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 (崭新的)$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 halfway 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 couldn’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 yo u use the change __13__ the pizza instead of that nice,new $20
bill?” I was not __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 will __19__ up with you.
This reflects 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.
