My

conscience

(

良心

) opened its mouth and swallowed 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. I was so upset

that I 46 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for

47 th

at someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use

the change 48 the pizza instead of that nice, new $$ 20

bill” I was not so

49 of my cash now.

For

the

next

two

years,

whenever

I

was 50

of

the

“pizza

incident”,

I

would

say

to

myself,

“Don’t

think

about

it … …”

I

have

learned

two

things

from

this 51 .

Maybe

I

was

a

fool

for 52 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to enjoy

a 53 pizza.

you.

reflects

(

coward

(

thousand

deaths,

a

hero

dies

one.”

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

for

the

pizza,

I

would

have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe

along

a

modern

convenience: the iPad.

Instead of looking at nature, I 31 my e-mail. Instead of

paddling

an

old

boat,

I

32

my

Twitter

feed.

Instead

of

reading

great

novels,

I

stuck

to

reading

four

33

each

morning.

This

experience

has

had

a 42 ending

—

for

now,

at

least.

With

determination and the strong support of my wife, I succeeded

in my vacation struggle 43 the Internet. I 44 realized

that it was me, of course, not the iPad, that was the problem.

I

knew

I

had 45 when

we passed

a

Starbucks

and

my

wife

asked

if

I

wanted

to

stop

to

use

the

Wi-

Fi.

“Don’t

need

it,”

I
