If someone were to ask me who the most influential person in my life was, I'd most likely tell him or her that it's my brother, Chris. My brother is one of the most 1 people in my life. I may not always act like it, but I 2 him and respect him. It's hard to think of everything he's done for me and not 3 him. There's the basic 4 that most older brothers do. You know, baby-sit you, 5 you with your homework, and let you use their stuff. But my brother did a lot more for me. He was the one who taught me how to read and how to tie my shoes. He taught me how to hold my 6 underwater.
He even taught me how not to touch his things. He also did other typical big brother stuff. Like shut me in the closet（储藏室）, play tricks on me, "forbid（禁止）" me to 7 his stuff. But for each "mean" thing he did to me, he did about five 8 things. One nice thing he did was that he always let me hang around with him and his friends. Because of that I actually have two brothers instead of one. My other "brother" is Chris's best friend, Corey. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger, and since Chris was nice, I 9 got to do stuff with them. Since Corey was as much my brother as Chris was, of course they both pulled little 10 on me. But I must admit a lot of the tricks 11 because I was a slightly gullible（易受骗的）child. One that 12 comes to mind is when Chris and Corey 13 to convince me that they were being sucked（吸入）into the ground.
I was so 14 that I went inside and told Mum that they were, being sucked down. As I said, I was a slightly gullible child. Yes. We had some 15 times.
