英语 必修·第一册 作业与测评 Period 4　Developing ideas 课时作业(四) Ⅰ　阅读 I grew up with a four－year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting. However, as we've got older, we've become closer, and I've learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn't realize I needed before. My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I've known. He's continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He's helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do. My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he's able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It's always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration for me to try harder at letting go. My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you're lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he's certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I've realized from my brother that I needn't speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it's necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者和弟弟随着年龄的增长变得越来越亲密，并且从弟弟那里学到了一些作者以前没有意识到她需要的东西。 1．What can we know about the author's childhood according to Paragraph 1?
