5 . Neighbors play an important role in our lives. Their lifestyle, friends, and social habits can have a strong influence on our lives.   So it's a good idea to get along well with neighbors and build a better relationship that will last for many years to come.   But how should you get along with your neighbors?

When you hear of a special need you can meet, do it, such as sitting with a sick child while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctor's appointment when their car won't start.

If you hear that someone close by is ill, has an accident, or is out of work, give him or her a hot meal or a fresh dessert. Your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time.   If your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him or her.   There is no better way to build relationships.   Besides, you never know when the favor might be returned.

Exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions.   Invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch.   A backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun.   If they've watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events.

Plan a party.   Invite all your neighbors to your party.   Planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other.

8 . As workers return to the office, friends meet up and religious services move from online to in person, people are asking the question: to shake hands or not to shake hands? When the coronavirus (新冠病毒) crisis first began, an event planning business in Kansas City began selling “I Shake Hands” stickers.     1     Those who did not want to shake hands with others could simply choose not to wear a sticker.

    2     A widely held belief is that it started as a way to show that a person was offering peace and not holding a hidden weapon. But hands have germs. Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's leading disease expert, warned that we shouldn't shake hands again. While Dr. Amesh Adalja, another expert, does not agree.     3     The answer, he says, is simple. If you are worried about COVID, the best way to make handshakes safe is to be fully vaccinated (打疫苗). And for any other things that might be on people's hands, just wash your hands before you touch your face.

Diane Gottsman is a national etiquette (礼仪) expert. She said though the country is entering a time similar to the start of the pandemic, when people wanted to know if others were socially distancing before getting close to them, she does not think the handshake will go away because of the pandemic.     4    But she said people should take things slowly. Don't be the first to extend your hand. You can watch the other person and allow them to extend their greeting of choice.

At the beginning of the pandemic, some companies offered to create new workplace rules, such as a no-handshake policy. But there was not enough interest for people.     5    

A．You'd better avoid shaking hands.

B．The handshake has been around for centuries.

C．The words were meant to make social situations easier.

D．Anyway, people long for human interaction and human touch.

E．Etiquette means the rules making up the correct way to behave in society.

F．He thinks people are overthinking the question of whether to shake hands or not.

G．It's a really hard greeting to deny as it has been deep-rooted since we were young.

Several studies suggest there are some very good reasons to think about ways to be kind and friendly plan out that type of behavior.     1     Researchers also say kindness played an important part in how humans developed.

But research shows that our bodies can also reward us for being kind. University of California Riverside psychology professor Sonja has tested this idea in many experiments over the past 20 years. In one experiment, she asked people to perform three acts of kindness for other individuals each week. She asked a different group to do three acts of self-kindness.     4     The people who were kind toothers reported feeling happier and more connected to the world.
