We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or     26      each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the     27     of doing so.

The easiest way for us to get in touch and make    28     is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have     29    in the last few years and offered such kinds of     30     for free. So we can make friends    31     through the Internet. Maybe we do not    32    all these “friend” well. We add friends only    33    we seem cooler with more friends online.

Then how do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by posting our     34      to each other. At times , “friends”     35     “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21^st century?

Of course, using these Internet services is not     36    for saying “ Hi, what’s up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends     37    these websites. And at times we     38  a time to go to a movie or get together. What’s more, we kids can      39     our friends’ favourite music when we are on the Internet.

Believe it or not, these Internet services will be    40     for a while, and it is really a convenient way for us to keep in touch.

Mike didn’t do his English homework. The teacher asked him    31  . “I’m sorry, I   32  .” “But why did you forget?” “It didn’t seem   33   or important,” said Mike. “Are you going to punish (惩罚)me?” asked Mike. “   34  . The punishment is for me. I didn’t teach you well,” said the teacher.

“Thank you,” said Mike. “You are the best    35  in the world. I can never know as much as you , but you taught me a lot.” “How can I be a good teacher if the students do not know more than me? I will not succeed until that happens,”   36  the teacher.

After two years of hard work, Mike left and felt sad.   39  when he played it in public, everyone said it was perfect, and he found he could play other pieces of music easily.

　 It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves(树叶) dancing in the cool wind. I felt lonely and life is uninteresting. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I ran out to see where it was from. A young girl, standing in the wind, was lost in playing her violin.

　　 I had never seen her before. The music was so wonderful that I forgot who I was.

　　 Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the same place and I was the only listener. It seemed that I no longer felt lonely and life became interesting. We didn’t know each other, but I thought we were already good friends.

　　 One day, when I was listening, the sound suddenly stopped. 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 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 is your listening every day that has encouraged me." she said.

　　 "In fact, it is your music that has given me those meaningful days." I answered. "Let us befriends."

　　 The girl smiled and I smiled.

　　 I never heard her play again in my life. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream; so short, so bright that it makes life beautiful.

　　 There are many kinds of friends. Some are always with you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. I shall always think of those golden days and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
