It was past 10:00 pm. I was busy with my schoolwork though I was 21 . Just then my little
brother Michael ran out of his room, 22 a pen in his right hand and a piece of paper in the other.
“Betty, can you help me with my 23 for school? It’s about the seven 24 of the world.” He said.
My eyes were so 25 on the computer screen that my brother had to pull my blouse just to get my 26 .
“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（愧疚） 27 I thought about his words, but my work seemed more 28 to me than my brother’s. I sighed a few times and 29 with my own studies.
The next day, I arrived home late. Michael came into my room.
“I know you are 30 , but there’s something I want to show you”, he began. Without saying a word, I 31 the paper from him. I really didn’t 32 what he was saying. All I wanted was to 33 him and finally get to rest.
Suddenly, my eyes widened in 34 . There, he wrote:
The Seven Wonders of the World
1．Love 2．Friendship 3．Peace 4．Joy 5．Wisdom 6．Fun 7．Family
I 35 believe what my brother had written on the paper. I was completely 36 .
How could such an innocent（天真的）little child 37 such things in life?
The most valuable things in life are the ones that we 38 take for granted. These things don’t take the form of big houses or beautiful 39 . The most wonderful things in the world are immaterial（非物质的） 40 they can never be developed by human art, skill or effort.

I arrived in the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English literature class．Having taught in the US for 17 years，I had no about my ability to hold their attention and to on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue．
I was shocked when the monitor shouted，“ !” The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness (尴尬) was over，I quickly calmness and began what I thought was a fact—packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps their admiration．I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a(n) of achievement．
My students diaries．However，as I read them，the happy mood was gradually by a strong sense of sadness．The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today． her next lecture will be better．”Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary，each expressing a theme．“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework (哲学体系) of Western thought and laid the historical for all the works we’ll study in class，” I complained．“How they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term，and it became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as of my students．I thought a teacher’s job was to raise questions and provide enough background so that students could ＿ their own conclusions．My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide information as directly and clearly as possible．What a difference!

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the of the rescue team.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his . “First of all I checked my conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no to call for help, I leaned（斜靠）back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed（打盹）off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle . It seems to be a negative attitude, a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great in the first place.

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you others. Because while there will be times outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision anyway.
You were with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior knew more than I did, and so I too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to and to life.

So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a asked if I could mind a child. I was quite but I could tell the man was quite desperate（绝望的）. So I had to make a with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to something in the shop.
This was quite for the man to do; I could he was quite poor by the he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his were also a bit shabby（破旧的）and the heels（鞋后跟）were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could with a bit of cheering up.
Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit as the poor little kid was sitting his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would up and come back for his son's .
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I he didn't get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected（拒绝）it. I he felt as if I had just abused（虐待）him. Of course I didn't mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good whatever happened.
The man opened the door to leave — father and son hand in hand.
