A survey has been published which shows that British people don’t like their neighbours very much. 80% of the people who took part in the survey feel that their neighbours h1 1 pay attention to others’ feelings. 25% don’t talk to the people who live next door and 10% don’t even know their names. In fact, one million people in Britain would like to m 2 because they don’t get along well with their neighbours.
According to the survey, the b 3 problem is noise. Many of the complaints about noise came from people who live in flats and old houses. These places often have thin walls which can’t s 4 the noise from next door.
The other main problems are disagreements（不和）about car parking spaces, and old people complaining about the young. Some disagreements last a l5 time. In one case, people who live in the same building haven’t talked to each other for fifteen years. Sometimes the disagreements end in violence. In one of the worst cases, a man killed a neighbour because he kept parking in “his space”.
Another survey shows that 90% of the neighbours never share a meal, 80% have never had a drink t 6 and 20% have never even spoken. However, when neighbours become each other’s f 7 , they are often ready to offer help, as we can see in many parts of the world.
One solution to such problems is to talk about them with a professional organization and, if necessary, to sign a written agreement. Now people can get this service in more and more towns. 答案：
Hardly；move；biggest；stop；Long；together；friends
