1 . People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “hello”. After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to _______the way I was doing things.

My _______came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who_______ her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to_______ because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself and no one had stopped to _______her.

“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”

My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man _______by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a _______. It was difficult to get started, and even harder when I had to say goodbye, almost every _______ from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him?

People aren’t used to making an _______chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how__________ it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I__________ you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make society come __________ as a whole.
