“Well,” I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things 40 and we just don't seem to find the time.”

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(吞噬) 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.

This reflects the saying “A coward (儒夫) 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.
