中考英语完型填空练习题及答案解析（二）

　　Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to  1  .
　　
　　I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph  2  we realized we were  3  . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so  4  because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 5  seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.  6       I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I  7  I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just  8  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  9  over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and  10  for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I  11  to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in  12  that someone would say, “Hey. Jeff, why don’t you use the change  13  the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so  14  of my cash now.
　　
　　For the next two years, whenever I was  15  of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
　　
　　I have learned two things from this  16  . Maybe I was a fool for  17  in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a  18  pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will  19  up with you.
　　
　　This reflects 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 “  20  ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
