    　　Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway．It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home．I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus．Not knowing the routes, I thought I'd just head east．A bus pulled up(减速停车), and I asked the driver how far she was going．“Four more traffic lights, ” she said．There was another bus I could take from there．This clearly was going to be a long night．She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for．After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home．Then a bus pulled up．There was no lighted number above its　windshield(挡风玻璃)．It was out of service．But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver．“I just can't leave you here, ” she said．“This isn't the nicest place．I'll give you a ride home．” “You'll drive me home in the bus? ” I asked in surprise．“No, I'll take you in my car, ” she said．“It's a long way, ” I refused．“Come on, ” She said．“I have nothing else to do．”

    　　As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story．A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas(汽油)．A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car．“I'm just passing the favor(善意的行为)along, ” she said．When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't hear of it．“That wouldn't make it a favor, ” She said．“Just do something nice for somebody．Pass it along．”

    阅读理解。
         Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives, and not too long ago, I had one that I would like
    to share.
         This story began with a sailing trip. It's a story of pizza (比萨), sailing and being afraid of buying
    ice-cream with a US $20 bill.
         I was going to Marblehead, Massachusetts, with my Optimist (a sailboat) racing team for the New
    England Optimist Championship.
         The team was racing down the highway at 85mph (miles per hour) when we all realized we were hungry.
         Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I was very excited, because I had a new US $20 bill. I was so excited
    because I had never had that kind of money before. I had money I had saved, but spending it on food seemed
    like throwing it away.
         We all rushed into the pizza line. Finally I got a cheese pizza and drink, and walked to my table.
         About halfway through the meal, I realized I had not actually handed my money to the cashier (收银员). I
    had just walked out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
         My conscience (良知) opened its mouth and swallowed me. I couldn't get over it. I just couldn't go back
    to the cashier and pay for my stolen, half-eaten pizza. I would be more embarrassed than I ever had been.
          I was so sorry that I refused to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream in fear that someone would say,
    "Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change from the pizza instead of that nice, new US $20 bill?" I was not so
    proud of my money now.
         For the next two years, whenever I was reminded of (thought of) the "Pizza incident," I closed my eyes
    and said to myself, "Don't think about it. Don't think about it." I have learned two things from this experience.
    Maybe I was an unwise person for giving in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a free pizza.
    But I think the real lesson is that if you let being embarrassed get in the way of doing the right thing, then your
    conscience will catch up with you.
         I think 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 "hero" and gone back up to
    pay for the pizza, then I would have felt a little embarrassed about it only once, or maybe twice.
    1. Why didn't the boy buy ice-cream?
    A. He wanted to save the money.
    B. He didn't want to eat ice-cream then.
    C. He didn't have enough money for it.
    D. He was afraid that someone would find out the fact.
    2._________ pay for the pizza with his money at first.
    A. In order to keep the bill, he didn't
    B. He completely forgot to
    C. His teammates told him not to
    D. The cashier didn't ask him to
    3. The underlined word "embarrassed" in the passage means _________.
    A. happy and comfortable
    B. disturbed and silly
    C. uneasy and uncomfortable
    D. sad and angry
    4. Why did the writer think of the saying "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one"?
    A. He used to be a coward then but is not now.
    B. He had a long terrible time for his stolen pizza.
    C. He would have been a hero if he had paid for the pizza.
    D. He wanted to die once like a hero.
