It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves in the cool . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them. Autumn is a season and life is uninteresting. The free days always make me . But one day, the sound of a violin 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 in playing her violin. I had seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn’t realize that I had been there for so long but my did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building. I went downstairs to watch her performance, I was the only audience. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became . 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 , 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 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 me. ” she said.
“In fact, it was your playing 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 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 goddess; 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 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 friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with the . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

Last weekend, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 36 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 37 outside and I had no plans to 38 being in the bright sun. She 39 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 40 and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 41 , I decided to help her.
42 she asked me, “What if we 43 this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and 44 her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 45 ideas. While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n） 46 with beautiful images of smiles. They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the 47 of their exercise was “smile”. It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 48 to do something for others.
All that seemed 49 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 50 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 51 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 52 to help clean cars. Passers-by were 53 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 54 !
I feel blessed by being 55 by such wonderful and loving souls.

More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 36 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections, 37 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 38 to win a school election. I was 39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I 40 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would 41 elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my 42 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 43 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest 44 was the faith I had. I would not allow my 45 appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I 46 my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 47 them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 48 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election 49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal(校长) announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 50 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was 51 theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 52 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 53 the way. I had won the 54 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and 55 their day.

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points．He was 41 and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 42 . His beaming(欢笑的）face turned to shock．"You're 43 my grade?" he said angrily．"I would never have come in 44 …"
He didn't finish the 45_ , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 46_ .He thought he'd have it all —praise and the higher grade．
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 47 because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being 48 in the future．And every time I tell this story, some people agree to this 49 ．
But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my_ 50 in grading by undermining(损害） the honesty of all my grades by failing to 51 an error．The grade itself would be a dishonest 52 of his knowledge and it would have been 53 to other students．How could I 54 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 55 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like 56_ too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do．People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 57 as much as anyone else．The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is 58
enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing．
Perhaps lowering the student's grade did 59 him from being honest in the future, but bribing（贿赂）him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have 60 him even more．The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards．

As I understand, if scientists produced a human clone, there would be a great risk of it having a disease. Nobody seems to understand the ageing process of a clone. It would be terrible if a baby was the age of its parent at 31 . Its cells would grow old fast and it would die young. 32 until the technique is perfectly safe, it should be 33 .
I'd love to have a clone of 34 . I often wish I had a twin sister, someone who 35 me in everything. So why not a clone? Well, the idea 36 be fun but I'm not sure if it would be 37 . I think we would be playing with fire if we let scientists go ahead with 38 cloning. There are so many 39
involved that all research in this area should be strictly controlled.
There are so many arguments 40 cloning that it is difficult to get anyone to consider the possible benefits. I am 41 that it is a technique which could be beneficial. The most obvious use would be for childless 42 . They would be able to have babies with their own genetic material. I don't see what's wrong with that.
Imagine a child 43 up knowing that his or her mother is really a sister or a brother. The emotional 44 on the child would be 45 . Or a child who was cloned from a dead brother or sister. What kind of emotional pressure would they feel, knowing they were made as a replacement for another? The whole idea
46 me!
It's all very good to ban human cloning but scientists should be allowed to 47
research. If they don't, we may 48 important benefits for our society, such as producing body organs. A clone is an 49 copy of a person with the same gene. Therefore, it is the 50 donor for an organ(器官) transplant.
