3、    I live in an apartment building in a planned community, including private roads. I have lived in this     1     of mostly professionals and retirees(退休者) for over three years,but I had met only a few of my     2    .
    After the     3     had stopped falling, we were left to care for     4     because the city and state services didn’t work. I went out to the parking lot to dig out my and my girlfriend’s     5    . I took a large metal piece of my desk to     6     as a shovel(锹). After about 30 minutes of     7    , some of the neighbors     8     with snow shovels and told me if I helped them, they would     9     me. I agreed and we dug out each others’ cars. The streets were     10     due to a state of emergency declared by the governor, so we had nowhere to go.
    As I said, I only know my immediate neighbor,one who is elderly. But we all (we were 10 guys,all together,in the beginning) put our     11     together and figured out who was too     12     or too ill to dig themselves     13     and went about,as a team,helping them.     14     the day went on, more and more people     15     us, men and women. We became an army of snow     16    , our only motivation was concern for the people who were     17     and our growing friendship.
