When I was a little boy, I used to be very quiet and didn't have any friend. At that time my parents were very1with their work. I lived with my grandparents in another city. I always thought that2cared about me. Everything changed when I was thirteen years old. A boy gave me a special3a smile.
It was my4year in the middle school. Everything there was new to me. No one knew who I was. I didn't know them, either. I was too shy to5anyone. Of course I was very lonely. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt hurt. I had no friend to talk about my problems. I didn't want my parents to6me.
Then one day, my classmates were talking7with their friends, and I sat at my desk lonely and unhappy as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn't know8name. He passed me and,9a word, gave me a friendly smile. I said "Hello" to him. It was the first time that I greeted my10.
This smile brought me to another world, a warm, bright and friendly world. That smile11my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends with them. Day by day I became12to everyone in my class. The boy with the most wonderful smile became my best friend.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he didn't remember that. It didn't matter13all the dark days had gone. I made14progress in my study. I felt my parents' love and began to talk with them. You can imagine how happy they were. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is.15you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. Therefore, smile at the world and it will smile back.
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 street light or 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(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the dark 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(敌人)" 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 on 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(过程) of 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.
