Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to   36  .

I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph   37   we realized we were   38   . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so   39    because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on   40   seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.  41   I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I   42   I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just   43   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   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 in   57   that 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 appreciate a   53   pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will  54   up with you.

This reflects the saying, “A coward（懦夫） dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies once.” I 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 pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Each year, prizes are presented to adults who make great achievements in art, writing, science, and economics. So why not give awards to kids?

Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed（給……起綽號）the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.

“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”

Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.

One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps（水泵）.

Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”

I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”

The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us     .

A. the origin of the Nobe1 Prize

B. the achievements Harry and his wife made

C. how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started

D. how Harry and his wife helped kids

The World of Children presents awards to those who    .

A. help the kids in the U.S             B. realize the importance of education

C. raise a lot of money for the poor    D. do a lot to help kids in need

Which of the following is TRUE about Talia?

A. She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa.

B. She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans.

C. She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia.

D. She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana.

What advice is given by Talia to those who want to help kids in need?

A. To ask for an idea from adults.           B. To set a higher goal at first.

C. To win help from adults.                  D. To make an idea become popular.
