【题目】When you want to buy or rent a house, you are expecting not only the quality of the house itself but also the nice neighbours who live near you. Almost everyone agrees that it is helpful to live with some good neighbours. However, the standard of good neighbours is different from people to people. In my opinion, a good neighbour should be someone that respects your life. Is ready to help others and concerns zbout the environment in the neighbourhood.

First of all, it is very important for neighbours to expect your life. Just imagine, if you have a neighbour who is curious about you, especially your personal life, and tries to know more about it by whatever means. How will you feel? What is more, he or she may talk with others about your life. Do you want to live near him or her any more? The answer is definitely negative. You will feel very uncomfortable to have such kind of people in your neighbourhood and you may move as soon as possible.

Next, what you should consider is that a good neighbour is always willing to give you a hand when you need help. For example, if you are not at home and someone suspect tries to unlock your door, your neighbour who sees it should call 110, and it will help you to protect your property.

Finally, a good neighbour should be concerned about the environment, especially around your neighbourhood. He or she should throw all the rubbish into the garbage and keep the place clean, because a good environment can make people who live in it comfortable and relaxed all the time.

Therefore, it is very important for a neighbour to have such qualities as above.

【题目】Most schools ban chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help boost your test scores.

This exciting research is just beginning. And at the same time, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath.

These gums are part of the growing number of foods and drinks that contain health-boosting ingredients. If you're already a gum fan, that's probably welcome news.

Americans chew about 1.8 pounds of gum per person each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. By showing that gum chewing can be healthy, companies that make and sell gum hope that we'll chew even more.

Chewing gum might be good for your brain. One Japanese study of nine participants found that chewing gum boosted the flow of blood to participants' brains by up to 40 percent. Blood carries oxygen, which fuels brain cells.

Other small studies have found that people perform better on memory tests while chewing gum. And a study in the United Kingdom found that people who chewed gum while memorizing a list of words did about 25 percent better at recalling those words than people who didn't chew gum.

But additional studies are still needed to confirm that chewing gum has benefits. So far, results of studies about memory have been mixed. Not all tests have had similarly encouraging results. What's more, many of the studies that show gum's benefits are funded by gum companies.

So, for now, chew with caution. Too much chewing can damage the jaw joint. And chewing too much of a gum that contains vitamins, caffeine, or a medicine could lead to an overdose. What's more, no matter how healthy gum chewing proves to be, it will never be a match for a healthy lifestyle. Nothing like a gum or a vitamin is going to cure a bad eating habit or a bad exercise habit. It's not a magic bullet.
