Section C (12 points)

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.

There was a new guy in the office. When we walked by each other in the hallway, we smiled and said " hi". Actually, he said, "Hi, Joe."  48   I just said "hi" because... well... I didn't know his name, and was embarrassed to ask. 

I passed him in the hall again yesterday. As I was continuing down the hall, feeling pretty good about how well I was coping  49   not knowing his name, when I heard a familiar voice behind me. "I don't know you!" It was Sylvia, one of the kindest people I know. Sylvia was friendly and warm, a welcoming mother to everyone in the office. She was walking a few paces behind me, and evidently she didn't know the new guy  50  .

But rather than just smile and say "hi," Sylvia did what she did. Not only  52   she announce that she didn't know him, but asked him his name,   51   him hers and engaged him in conversation. Before  53   they were chatting like old friends about some things they had in   54  . And suddenly for Sylvia, the new guy wasn't the new guy anymore. He was Mitch, a colleague with children, hobbies, interests and a little shared history.

I was stunned -- and a little embarrassed by the ease with   55   Sylvia negotiated that transition. It doesn't take much to turn an unfamiliar face in into a friend. You just have to get over yourself and reach out a little. Ask a question. Learn a name. And just like that -- no more new guy
