Neighbors used to be somebody we wave and greet when we meet them. Now, things have changed.
As the young lady ___21___ the door for me, I thanked her and observed that she must be a neighbor. We both ___22___ living on the same floor. While we were in the ___23___, I asked her, “So, how do you like your apartment?” ___24___which she replied “I like it but I have not talked to any one of my ___25___ yet.” I somewhat answered doubtfully, “Good luck with that!” ___26___ as it arrived and I walked to my door, I could not help but think.

In a different apartment building a few blocks away the lift ___29___a clever poster with a black stripe across the eyes of a person, warning, “Looking someone in the eyes might lead to a _____30_____ !”
I suspect in our busy city people are ____31____ of starting a conversation with strangers because it could potentially demand time—the most _____32_____ thing in this abundant world. But what if that ____33____ conversation could introduce us to a gem(珍宝) we were ____34____? What if starting a friendly conversation with a stranger could ____35____ a friendship?
So, when I opened the door, I ____36____ designed a one- page poster inviting my neighbors to a house concert. Then I searched for the best ____37____ of color copies in Ballston, ____38____ that not surprisingly the good people in The Printed Page offer the lowest for the fastest service, and within 30 minutes I sent 80 copies of the ____39____ for each of the apartments in the building.
Whether any of my neighbors ____40____ or not, I trust that an open door and a friendly smile can help build a community. So, wish me good luck and talk to your neighbors!
