1. It was past 10:00 pm. I was busy with my schoolwork though I was
. Just then, my little brother Michael ran out of his room,
a pen on his right hand and a piece of paper on the other.
“Betty, can you help me with my
for school? It’s about the seven
of the world,” he said.
My eyes were so
on the computer screen that my brother had to pull my blouse just to get my

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

The most valuable things in life are the ones that we
take for granted(认为理所当然). These things don’t take the form of big houses or beautiful
. The most wonderful things in the world are immaterial (非物质的)
they can never be developed by human art, skill or effort.
