第二节: 完形填空 (满分20分)
Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to   41   with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph   42   we realized we were   43   . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so   44   because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   45   seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46   , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   47   I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just  48   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   49   over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and   50   for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51   to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for   52   that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change   53   the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so    54   of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was   55   of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this   56   . Maybe I was a fool for   57    in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a   58   pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will   59   up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a   60   and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
