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.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. A recent research shows people tend to tell more lies in phone conversations than they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded and can come back to haunt you appears to be the key to the finding.
Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 of phone calls.
His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment（非直接接触）of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to be more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.
But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. “People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account,” he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.
“People are also more likely to lie in real time in an instant message or phone call than if they have time to think of a response,” say Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous responses to an unexpected demand, such as, “Do you like my dress?”
Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.
Hancock’s study focuses on ______.
A. the consequences of lying in various communications media
B. the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas
C. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
D. people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media
Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that ______.
A. people are less likely to lie in instant messages
B. people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions
C. people are most likely to lie in email communication
D. people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations
According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?
A. They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.
B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.
C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.
D. They are most practiced at those forms of communication.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications
B. more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees
C. suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes
D. email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company
