   There are many kinds of friends. Some are always    36    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    37    friends leave footprints.

    I shall always recall（回忆）the autumn and the girl with the    38 . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

    It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves    39    on the cool   40  . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves,   41  to the sound of them.

    Autumn is a   42  season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me   43  . But one day, the sound of a violin   44   into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was   45   in playing her violin.

    I had   46   seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been   47   there for so long but my existence (存在) did not seem to disturb her.

    Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building   48  I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became   49   .  50   we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me.

    Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly 51 . To my astonishment (惊讶), 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  52   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   53   me.” she said.

    “In fact, it was your playing  54   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. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure (身影) of the girl. She is like a  55   —so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.
