Mary’s parents are different from the average. While she was growing up they required her to 21. First of all she had to work around their home. Later on Mary worked for other people.
When Mary was 14 years old, her mother and father told her that they were no 22 going to buy her clothes.

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.

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 38 with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had 39 thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.

“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 28 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 29 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 30 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 31 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively 32 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 33 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 34 .”

Okay, you are in the classroom, you’ve got the proper attitude, your instructor seems eager and energetic and you’re ready to learn. Your instructor starts 21 . You listen to the first few words and then begin to take notes. Copious notes. At the end of 45 minutes you have literally rewritten the 22 . Your hand is sweaty from the constant writing and you’ve filled up seven pages of your notebook. But one thing is 23 . You forgot to listen to the lecture.
This is a 24 problem in all classes. You are so afraid that you might miss something “important” that your tendency is to write 25 down. We all do because we have all committed this 26 at one time or another. I realize it’s easy for me to say this, but it is much better to listen to the lecture carefully and 27 only those things that were genuinely important.
It goes without saying that your notes should be written readably. I wouldn’t suggest rewriting your 28 after every class but sometimes this will help you understand and recollect the material better. Organize your notes into brief 29 . Use arrows, stars, asterisks and other notational devices to highlight things that seem really important. As a rule, if there is anything you don’t understand, bring it up during the next class period. If not, you will be doing yourself, and everyone 30 in the class, a great injustice.
21. A. speaking B. saying C. talking D. discussing
22. A. speech B. lecture C. lesson D. class
23. A. missing B. going C. losing D. leaving
24. A. average B. ordinary C. common D. usual
25. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything
26. A. behavior B. action C. fault D. error
27. A. record B. notice C. memorize D. keep
