Sure, nowadays talking with neighbors is like pulling people’s teeth, _________ and frightening. But why should we _______ what seems difficult for impossible? In a different apartment building a few blocks away the lift _______a clever poster with a black stripe across the eyes of a person, warning, “Looking someone in the eyes might lead to a __________ !”

But what if that ________ conversation could introduce us to a gem(珍寶) we were ________? What if starting a friendly conversation with a stranger could ________ a friendship?
