Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbors make noise that you are not comfortable with.

The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticize (批评) his behavior; it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbor may become angry.

If your neighbor becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞).

Even if your neighbor makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level.

51. What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbor?

A. To buy a good pair of earplugs.

B. To offer suggestions to the neighbor.

C. To ask the neighborhood committee for help.

D. To tell the neighbor how bad his behavior is.

52. The underlined word “reasonable” in the third paragraph probably means “____”.

A. terrible            B. loud         C. proper          D. unpleasant

53. What should be written in the letter to the neighborhood committee?

A. How to punish your noisy neighbor.

B. Where and when the noise appears.

C. How to make the noise less in the neighborhood.

D. What problems the noise causes to your life.

54.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. You should control your noise as well.

B. You can live comfortably even if there is noise.

C. Your neighbor may be more friendly than you think.

D. You should build good relationship with your neighbor.

55.The author wrote this passage to tell us ____ .

A. why we should get on well with neighbors

B. how to relax ourselves in a modern society

C. how to become known among neighbors

D. what we should do with our noisy neighbor

C

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.

56. The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.

A. his memory is not often used

B. he does not use his name or legs for some time

C. his father or mother may have a poor memory

D. he can’t read or write

57. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.

A. you can’t use them any more

B. they will become stronger

C. they will become neither stronger nor weaker

D. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Don’t learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory.

B. Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chance for practice.

C. Your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.

D. A good memory comes from more practice.

59. Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.

A. they have save much trouble

B. they have saved much time to remember things

C. they have to use their memories all the time
