Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to          .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph         we realized we were        . luckily, we saw a rest area ahead, I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so        because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on         seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.        I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I        I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just         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         over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and      for my stolen pizza.—-I was so upset that I           to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in        that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change        the pizza instead of that nice , new $20 bill? I was so          of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was           of  the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this           . maybe I was a fool for        in to my conscience , and being too stupid to appreciate a         pizza.But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will        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 accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “       ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of       .
“Do you know       you and I are?” she asked.       I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman        desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated,       how to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an)      .” “We don’t        ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.
I forgot all about her story        one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.
“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What        me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an)       in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen       in mid-air. She looked up        she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your        ?” Coolly, I heard myself        , “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have        credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the        are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of        in the clerk’s voice as she        in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was      by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.
I felt successful. Motherhood...what a great        !.

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was      by a nice frence couple who would become my host parents.

The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a      this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑) to      my native language, I asked not to be      with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I      myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, who I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the      .
I left France with many      , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always       to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends      France we enjoyed together. I love how peole        seem so different, but end up being so        . The most valuabe lesson I gain from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people        to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,         becomes unhappy. This         from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy         their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the         things. They are,        , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and         themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up         by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown         its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are         its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and         them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious         in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most         politeness and respect. This         puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining         advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step         speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will         or excuse them, and many         join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,         worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,         will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,         when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
