Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be a more serious problem when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat.     1     Sometimes noise goes well into a night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly.

You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite. Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbor to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 am.     2     You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behavior, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter.

    3     For example, if your neighbor has loud parties every Friday night that last into the early morning then write down those dates.

When the noise remains going on, you should report it to the police station. Often, the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.

    4     When the noise keeps going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter, don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. As a saying goes, “     5     ” Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

A．A noisy neighbor can make life challenging.

B．A good neighbor is better than a distant relative.

C．It’s because we have learned something painful but important.

D．The letter should show the dates when the noise was quite terrible.

E．You should know that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet.

F．You can also add that you will stop making noises that influence your neighbor.

【推荐3】Graduates all face a reality of hunting for a job, the performance of employees(员工) influence their life directly. However, some critics(挑剔的人) argue that creating a close relationship with coworkers and superior(上级) plays the most important part. But the defenders(保守的人) assume(认定) that the knowledge they learned at universities decide most. In my opinion, studying hard in school is the major factor(因素) for a satisfying career.

To tell the truth, a good relationship with leaders is good for a promotion (提升). When they are close to the leader, they could get an information directly and quickly, and get better chances to be promoted. For instance, a roommate of mine, working in the student’s union, developed a close friendship with the chief. So when he left the union, he promoted her as the chief directly. The ability of her and her fellow workmates is almost of the same standard. With the advantage of successful relationship, she wins at last.

The importance of studying hard at school is better than that of good relationship. Real skills make sure of a steady(稳定的) performance in a company. That is, only skillful employees can survive in a company. An uncle of mine, for example, fight for his future in a company. He is really a cold man, and always serious but hard-working at school. It is the knowledge which promise him a bright future. Bosses only desire for talented workers who will create profits(利益) for them. When it comes to cutting members, the smart people with relationship will surely be cut firstly, however men with real skills would be the last to be cut.

More significantly(意味深长的), hard-working is a special feature even in a company. Hard-working is the deposit(积蓄、积累) of years, it’s a special attitude throughout one’s life. People who study hard at school are more likely to study hard in their career. When we were in a university, hard-working promised a great academic performance(学业成绩). When we are in a company, hard-working made us adapt(适应) better and faster to a new condition. In our life, hard-working get us to continue learning all the time. There is no wonder that graduates working hard at school have better performance in their career.

From what have been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion (得出结论) that working hard in school is more important. Workers studying hard at school have better ability to solve problems. On the contrary(相反), for people depend on getting along well with others, their career seems to be unsteady.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the writer’s view?

A．Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult for the graduates to get a satisfying job after leaving university.

B．As long as you work hard at school, it will be easy for you to get a satisfying job after leaving university.

C．Whether to find a satisfying job has much to do with a graduate’s future life.

【推荐1】An old man lived with his little grandson. Every day the old man got up early to read books. One day, the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I want to read books as you. But I always forget what I read. What are the advantages of reading?”

The grandfather didn’t answer him, but he said to the boy, “Take this little basket to the river and bring back a basket of water for me.” The boy went to the river to fill the basket with water, but all the water leaked out before he got back home. The boy was sad, but his grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to walk faster next time.”

The next time, the boy ran faster, but the basket was still empty before he returned home. The boy said, “See, Grandpa, it’s no use!”

“Is it useless?” the old man said. “Look at the basket.”

【推荐2】I once needed to make a speech in my English class. The speech was about ten to fifteen minutes. I’d never spoken in public (公开) for such a long time before. I really had no idea whether I could do a good job. After two weeks’ preparation, I finished my speech. But speaking in public still made me nervous.

At last, the day came. I went to the platform (讲台). However, before my speech started, I dropped all my note cards over the floor by accident. I was greatly down. I tried to focus on my speech but I couldn’t. All I cared about was how my classmates would think of me.

However, no one laughed at me. They just said, “Come on!” Because of their encouragement (鼓励), I finished my speech successfully in the end.

In life, we always pay more attention (注意) to bad things than good ones. This always makes us feel awful. And such bad feelings will also stop us from bringing the best in us. If we can change our way of thinking, we can think clearly what we’ve learned. And the knowledge can be put into use in the future. Then change from now on.

3. Dropping the note cards made the writer greatly discouraged.
