  What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars，movies and DVDs，sporting goods，travel tickets，musical instruments，clothes and shoes―the list goes on and on.

  The idea came from Peter Omidyar，who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988 ，he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby，at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升級) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill and in 1998 by his capable CEO，Meg Whitman，he has never looked back. Even in the great,com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

  EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyers and sellers into contact with each other.All you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business：the world is your market place. Of course for each item(商品)sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

 In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain quali?ties(品盾)of character,especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).

  Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

  At the same time,however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(過錯)in others. He notices their good points. In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

  There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默)，too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how to share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

  When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend！

  There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 1 you,but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you,but understand you. Many people will step in your life,but only 2 friends leave footprints(腳印).

  I shall always recall(回憶)the 3 and the girl with the violin. She will always bring back the 4 between us. I know she will always be my best friend.

  It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves floating in the cool 5 . In such a season, I liked walking 6 in the leaves, listening to the sound of them.

  It is a 7 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 8 But one day,the sound of a violin 9 into my ears like a stream(小溪)flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 10 in playing her violin.

  I had 11seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't know that I had been 12 there for so long but my existence(存在)did not seem to disturb her.

  Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin in the corner of the building13 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 14   . Though we didn't know each other,I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also 15  me.

  The season was nearly over. One day，when I was listening carefully，the sound suddenly  16  . To my astonishment(驚訝)，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 17 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     18 me，" she said.

  "In fact,it was your playing that gave me a meaningful 19 ，" I answered, "Let's be friends."

  The girl smiled, and so did I.

  I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure(身影)of the girl.

  She is like a 20 so short，so bright，like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the season beautiful.
