   I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high-way at    33   we realized we were hungry. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so    34  because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on food seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.    35    I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I    36    I had not handed any money to the cashier (收银员). I had just walked out, and 37    had noticed. I felt terrible.

   My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed (吞) me in one big bite. I couldn’t    38    over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and pay for my stolen pizza. I was so upset (不安的) that I    39    to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for    40    that someone would say, “Hey.

   This goes with the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one,” I was a coward and have felt terrible    44    that at least a thousand times. If I had been a “hero” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
