Do you have any childhood fears? The writer of this passage will describe what he felt in her childhood．

　　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．

　　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 　15　 the leaders out of my sight．

　　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．

The boy looked at me closely. Then he took　　12　　piece of my chocolate. I could　　13　　believe it. Still I didn't dare to　　14　　an argument. When he took a third piece, I felt more　　15　　than uneasy. I thought,“Well, I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.

That was embarrassing (令人难堪的) enough, but it was　　18　　when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went redas red as　　19　 when I realized I'd made a mistake. It wasn't my chocolate that he had been taking. There was mine, unopened, just　　20　　my newspaper.
