I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although, I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I had not the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I did not know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩). “I wouldn"t leave her out in the cold!” he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn"t let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.

It was the golden season. I could see the    leaves falling with the cool wind. For others, it is a harvest season, while for me, it is a（n）    season. I was        for the Postgraduate Entrance Examination. But so many unhappy things made me so tired, so I decided to have a walk along the Yanjiang Road in my university.
“Autumn is a lonely season and life is uninteresting. The days in this season always get me       ”, I thought when the sound of a guitar flowed into my ears, like a stream flowing from the mountains. A young girl, sitting on the lawn, was lost in playing her guitar. She was a beautiful girl,     when the wind blew her long hair. I had never seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly.
Lost in the music, I did not       that I had been standing for so long. But my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day when I passed by the lawn, I would see her playing her guitar. She was the only      and I was the only audience. During the rest of the days in the season, life became      and I could review the courses carefully.
Autumn was     over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
　“You         like the music,” she said.
　“Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
　Suddenly, a       expression appeared on her face.
　“I came here just to have a rest because I        in the college entrance examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that       me,” she said, “and I have to go tomorrow.”
“In fact, it was your playing that gave me a      autumn and helped me believe that I have the ability to pass the Postgraduate Entrance Examination.” I answered, “I think it was God who gave us the         to know each other and we should be good friends.”
　　She smiled and I smiled in that beautiful autumn..
