My senior year of high school was very busy. If I wasn’t studying or worrying about __36__, I was taking part in many activities after class or __37__to make my plans for college.

       As the senior year began to slow down, I got a __38__ job working at a local coffee shop. I had expected that the job would be __39__, but there are __40__ when I was angry because I couldn’t seem to __41__ anyone. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough milk. However, I __42__ working at this coffee shop.

       One day, one of my __43__ customers came in, looking depressed and defeated. I asked what the __44__ was and if I could help, but the customer wouldn’t say any details. He just said that he felt like lying on the bed, __45__ the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt. Before he left, I handed him a __46__ with his coffee. He looked at me __47__ because he hadn’t ordered anything but the coffee. He opened the bag and saw that I had given him his favorite cookies. “It’s on me.” I told him.

       The next day that customer came again. __48__ ordering anything, he __49__ me a pink rose and a thank-you note saying that not too many people took the time to care about __50__ and that he was __51__ there were still people like me in the world.

       As time went on, I came across many __52__ customers. But anytime I felt __53__, I thought of that little __54__. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my __55__ and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves  1  in the cool wind. In such a season, I liked walking  2  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  . Though 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   12  , 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  13  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   14  me, ” she said.

“In fact, it was your playing  15  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.  16  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.
