The inner life is often 1 Its egoism (以自我为中心) blinds it and 2 it ;its imagination makes up ignorant tales , fascinated .
When I was five ,I would not go to bed 3 because something came into my room ,My sister ,Amy two years old ,was asleep in the other bed .What did she know ? She was 4 of evil ,There was no messiness in her ,only a charming innocence that seemed then to 5 her ,Since Amy was asleep 6 ,and since when I needed someone most I was afraid to wake her ,she was useless .
I lay alone and was almost asleep 7 the thing entered the room by flattening itself 8 the open door and sliding in ,It was a transparent ,glowing four-sided figure ,I could see the door 9 at its touch ; I could see the blue wall turn pale 10 it raced over it ,and see the maple headboard ,of Amy’s bed 11 ,It was a swift 12 ; it was an awareness ,It made 13 ,It had two joined parts ,a head and a tail. It found the door ,wall, and headboard ;and it hit them , 14 them with its glowing glance ,I dared not blink (眨眼)or 15 .
Every night 16 it got to me ,it gave up ,It hit my wall’s corner and couldn’t 17 ,It shrank ,completely into itself and vanished ,I heard the rising roar it made when it died or left ,I still couldn’t breathe ,I knew that it could 18 again alive that same night .
Sometimes it came back ,sometimes it didn’t ,The light stripe slipped in the door ,ran searching over Amy’s wall ,stopped ,stretched at the first corner ,raced whistling toward my wall .
People who want ore economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present and 19 into the second corner with a cry ,So I wouldn’t go to bed .
It was a passing car whose windshield (挡风玻璃) 20 the corner streetlight outside ,I figured it out one night .
