I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost when I was a child. These fears were very real and often caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Perhaps it was the strange _36_ things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that _37_ me so much. There was never complete _38_, but a streetlight or passing car lights _39_ clothes hung over a chair take on the _40_ of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my _41_, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no _42_. A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My _43_ would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would _44_ very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, _45_ on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no 46_. After school, _47_, when all the buses were _48_ up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get in the wrong one and be taken to some _49_ neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t _50_ the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears _51_ all I had as a child was that of not being liked or _52_ by others. Being popular was so important to me _53_, and the fear of not being liked was a _54_ one.

One of the processes(过程)of growing up is being able to _55_ and overcome our

fears. Understanding the things that frightened us as children help us achieve greater success later in life.

“The World Loves me,” she replied. “I always sing this song when I’m 50 .”

Everyone in the room was 51 . How could this little girl who had 52 so much be so happy?

Many times since that day, when feeling stressed, unhappy or dissatisfied with 53 , I would think of Mary and feel inspired. Her 54 made me see that happiness is a wonderful gift-----free to anyone who will 55 it.
