She slowly put her arm around the child and started 6 a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏) was the same. Jenny sang a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the 7, another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They8 many smiles together.

    From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela's9 on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don't have any language barriers here. We 10 speak and communicate!” At that moment, she understood: we're all simple human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.

    Autumn was9over. When I was listening heartily（尽情地） one day, the sound suddenly stopped. To my surprise, the girl came over to me. "You10like music," she said.

    "Yes, you play very well. Why did you stop?"I asked.

    Suddenly, her face looked 11."I came here just to have a rest because I12in the College Entrance Examination. I felt very disappointed. And it was your listening every day that13me," she said," and I have to go tomorrow."

    "In fact, it was your playing that gave me a14autumn and helped me believe that I can pass the exam," I answered." I think it was God who gave us the15to know each other and we should be good friends." She smiled and I smiled too, in that beautiful autumn.
