Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives. Not long ago I had one that I would like to   36  .

I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph   37  we realized we were   38  . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $ 20 bill. I was so   39  because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on  40  seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.  41  I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   42  I had not actually handed any money to the cashier . I had just  43  out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.

My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn't   44  over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and  45  for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I  46  to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in   47  that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change   48  the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?”I was not so  49  of my cash now.

For the next two years, whenever I was  50  of the “Pizza incident”, I would say to myself “Don't think about it any more”.

I have learned two things from this   51  . Maybe I was a fool for   52  in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a  53  pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   54  up with you.

This reflects the saying “A coward 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  “55” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

The artist Grandma Moses became famous for her simple, bright, cheerful paintings of American farm life.Her full name was Anna Mary Robertson Moses.But she was known to everyone as Grandma Moses because she did not begin to paint seriously until in her seventies.

Born on a farm in New York, Anna had little schooling.Her days were filled with farm chores.But she often found time to make pictures.Soon, however, she became too busy to draw or paint.At the age of 12, she went to work as a servant for a family nearby.She worked for other people for many years.Then, when she was 27, she married Thomas Moses, a farmer.And they began raising a family of their own.

Anna Moses could no longer do heavy farm work with age.Then, in her seventies, she began to paint in oils.Her pictures showed things she recalled from childhood-farm scenes, ice-skating, bringing home the Christmas tree.Later, she began to display her art at county fairs.Her pictures recorded a way of life that was quickly passing away.People everywhere loved these happy scenes, and soon her paintings were shown in art galleries.Grandma Moses became famous partially on account of her age, but mainly because her approach to art was modest and simple compared to many other painters of her time.Without formal training or even knowledge of Modernism, she relied on her own simple techniques to create her landscapes and scenes.She continued to paint almost until her death, on December 13, 1961 , at the age of 101.

The themes in her paintings provided the comfort of a rural life that many busy Americans treasured from their past.The threat of nuclear arms that appeared on television screens and in magazines had Americans starving for something more.Grandma Moses' art appealed to those who had lost hope for the future.Her classic paintings still appear on TV commercials, greeting cards, and magazine and book covers.

1.What can be inferred from the fact that Grandma Moses picked up a paintbrush?

A.She had no other ways to kill time.  

B.Her friend and family suggested it.

C.She had had a love for painting since her childhood.

D.She needed to make a living by selling her paintings.

2.The key reason for her success is ___   .

A.her old age           B.her plain style

C.her lack of training     D.her modern knowledge

3.We can know from the passage that ______.
