I was facing a decision. While delivering laundry into ________ bedroom, I came across my thirteen-year-old sister’s diary, suffused (弥漫) with ________. What was I to do?
I had always been ________ of my little sister. Her charming smile, endearing personality and many talents ________ my place as leading lady. I competed with her secretly and grew to hate her natural abilities. ________, we seldom spoke. I sought opportunities to ________ her. Her diary lay at my feet, and I didn’t think of the ________ of opening it, considering not her privacy, nor the morality of my action.
I took the book from the floor and opened it ________, looking through the pages, searching for my name, convinced that I would discover ________. As I read, the blood ran from my face. I felt ________ and sat on the floor. There was neither charge nor hate. There was a brief description of herself, her goals and her dreams followed by a short description of the person who has ________ her most.
I started to cry. I was her ________. She admired me for my personality, my achievements and, ironically (嘲讽地), my ________. She wanted to be like me. She had been watching me for years, quietly admiring my choices and actions. I stopped reading, ________ with the crime I had committed.
I had wasted years hating her and now I had violated her ________. It was I who had lost something beautiful, and it was I who would never ________ myself to do such a thing again. Reading the earnest words my sister had written seemed to ________ an icy barrier around my heart, and I longed to know her again. On that fateful afternoon, as I ________ the laundry and rose to my feet, I ________ to go to her—this time to experience instead of to judge, to ________ instead of to fight. After all, she was my sister.
