I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier(收银台)in her general store.  36_I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

At first I was paid in candy.    37    I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.    38

By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics(化妆品)I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup(化妆)ideas.    39

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.  40    Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must  41  sixty hours of service learning,   42  they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community.   43   of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student.   44  a service experience, students must keep a journal(日志)and then write a  _45   about what they have learned.

Supporters claim that there are many   46   of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think   47   their own interests and become   48   of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that  49   shouldering responsibility, solving problems, and working as part of a team.   __50  , students can explore possible careers _51   service 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.

52   there are many benefits, opponents   53   problems with the new requirement. First, they__54   that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills.

Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
