完形填空:

It was the golden season . I could see the yellow leaves  1  on the cool  2 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them.

Autumn is a  3  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me  4  . But one day, the sound of a violin  5  into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was  6   in playing her violin.

I had  7   seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn’t realize that I had been  8   there for so long but my  9   did not seem to disturb her.

Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building  10   I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only audience. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became  11  .  12  we didn’t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believed she also liked me .

Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my  13  ,the girl came over to me.

“You must like violin, ” she said.

“Yes . And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.

Suddenly, a  14   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  15   me. ” she said.

“In fact, it was your playing  16  gave me a meaningful autumn. ” I answered. “Let us be friends. ”

The girl smiled and I smiled.

I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a

 17  ; so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always  18   you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. Many people will step in your life, but only  19   friends leave footprints.

I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the  20  . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

Faced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own businesses instead. But a recent survey has showed that such ambitions lack the required support and remain just that — dreams.

The Shanghai Municipal Employment Promotion Center poll of 1,276 graduates in several universities and colleges in the city, released last Friday, showed 59.78 percent of respondents considered the possibility of setting up a company or at least a small store. "But they just stop at the 'thinking' stage," it stated.

Respondents put the top reasons for not going it alone down to a shortage of investment and a lack of business opportunity. They also listed lack of business experience and social networks, the need for advanced study and objections from family members as factors that stood in their way.

More than 90 percent of the interviewees said they would rather take up a job after graduating and then consider starting their own business two or three years down the road.

Guo Bing, a senior student in Shanghai International Studies University majoring in English, decided he wanted to be his own boss last year. But he is looking for a job first. "If I fail to find a satisfying job, I would like to establish a company in exhibition services," Guo said.

The Shanghai native has some relatives working in a local printing plant. With their help, Guo hopes to produce exhibition brochures at a relatively low price. He is also confident that his English language skills can help him do well in the industry.

"Social networking is an important factor leading to business success," Guo said.

Guo said that the shortage of graduate jobs is the main reason driving more university students to set up a business right after their graduation.

Jiang said the university sets up a business guide team made of government officials and professionals. They regularly give training courses to students who show an interest in having their own business. The parents of university graduates are more willing to help their children start up alone, the survey showed" Once you win the support of your family, you have won half the battle," Guo added.
