     It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of
a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock   1   in a canyon (峡谷). "That's
what I'm going to do next   2  ," I said. Suzanne laughed. "Sure, Mum! Don't forget you're 65 years old!"
     I didn't feel I was that age! I   3   a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy   4   and,
along with it, my confidence (信心). Then Suzanne pointed out, "Ws good, but how can you clear away
the   5   of height?" "I've got it all worked out," I replied bravely. "We're going to the indoor climbing centre."
     While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some
time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down   6   on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged
myself, "You had climbed the wall! You will certainly make it!"
     We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge
black hole-far   7   than I had imagined. As the guide clipped (夹住) me onto the rope, my heart   8   double-time
and I wondered why I had got myself into this. Time lost all meaning   9   I pushed my body forward. Only
the strong rope kept me from  10  hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. "This
is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps," the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later,
we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another.
     Getting onto the bus, I  11  into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before. Then, while I was in the
seat catching my breath, a feeling of great happiness spread  12  me. I had done it, at 66 years of age.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

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

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