Since the moment of his birth, I've been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life changed. All of a sudden, I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.Finally, I hated this small boy. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house who did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me alone.Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, but I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Then I found myself in my brother's room. I couldn't help reaching my hand through the bars(栏杆) of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.To this day, I can't imagine life without my brother.

This is what happened to Spain's Matrera Castle(城堡). The castle was built in the 9th century and has interested thousands of visitors every year. But part of it broke after a heavy rain, so the castle needed a big repair. However, the result didn't turn out well. The castle became a totally modern building!“The building has nothing to do with what it used to be, or even with a medieval(中世纪的)castle,” criticized(批评) the Spanish cultural heri­tage group(文化遗产组织) Hispania Nostra. People across the world have been laughing about it online too. “How terrible!” “They've got builders rather than repairers.” “No words are needed when you see the pictures.”The leader of the repair said that he wanted to make sure the building stayed standing. Facing the criticism, he also added, “Opinions are always welcome.”根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
