But sometimes fear can be so ____1____, so unbearable, that it influences on normal living. That is what happened to me driving cross-country last summer. Id agreed to help my brother, Mac, move to California. He would drive a rental ____2____ and I would follow him in his car. We figured it would be a ____3____ trip, with only four or five motel stops along the way. Living and working in Georgia for most of my life, I did not have a great deal of long-distance ____4____ experience. Looking back on it today, I can see that Id always felt quite ____5____ when driving over small bridges and along hilly highways. And as I was getting ready for the trip I had a vague ____6____ about the steep mountain roads that lay ahead. But I thought I would get used to them. At the first night, I mentioned my feelings to Mac, who is the practical sort. Oh, thats nothing, he said ____7____ . Lots of people hate driving on mountain roads and high bridges. Just turn up the ____8____ on your radio and focus on that. Keep your mind ____9____. I gave him a weak smile , but I couldnt drive away the ___10___ I had about the high driving ahead. The more I tried not to think about it, the more my mind kept going back to that ___11___ feeling of panic I had at the beginning of the journey. If I could just close my eyes and ___12___, I thought, a good nights sleep would drive the fear away. I kept closing the gap between my car and my brothers truck, moving ___13___ behind him like a frightened sheep following a shepherd(牧羊人). I could see Mac watching me in his rearview mirror , and that night at supper, he said, Leigh, you should keep ___14___ distance. Youre much too close for these mountain roads. He ___15___ my face for a moment, then added, Tomorrow will be the last day of high driving. You know theres nothing to be afraid of. 1.
