lost.These fears were very real andcaused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scaredme so much.There was never complete darkness,but always a streetlight or passingcar lights,which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal.Out of thecorner of my eye,I saw the curtains(窗 帘)seem to move when there was no wind.A very low soundin the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day.My imagination(想象)would runwild,and my heart would beat fast.I would lie very still so that the enemy(敌人)would notdiscover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost,especially on the way home fromschool.Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home.That was no problem.Afterschool,though,when all the buses were lined up along the street,I was afraid that I would get in thewrong one and be taken to some other strange places.On school or family trips to a park or amuseum,1 wouldnt 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 byothers.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)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.()11.The author had kind($)of fears when she was a child.A.one B.two C.three D.none()12.would scare the author at night.A.Streetlight and car limits B.Wild
