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the to know each other and we should be good friends.”
She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn..

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(连接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.
A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (计算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites into low Earth orbit(轨道)in 2015.
This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基础设施)to access the web.
We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.

“But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are — even dandelions!”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded(点头). “And the same as ,” she said.

We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the of communicating face-to-face. We all know young people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually to them.
If we carry on like this, in the future, we'll lose the use of our . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!

Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both , plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a place.
Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees soon after they were planted because they weren’t watered well enough. workers burned them and cleaned the place for trees to be planted this year. a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote,“I hope this tree will grow up with me to the backbone (栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that the survival(存活) of the trees was really more important than trees were planted.
Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate (捐赠) some money and let professional (专业人士) plant and the trees.

Nowadays, WeChat ismore and more popular in China. No matter where we are, we can sign up and sent text or voice messages to our
.We can also find a stranger to talk to by shaking the
. Another funny function is that WeChat can help to search for people
live nearby with the program on. Many people like this function, because it can help them to find more people who they may know.
In my, Wechat is really a useful chatting tool. It can help people communicate with their friends more
. However, it is also bad for people, especially students. As you see, some people use Wechat for too long. It is not healthy to them. So I have some
to use it in a correct way. First, we should not use it
we are studying. We can’t focus on your
if we use it. Second, we must be careful. We should neither show too much personal information nor trust strangers so much.
We should learn to use it properly. Remember, Wechat is not everything in your life. Don’t depend too much on it.
