I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven __36__ years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life __37__. Suddenly I had to __38__ my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.

Finally, I felt my __39__ at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this home __40__ did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved __41__ me around. However, I seldom talked to him and __42__ asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, __43__ I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely __44__ from my mind, reached through the bars(護(hù)欄). At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched __45__. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed __46__. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the __47__ time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favoured(寵愛), but through the eyes of a __48__.

To this day, I can’t imagine life __49__ my brother. It is unbelievable how much I have __50__ about life from a seven-year-old boy. Above all, Rohan has taught me that one should not care only for himself.

I had to make a decision. While cleaning the house, I found my 13-year-old sister’s diary.

I _31_ the book up from the floor and opened it, looking for my name. I thought that I would find something _32_. As I read, the blood(血液) ran from my face. It was worse than I thought. I sat down on the floor. There was nothing bad there at all. There was a short description of _33_, her dreams and her goals, and of the person who had encouraged her most. I started to cry.

I was her _34_. She admired(欽佩) me for my personality, my achievements and, strangely, my honesty. She wanted to be _35_ me. She had been watching me for years. I stopped reading. I felt sorry for myself. I had put so much energy(精力) into _36_ her away that I had missed out on being her friend.

I wasted years hating someone—and now I had wronged her. It was I who had lost something beautiful, and it was I who would _37_ allow myself to do such a thing again.

Reading the words my sister wrote _38_ my heart, and I wanted to know her again. I was finally able to put away the _39_ things that kept me from her. That afternoon, I decided to go to her—this time to experience, _40_ not to judge(判斷), to welcome, not to fight. After all, she was my sister.

Good morning. I’m Chen Hua. Here’s my culture report for today, Monday:

A new film starts tonight at the student cinema at eight o’clock. The film is Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a fantastic adventure film. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are the stars. They are both very popular and famous, and they both act well in this film, and make their characters believable.

The story is about an old ship. It sails around the Caribbean islands. Depp and Bloom try to find some lost gold. Then they come face to face with some terrible men, and have to fight them. There's lots of action, and the fighting looks really dangerous. They also saves Keira Knightley. She plays Elisabeth, the daughter of a rich man. The scenes with Knightly and Bloom are beautiful and romantic.

The film isn't true to life, but it' s very exciting, and some of it is very funny. It' s an enjoyable film, although in my opinion there's too much fighting. But except for that, it's an excellent film. U you didn't see it when it first came out, I advise you to go and see it now. I' m sure you' 11 enjoy it. It' s showing all week.
