Charles and I used to hang out all the time, together with a few other guys, but he seemed too cool for us lately. We couldn’t understand the   36  _, and we didn’t ask him for an explanation.   37   , we decided to   38    him a lesson in the way he treated us.

Once we started giving Charles the   39    shoulder, almost everybody was taking no notice of him. He looked so   40   , especially at lunchtime when he sat alone in the cafeteria (自助餐廳). Now and then he nodded and said, “Hey!” when   41   passed his table, but all he got   42   return were mean looks and silence.

At first I was glad my plan had   43   , but Charles’ unhappiness made me upset. I only wanted him to know   44   it felt like to be blown off, but I hadn’t thought about how badly my “l(fā)esson” would   45   him.

During one lunch period, I   46   as Charles repeatedly glanced at his watch, obviously   47   the minutes until he could leave the cafeteria. I suddenly realized I had done wrong.

 “Hey! Man. I’m terribly sorry.” I called out.

Charles turned around   48  , clearly wanting to avoid eye contact.

 “Oh, so you are talking to me now?” he asked.

 “I’m so sorry,   49   I had thought that you wanted to end our friendship.” I said.

“What?” he nearly shouted, looking much   50  . “I’ve left you alone because I thought that was what you wanted.”

“Oh, my God! Why would I want   51  ?” I shouted , completely puzzled.

Clearly, we both had been   52    each other wrong.

At first Charles couldn’t accept my   53  . I knew he needed time to   54   all the hurt I’d caused him. But eventually, he did forgive me. We even started hanging out together   55  . And our friendship wasn’t destroyed at all.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must   1sixty hours of service learning,   2they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.    3of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.    4a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a   5about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many   6of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think   7their own interests and become   8of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that   9responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team.   10, students can explore possible careers   11service learning.

For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month.  12there are many benefits, opponents （反對者）   13problems with the new requirement. First, they   14that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend   15time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without   16goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.

In my view, service learning is a great way to   17to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers.   18, I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the  19to help must come from the heart. I think the best   20is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
