五、阅读理解
The woman in the flat upstairs(楼上的)plays her piano at midnight. The family across the street never cleans their garden. The rubbish is flying into your garden.
Have things like this ever happened(发生)to you? If so, you may ask yourself, "Who are these people? Why are they doing these things to me?"
These days, $\underline{\quad\blacktriangle\quad}$. Sometimes they share a friendly wave(挥手)or say hello, but a lot of people don't even know their neighbours' names!
When you don't know your neighbours, you may think, "Maybe they like to make me angry." or "Maybe they do it deliberately(故意地)." Believe it or not, your neighbours don't mean to make you angry most of the time. Often, they don't even know that they're bringing problems to you.
So before you find some ways to deal with the problem, you should talk about it with them first. When you meet your neighbours, you should talk to them in a friendly way. Say something good about their children or do something else to make them feel good. And if you can think of an easy way to help them, say 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 neighbours with the problem.
In a word, sometimes it's a good idea to avoid(避免)the problem.
