Question

brother Michael ran out of his room,2a pen in his right hand and a piece of paper in the other.
“Betty, can you help me with my3for school? It’s about the seven4of the world.” He said.

“Look, not right now! I’m very busy.” I said. “You’re always busy! You’re always like that!” he replied.

The next day, I arrived home late. Michael came into my room.
“I know you are10, but there’s something I want to show you”, he began. Without saying a word, I11the paper from him. I really didn’t12what he was saying. All I wanted was to13him and finally get to rest.
Suddenly, my eyes widened in14. There, he wrote:
The Seven Wonders of the World
1.Love 2.Friendship 3.Peace 4.Joy 5.Wisdom 6.Fun 7.Family
I15believe what my brother had written on the paper. I was completely16.
How could such an innocent(天真的)little child17such things in life?
The most valuable things in life are the ones that we18take for granted. These things don’t take the form of big houses or beautiful19. The most wonderful things in the world are immaterial(非物質(zhì)的)20they can never be developed by human art, skill or effort.
