完型填空
Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I
would like to 16 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the
highway at 85mph 17 we realized we were 18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I
had a brand new $$20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before.
But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I
22 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 23 out, and nobody
had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 24
over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 25 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset
that I 26 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 27 that someone would say,
“ Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 28 the pizza instead of that nice, new $$20
bill?” I was not so 29 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 30 of the “pizza incident”, I would say to
myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this 31 . Maybe I was fool for 32 in to my
conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 33 pizza. But the real lesson is that even
if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 34 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “ A coward 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
“ 35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it
only once, or maybe twice.

Imagine this: You're sitting in a London café with an English friend. He turns to you and
asks if you think that “bird over there is a bunny boiler”. Would you: A) look blank and tell
him rabbits can't fly; B) curse the day you ever started studying the terrible English language;
or C) give your opinion of whether that girl over there is crazy or not?
Teachers and students often talk about the “plateau(高原)” of language learning. The
metaphor sees every word learned as a step on the journey towards fluency. When you've
reached a certain high level, you stop improving and hit the “plateau”. Thousands of English
language learners have wandered around for years on this flat, boring plateau. However, few
have come up with ideas about how to get off it. If you answered A or B to the above situation
then my solution may come as a surprise: You need slang(俚语) to lift you up and away.
Of course textbooks won't recommend this route. Slang is too fast-changing to be recorded
in them. And slang's also a dirty word to some teachers, who only like polite English. But
English is not only an old- fashioned, polite language, it is also changing quickly. At the end of
2005, two fat new dictionaries—“The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional
English” and “Cassell's Dictionary of Slang” hit the bookshops. Ignoring English's slang is like
travelling to a new country and only visiting places recommended in a 10-year-old guidebook.
Boring. So where can you get a fix?
New books are good slanguage (slang-language) sources. If you're tired of reading, buy a
CD. Musicians and rappers like the UK's Artic Monkey and The Streets and the US' Kelis and
Eminem are slang sensations (引起轰动的人), constantly playing tricks with the Queen's
English.
As the Austrian- British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, the limits of your language
are the limits of your world. So why not widen your horizons with a little properly used
slanguage? From there it's just a short step to pushing yourself and your friends off the plateau
on all-new adventures.
