题目列表(包括答案和解析)
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.

Weddings in America
Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. Today, the rings symbolize the couple's commitment to one another.
After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. After the ceremony, there is often a party, where people may enjoy plentiful food.
And a wedding cake sits in a corner waiting to be cut. Soon thereafter, the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her bouquet of flowers to the assembled unmarried women at the reception. It is said that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly attempt to catch the bouquet, others shy away.
And then it is time for the bride and groom to set off. The tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the wedding. The trip nowadays varies considerably dictated by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel, sometimes they will spend two weeks at a remote vacation-spot.
