Autumn came again with happy steps. The trees turned yellow, so did the rice in the fields.

　 　 Some green leaves turned 　36　 　yellow and fell down. Why? Was it because autumn wind was so 　37　 ? Or was it because the leaves wanted to sleep in the breast of the earth? Perhaps 　38　 　answers were correct.

　 One evening I walked slowly, very slowly along the road leading 　39　 　the school garden. A green pine tree came to my sight. It was so green, so straight 　40　 　it were standing in the warm spring sunshine.

　 While I was thinking hard, it began to rain. The cool raindrops fell on my face. The autumn rain was　 45　 welcomed by the farmers. I thought that it was only too　 46　 　that we would have rains and snows in our life struggle. We had to 　47　 　the difficulties and did something practical to win the victories.　

　　 Oh, autumn, you made me think so much. May you live forever in my heart!
