My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed (移民入境檢查) at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria (自助餐廳) in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

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.
【小題1】The author had _______ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A．one B．two C．three D．none
【小題2】_______ would scare the author at night.
A．Streetlight and car lights B．Wild animals and enemies
C．Moving curtains and wind D．Clothes and walls
【小題3】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
【小題4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
A．She thought being popular among people was important.
B．She was always the leader of the others.
C．She always got poor grades.
D．She was not liked by others at all.

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.
