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.
