　 Learning experiences happen 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 85mph 　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 (收银员). 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 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 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 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 … …”

　 I have learned two things from this 　51　 . Maybe I was a fool for 　52 　in to my conscience, and being too stupid to enjoy 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.
