完形填空。
Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to
1 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph
2 we realized we were
3 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so
4 because
I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on
5 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into
the pizza line.
6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I
7 I
had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just
8 out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn't
9 over it. I just could
n't go back to the cashier and
10 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
11 to give myself the pleasure of
an ice-cream for
12 that someone would say, "Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change
13 the pizza instead
of that nice, new $20 bill?" I was not so
14 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was
15 of the "pizza incident", I would say to myself, "Don't think
about it..."
I have learned two things from this
16 . Maybe I was a fool for
17 in to my conscience, and being too
stupid to appreciate a
18 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done,
your conscience
19 up with you.
This reflect the saying, "A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one." I was a coward and
have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a "
20 " and gone back to pay for
the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
