Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__. I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just __23__ 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 __24__ over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and __25__ for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I __26__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __27__ that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why not you use the change __28__ the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so __29__ of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was __30__ of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…” I have learned two things from this __31__. Maybe I was a fool for __32__ in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a __33__ pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away with what you have done, your conscience will __34__ up with you. This reflects the saying, “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 “__35__” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only one, or maybe twice. 小题1: A．say B．talk C．share D．explain 小题2: A．as B．while C．then D．when 小题3: A．lost B．tired C．hungry D．angry 小题4: A．excited B．eager C．glad D．anxious 小题5: A．rest B．food C．travel D．drink 小题6: A．Luckily B．Finally C．Immediately D．Actually 小题7: A．thought B．recognized C．noticed D．realized 小题8: A．walked B．left C．worked D．found 小题9: A．look B．get C．turn D．think 小题10: A．ask B．pay C．apologize D．send 小题11: A．refused B．wanted C．hoped D．meant 小题12: A．hope B．surprise C．anger D．fear 小题13: A．into B．with C．for D．from 小题14: A．sure B．upset C．proud D．pleased 小题15: A．warned B．reminded C．thought D．told 小题16: A．experience B．experiment C．story D．talking 小题17: A．turning B．talking C．handing D．giving 小题18: A．free B．cheap C．plain D．delicious 小题19: A．make B．wake C．catch D．put 小题20: A．coward B．fool C．loser D．hero
