As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange
26 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that
27 me so much. There was never total
28 , but a streetlight or passing car lights
29 clothes hung over a chair take on(呈现) the
30 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my
31 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no
32 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My
33 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would
34 very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,
35 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home .That was no
36 . After school,
37 , when all the buses were
38 up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some
39 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my
40 .
Perhaps one of the worst fears
41 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or
42 by others. Being popular was so important to me
43 , and the fear of not being liked was a
44 one.
One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to
45 and overcome(克服) our fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
