My ___37___ came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who ___38___ her books out of her locker.

However, when I had to ___39___ because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to ___40___ 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 ___41___ by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a ___42___. It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every ___43___ from my new friend had a tone（語氣）of doubt in it. And who could blame him?
People aren’t used to making an ___44___ chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how ___45___ it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible.
