Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat. A noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which requires your ability to keep calm.

You should first try to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite, even friendly. It can begin with a statement like. “I am not sure you are aware”. Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbor to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too, and you are certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise.

You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirement, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behavior, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings 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 local authorities (权力部门), or even the police department, when it is really necessary. Often, however, the problem is solved when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.

Do be aware that you cannot always require noisy neighbors to be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry or retaliatory (报复性的) fashion. 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. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

The Sunday Mail magazine interviewed some parents about whether children should do chores at home. Different people have different opinions.

Ms Miller thinks that kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. When kids get older, they will have to do housework. So there is no need for them to do it now. She thinks that doing chores is not so difficult.

However, Mr. Smith disagrees with her. He thinks it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It’s not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. Doing chores helps children to be independent and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Everyone should do their part in keeping the house clean and tidy. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.

【推荐1】We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important but the way a person stands or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings. A person frowns (皱眉) when he is angry or in trouble. Parents pat their children’s heads to show their love. Some players like to throw their arms forward, as if they’re flying, after they score. You can see body language here and there. Body language does not use words. It is communication with the movement or position of your body. A hand gesture, a big smile, and a shaking leg these are all examples of body language.

According to the research made by American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. For example, a friend asks you to go on a picnic with him; you give him an “OK” gesture to say, “Yes, sounds good!” Sometimes, your words say one thing but your body language says another. You may touch your face unconsciously while telling a lie.

In different cultures, the same body language may mean different things. In the US, eye contact during a conversation shows you are interested in what the other person is saying. But in some Asian countries, it is rude to look straight at a person when you are talking to him or her. People in some countries use different body language to show the same meaning. In France, people kiss cheeks to say hello. The Japanese prefer to bow when greeting.

Perhaps the best example of a commonly understood body language is the smile. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any feeling. We can use a smile to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves in the mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.

【推荐2】The Beijing Winter Games will try to offer the best game-watching experience to viewers around the world.

“Because 5G and cloud technologies will support the broadcast, viewers can enjoy the world’s clearest images, an 8K broadcast in ultra-high definition,” said Yu Hong, head of the technical department of the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee.

“For example, supported by 360-degree replay and ‘free visual angle (自由视角)’, viewers can have an ‘immersive (沉浸式的)’ experience,” said Yu. In Wukesong Sports Center, lots of cameras are set around the place to shoot competitions from different angles at the same time. Using a phone app, viewers can choose different viewing angles to watch the events.

What’s more, viewers can watch high-definition broadcasts on VR devices to “attend” the event online.

5G technology will also be widely used at the Games. More than 100 5G base stations have been set up. They give 5G signals in and around all the places of events.

The highways and railways connecting the Beijing and Zhangjiakou competition zones also have full 5G coverage. The 5G network can stand high winds and extreme (极端的) temperatures, down to -45℃.

According to China News Service, 5G networks will even bring the Olympics to Qomolangma. With 5G towers for Olympic broadcasts being set up on the mountain, for the first time, explorers will be able to watch live broadcasts of the Games from the highest point of the world.
