One night, I was sitting in my kitchen half listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

   About 20minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the __1__. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kev, do you want to talk?” No answer. I tried again, “Hey, why don’t you come out of there?” Again, no answer. So I took a stack of（一堆） cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to ___2___, we can write notes to each other.”

    An hour later I was ___3____ sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank(空白的) and the other was cards _4__Kevin on which he had translated all his unpleasant feelings into words for me.___5___ I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “___6___ in this family cares about me, I’m not clever. Tommy thinks I’m a fool and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even __7_ me.”

   Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. It was ­­­­­__8___what he had said about me. I wrote back, “You know Kev, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it to you. I am here for you and you are ___9__ in this family.”

  There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had ___10__ cards wrote on a torn-up(撕毁的) paper cup, “Thanks.”

  I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best to __11__ half notice my family members any more. Kevin and I have a closer ___12__  now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”
