We often face the following situations in our daily life:
? The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o’clock at night.
? The family across the street never cleans up their yard. The rubbish blows into your yard.
? The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive.
Have things like this ever happened to you? If so, you may ask yourself, “Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?”
These days, many people don’t know their neighbors. Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello, but lots of people don’t even know their neighbor’s names! When you don’t know someone, it’s easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair. You think, “Maybe they like to make me angry, “or “Maybe they do it on purpose.” Believe it or not, your neighbors probably don’t mean to irritate(激怒)you. Often, they don’t even know that they’re making you feel angry. So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem, you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbors, you should talk to them in a friendly manner. Praise their children to make them feel good. Then explain the situation. And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem, suggest it.
If talking doesn’t work, ask another person to help. This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.
Finally, sometimes it’s a good idea to avoid the problem. Depending on the problem, it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor’s way.

Enjoying Dinner with Friends in America
Americans, like many people elsewhere in the world, like to invite friends to their homes for an evening of food, drink and conversation. Formal dinners, in fine homes and hotels in the United States are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the United States have no servants (佣人) , their dinner parties at home are mostly informal. Guests may sit down at a table, or, as many new small homes have no separate (单独的) dining room or very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room, holding their plates on their knees.
A more enjoyable form of entertainment is the picnic. Americans are great picnickers, and almost every family has a picnic basket. Summer invitations are often for a picnic at a park or in the open countryside. Unless hamburgers or hot dogs are cooked over a fire, picnic food is usually cold sandwiches, salads, potato chips, etc. Watermelon is a favourite dessert, followed very often by baseball for the young and active, and naps (打盹) for the weary (疲惫的; 困乏的).
