As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears(恐惧) 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 let the leaders out of my 15 .

  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 recognize and overcome(克服)our 20 . Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.
