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 (使惊恐) 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 (窗帘) 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 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 (过程) about 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.
1._____________________would scare the writer at night.
A. Streetlight and car lights
B. Wild animals and enemies
C. Moving curtains and wind
D. Strange sights and sounds
2.When she went to some other places, she would ______________________.
A. walk away without others
B. take a bus by herself
C. follow others closely
D. make sure not to take a wrong bus
3.The underlined word "overcome" means "_________" in Chinese.
A. 接受 B. 忍受 C. 信服 D. 克服
4.Which of the following statements would be possibly TRUE when she was a child?
A. She thought being popular among people was important.

He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes , he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.

An old man was fishing on the bank of a river.A child came to see him fishing.The old man was really good at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish.The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish.But the child shook her head.The old man was surprised and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?”
The child answered, “I want the fishing rod(竿) in your hands.”

“It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket.But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”
