It seems to me that neighbors are going out of style in America. The friend next door from whom you borrowed four eggs or a ladder has moved and the people in there now are strangers. Some of the traditional stories of neighborliness are impractical or silly, and it may be just as well that our relations with our neighbors are changing. The saying in the Bible "Love Thy Neighbor" was probably a poor translation of what must have originally been "Respect Thy Neighbor". Love can’t be called up on order. Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five years ago, so there’s no reason to love the people who live next door to you just because they happened to wander into a real estate office that listed the place next door to yours. The only thing neighbors have in common, to be-gin with, is proximity, and unless something more develops, that isn’t reason enough to be best friends. It sometimes happens naturally, but the chances are very small that your neighbors will be your choice as friends. Or that you will be theirs, either.
The best relationship with neighbors is one of friendly distance. You say hello, you small-talk if you see them in the yard, you discuss problems as they arise and you help each other in an emergency. The driveway or the fence between you is not really a cold shoulder, but a clear boundary. We all like clearly-defined boundaries for ourselves.
选项
A、They are fully occupied with their own business.
B、Not many of them stay in the same place for long.
C、Not many of them can win trust from their neighbors.
D、They attach less importance to interpersonal relations.
答案
B
解析
Why does the speaker say it may be difficult for people to love their neighbors?
四个选项中的后三个中都出现了否定词not或less,而且C)和D)中都出现了表示人际关系的词语,由此可以推测本题提问某种人际关系不成功的原因。文章中提到Fewer than half the people in the United States live in the same house they lived in five years ago,so there’s no reason to love the people who live next door to you,这是一个以so连接的表示因果关系的句子,由此可知,不可能喜欢邻居的原因在于接近一半的美国人在一个地方的居住时间不超过五年,很难建立深厚的邻里关系。选项B)是对此句的简短概括,为本题的正确答案。
