         The weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink
    may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for
    your health.
         There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names.
    The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!
         But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine (咖啡因) in them.
    These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes
    say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.
         Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited (限
    制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health
    dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have
    difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from
    taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.

         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 (窗
    帘) 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(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 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 (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.

    1. The author had _____ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
    A. one
    B. two
    C. three
    D. none
    2. _____ would scare the author at night.
    A. Streetlight and car lights
    B. Wild animals and enemies
    C. Moving curtains and wind
    D. Strange sights and sounds
    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
    4. Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child?
    A. She was usually popular among people.
    B. She was always the leader of the others.
    C. She always' got poor grades.
    D. She was not at all liked by others.
    5. The underlined word "overcome" means "_____" in Chinese.
    A. 接受
    B. 忍受
    C. 信服
    D. 克服
