Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water:we don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them.They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we wrte,both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here‘s how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
61.Strike up a conversation. Often neighbors don't even know each other's names.But it's okay to be the one to break
the ice,even if you've lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the
folks on the other side of the fence.So as you see them at work in their yards,smile,wave,and say
hello.Ask how their kids are (whether they're babies or in college),whether they could use an extra
cucumber from your garden,or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.
62.Reach out to the newcomers. These days,the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past.But your new neighbors may
be feeling lonely and unsure,especially if they're far from home,and might appreciate a friendly face
bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes.If they have kids,tell them where the children in the
neighborhood live.Recommend the best places to eat and sleep.Invite them over for coffee or tea
when they get settled,give them your number,and point to your house as you say good-bye.
63.Avoid causing inconveniences Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor,such as tools,in good repair and as
soon as you've finished with them.Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you,your
children,or your pets break or soil.Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway.Such
random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking-and the talk will be good.
64.Make time for friendships. If you value a friendship with your neighbors,spend time with them.What better way
to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue,pool party,or holiday open
house?Better yet,you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor.Deliver the
invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before
moving on to the next house.This way,you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that
you can plan for appropriate food and music.
65.Care about the details. In a good relationship,it's really the little things that count.Help to bring in the mail
for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain.When your neighbor gorgets to take in his rubbish
cans,roll them back into his yard.If you're truly concerned,you'll know when your neighbor needs
some cheering up-a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it's needed.All it takes to develop
your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.
分析 短文主旨题
解答 答案:61选C.此处是一个小标题,应该与下文整个段落的意思存在着密切的联系,结合下文的"So as you see them at work in their yards,smile,wave,and say hello.Ask their…"可知C项符合此处的语境.62选E.newcomers是关键词,概括本段的内容可知,都是谈论怎样帮助newcomers适应新的环境的. 63选F.此处仍是一个小标题,总领下文.根据下文的内容可知"避免造成不便"是这段的主要内容.故F项合适.64选D.下文的内容都是围绕Make time展开的,故选D项.65 选B.此处还是一个小标题,综合A、B两项意思看,不是做一个good listener,而是围绕details写的,如when there is a heavy rain.等,故B项合适.
点评 做此类题型,多要注意一些细节及上下文的衔接.有的句子看上去是答案,但是仔细阅读上下文后,又不是标准答案,这就要求做题时要仔细推敲.
