Learning experiences happen to
us throughout out 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(崭新的)$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(良心) opened
its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 44
over it. I just couldn’t to 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 for 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 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..."
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(反映)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" 55 "and gone back to pay for the
pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe
twice.
