A
Two ladies lived next to each other. One day, one of the ladies said to the other, “I have lived here for five years, but I have never met you before. Could I have your name, please?” The other replied, “I am Li Huaying. I moved here three years ago. What should I call you?”
It seems very ridiculous that people living next to each other don’t know each other for such a long time. However, this kind of story is often heard in many cities. With the raising of living standards(水平), many people have moved into modern buildings. They like to stay at home, enjoying the modern life in their houses. They seldom go out after they get home from work. They have little contact(联系) with their neighbours and don’t care about what is happening in the neighbourhood.
Our life is getting better and better, but the relationship(关系) between neighbours is not as close(亲近的) as before. Good relationship of neighbours is important to people. People need trust, understanding and help all the time. Now, we should do something to make a change. People living in the same neighborhood should be organized(组织) to have some social activities so that they can have a better understanding of each other.
46. The two ladies are _____________.
A. friends B. sisters C. neighbours D. workmates
