I passed by a girl who __38__ 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 __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 (语气) 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. I __46__ you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone's day a little brighter.
