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

　　I    16    the book up from the floor and opened it， looking for my name. I thought that I would find something    17   . As I read， the blood 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 (描述) of   18 ， her dreams and her goals， and of the person who had encouraged her most. I started to cry.

　　I was her    19   . She admired( 钦佩 ) me for my personality ( 个性 ) and my achievements (成就). She wanted to be    20    me. She had been watching me for years. I stopped reading. I felt sorry for myself. I had put so   21   energy(精力) into pushing her away that I had missed out on being her friend.

That afternoon， I decided to go to her - this time to experience，   25   not to judge(判断)， to welcome， but not to fight. After all， she was my sister.
