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.

As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.

Salsa (萨尔萨舞)

I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表现力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.

Ping-Pong

Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?

My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.

Tae Kwon Do （跆拳道）

I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.

That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.
