Every year on my birthday since I was 11,a white gardenia (栀子花) was sent to my house.No card ever came with it.Calls to the flower shop were not helpful at all.After some time I stopped trying to find out the sender's name and was just pleased with the beautiful flower,in soft pink paper.

I couldn't stop imagining who the giver might be.Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming(幻想 )about the sender.My mother encouraged these daydreams.She'd ask me if I had been especially kind to someone.Perhaps it was one of my classmates Perhaps it was the old man who I once helped.As a girl,I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy that I had met.

A month before my high school graduation(毕业),my father died.I was so sad that I became completely uninterested in my coming graduation dance,and I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not.My mother,in her own sadness,would not let me miss (过) any of those things.She wanted her children to feel loved.In fact,my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia:lovely,strong and perfect.

My mother died ten years after I was married.That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.

If you can’t get along well with your neighbors, you’ll make your life terrible day after day. But if you take the time to develop a good relationship with your neighbors, it can bring you many advantages including a friendlier community, a safer neighborhood and a nicer and more comfortable area. There are some suggestions for you to be a good neighbor.

If you're new in the neighborhood, introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area.

Be aware of the shared walls. If you and your neighbors share living spaces and live close to each other, try to put the noisy washing machines and dryers away from the shared walls.

Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮带) if it has a habit of running wildly on your neighbor’s lawns, especially if they have a pet of their own, and make sure to clean up after it.

When you park your car, be sure not to block anyone’s doorway or leave them a very small parking space. Don't slam (砰地关上) your car doors late at night.

Cut the grass in your garden as often as you can, because the grass in your yard is not only ugly but also can spread to your neighbor's yard.

Really good neighbors look after each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that have influence on the larger neighborhood and look for chances to communicate. Great neighbors lead to great neighborhoods.
