问题     Mark Clements, 53, a garageman, had long and untidy hair. Laura Shira, 43, who gives haircuts, needed car repairs. Rather than【36】for service, the two residents helped each other. A typical small-town favor, right? No, the two didn’t know each other. They【37】the Neighborhood Service Exchange (NSE), where members【38】their skills.

    It’s working. Hidi Hanson, 53, agreed to make "【44】phone calls" to Katie O’Brien, 66, who had suffered a stroke. The two became fast friends who now talk on the phone almost daily. "I don’t even bother to keep【45】my credits anymore," says O’Brien.  

选项 A、idea
