(71)C
No one likes a noisy neighbor.Do you hold parties that last all night?Do you leave your dog outside to bark all day?Remember that not everyone has the same schedule as you do,so use some common sense.Keep noise to the lowest level.If you're holding a party that's likely to be loud,invite everyone within earshot.
(72)D
It's much easier to solve any problem with neighbors if you have a friendly relationship with those around you.Furthermore,you may realize that you have things in common and make a lifelong friend.
(73)B
Once you know your neighbors,then you'll also know if something seems out of place in the neighborhood.Are strange people carrying expensive things out of one neighbor's house?Have several days passed since your elderly neighbor last collected his newspaper?The benefit of keeping an eye out for unusual behavior in the neighborhood is that others will do the same for you.
(74)A
It never hurts to follow the Golden Rule:Do to others what you would like them to do to you.Treat your neighbors with respect.Offer to drive an elderly neighbor to the grocery store.Volunteer to collect mail while a neighbor is on vacation.The more often you lend a helping hand,the more likely that your neighbors will do the same for you when you need a little help.
(75)E
Don't just limit your neighborly actions to your block or street.Remember that everyone who lives in a community has the ability to help make it a better place.Think about your passion and find a way to do it on a volunteer basis in your town.Volunteer at the local library.Enjoy working with kids.Consider becoming a scout leader.Whatever your passion is,there's sure to be a thing suitable for you to help in the local community.
