问题                 Childhood Fears
    I remember my childhood as being generally happy and can recall experiencing some of the most carefree times of my life. But I can also remember, even more vividly, moments of being deeply frightened. As a child, I was truly terrified of the dark, of getting lost, and of not being liked by others. These fears were very real and caused me some extremely uncomfortable moments.
    Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that scared me so much. There was never total darkness, but a streetlight or passing car lights made clothes hung over a chair take on the shape of an unknown beast. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the curtains seemed to move when there was no breeze. A tiny crack in the floor would sound a hundred times louder than in the daylight, and my imagination would take over, creating burglars and monsters. Darkness always made me feel so helpless, too. My heart would pound, and I would lie very still so that the "enemy" wouldn’t discover me.
    ____________________________________________________________________
    Perhaps one of the worst fears I had as a child was that of not being liked by others. First of all, I was quite shy. Second, I worried constantly about my looks, thinking people wouldn’t like me because I was too fat or wore braces. I tried to wear the "right" clothes and even had intense arguments with my mother over the importance of wearing the "flats" instead of saddle shoes to school. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a powerful one.
    One of the processes of evolving from a child to an adult is being able to recognize and outgrow our fears. I’ve learned that darkness does not have to take on a life of its own, that others can help me when I’m lost, and that friendliness and sincerity will encourage people to like me. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us to cope with our lives as adults.
选项
答案 Another fear in my childhood was that I would get lost. When all the buses were lined up along the curb, I was terrified that I’d get on the wrong one. I would scan the bus for the faces of my friends, make sure the bus driver was the same one that had been there in the morning, and even then ask the others over and over again to be sure I was on the right bus. On school or family trips I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight. And of course, I was never very adventurous when it came to taking walks or hikes, because I would go only where I was sure I could never get lost.
解析     这是一篇关于作者回忆小时候害怕的事情的说明性文章。文章要求补充第三段。首先让我们来分析一下文章的各个段落和它们之间的联系。
    第一段：主要写到作者认为自己的童年是快乐的，他清楚地记得小时候无忧无虑的生活。但同时也记得一些很让他害怕的时刻。作为一个小孩，作者害怕黑，怕迷路，怕不被别人喜欢。这些害怕很真实，让作者觉得很不舒服。其中本段倒数第二句为文章中心思想中的关键词。
    (1)the most carefree times of my life我生命中最无忧无虑的时光
    (2)be terrified of害怕……
    I was truly terrified of the dark，of getting lost and not being liked by others．
    我很害怕黑，怕迷路，怕不被别人喜欢。
    第二段：是主体段一，主要写道，也许是我卧室里熟悉的东西在夜里看起来或听起来很奇怪，因此让我害怕。其实没有完全的黑暗，但是路灯或者是路过的车灯让挂在椅子上的衣服呈现出怪兽的形状。用眼角的余光，我能看到好像当没有风的时候，窗帘还会摆动。地板上很小的声音听上去像是白天的上百倍，这时我的想象就会占了上风，想象他是夜贼或怪兽。黑暗总是让我觉得很无助，我的心怦怦地跳，我就这样静静地死去，这样，“敌人”就不会轻易地发现我了。这一段与关键词中的害怕黑暗紧密相关。
    (1)the corner of my eye眼睛的余光
    Out of the corner of my eye，I saw that the curtains seemed to move when there was no breeze．
    用眼角的余光，我看到窗帘在摆动，即使在没有风的时候。
    (2)take over接管，取得主导地位
    My imagination would take over，creating burglars and monsters．我的想象就占据了主导地位，认为那是夜贼或怪兽。
    第四段：是主体段三，主要写，我认为最害怕的是不被别人喜欢。首先，我很害羞，其次，我常常担心自己的长相，认为别人会不喜欢我，因为我太胖或戴着牙齿矫正器。我尽量穿别人认为“正确”的衣服，并有时因穿衣服和妈妈吵架。那时候，受欢迎对我来说太重要了，最害怕的就是别人不喜欢我。这一段与关键词中的害怕不被别人喜欢相联系。
    第五段：是结论段，应用的是归纳主要观点的方法，即：对三个主体段中的主要观点进行归纳。主要写，从孩子成为大人的一个步骤就是不再害怕童年曾经害怕的东西。黑暗是生活的一部分，当迷路的时候可以向别人求助，友好和亲切可以使别人喜欢我们。明白那些童年时曾经让我们害怕的东西有助于更好地解决成人的事情。
    (1)evolve from逐渐发展
    One of the processes of evolving from a child to an adult is being able to recognize and outgrow our fears．
    从孩子逐渐成为大人的一步就是不再害怕童年曾经害怕的东西。
    (2)cope with解决
    Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us to cope with our lives as adults．
    明白那些童年时曾经让我们害怕的东西有助于更好地解决成人的事情。通过上文的分析，第一段中提到了三种害怕的东西，第二段讲的是害怕黑暗，第四段讲的是害怕不被别人喜欢，由此可见，第三段缺省的主题是害怕迷路，所以第三段应该补充的是害怕迷路。作为一个小孩，很可能是在上学、放学的路上发生这种事，所以可以就这个事件进行详细地描写。例如害怕迷路时的心情和表现，以及为了避免迷路所做出的行为。
    下面我们来看一下句子的组织：
    (1)当所有的公共汽车都停在路边的时候，我特别担心我上错车。
    When all the buses were lined up along the curb，I was terrified that I’d get on the wrong one．
    (2)我会仔细地看公交车，是否里面有我同学熟悉的面孔，看司机是不是和早上的是同一个人，甚至还会一次又一次地问别人以保证我没上错车。
    I would scan the bus for the faces of my friends，make sure the bus driver was the same one that had been there in the morning，and even then ask the others over and over again to be sure I was on the right bus．
    (3)out of my sight
    离开我的视线在去学校或回家的路上，我不会让领队离开我的视线。
    On school or family trips I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight．
