In my life experience, I found out on time that doing a favor for someone could get you into lots of trouble．I was in the eighth grade at that time, and we were having a 　　1　　 test．During the test, the girl sitting next to me 　　2　　 something but I didn’t understand．So I leaned over her way 　　3　　 found out she was trying to ask me if I had 　　4　　 pen．She showed me that hers was out of 　　5　　．I happened to have 　　6　　, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．Later after the test papers had been 　　7　　, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed(打发，解散)．As soon as we were 　　8　　 she began to talk to me about what it meant to 　　9　　 up．She mentioned how 　　10　　 it was to stand on our own two 　　11　　 and be responsible for(对……负责)your own 　　12　　．She also talked about 　　13　　 and made me promise that I would think 　　14　　 about all that she has said, and then she told me I 　　15　　 leave．I walked out of the room 　　16　　 why she had chosen to talk to me all those things．After some time I found that she still thought I had 　　17　　 on the test．When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl, it looked as if I was coping answers from her papers．I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed 　　18　　 to her that I had not mentioned 　　19　　 about the pen the day she talked to me after the test．I am sure she 　　20　　 believed that I had cheated．How I was misunderstood!

　　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．

　　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．
