Do you have any childhood fears? The writer of this passage will describe what he felt in her childhood.

  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  1  things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that  2  me so much.There was never total  3  , but a streetlight or passing car lights  4  clothes hung over a chair take on the  5  of a wild animal.Out of the corner of my  6 ., I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no  7  .A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight.My  8  would run wild, and my heart would beat fast.I would  9  very still so that the enemy would not discover me.

  Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,  10  on the way home from school.Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home ?that was no  11  After school,  12  , when all the buses were  13  up along the street, I was afraid that I'd get on the wrong one and be taken to some  14  neighborhood.On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't  15  the leaders out of my sight.

  Perhaps one of the worst fears  16  all I had as a child was that of not being liked or  17  by others.Being popular was so important to me  18  , and the fear of not being liked was a  19  one.

  One of the processes (过程) of growing up is being able to  20  and overcome our fears.Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
