问题  
M: Well, for years, people have been trying to keep up with the Joneses, but instead of competing with your neighbors, how about actually trying to get along with them? Joining us with some simple tips on how to deal with those likeable and not so likeable neighbors is Betty Wong: she is the Executive Editor of Family Circle magazine. Good morning, Betty.
W: Good morning, Allen.
M: Well, in an ideal world, I guess we would all get along with our neighbors, wouldn’t we?
W: Right, right. We hope so.
M: But how do we establish a good relationship? When you move into a neighborhood, right, should you reach out to the neighbors or should they be reaching out to you?
W: I think it could work either way. I mean, certainly, if they don’t reach out to you, don’t assume that they are being rude or unfriendly. They just might be holding back because they think you are too busy. So if they don’t make that first step, you know, after a few days, go ahead and introduce yourself.
M: Yeah, neighbors can be really helpful, but of course they can also be annoying. For example, neighbors who make a lot of noise.
W: Well. Loud music is one of those top complaints, and I think you know for most reasons... people, they probably aren’t even aware that they are causing problems for their neighbors. And I think if you bring it up to your neighbors’ attention they will be more than happy to fix it. You could say something like, you know, I’m kind of, I’m really a light sleeper or I suffer from headache. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during those evening hours or the early morning, or come up with a compromise that works for both of you.
M: Don’t just call the police, right? Which a lot of people do.
W: Of course, no.
M: Right, then what about a nosy neighbor.
W: Right, I think a lot of time as we may mistake nosy behavior for being, you know, nosy or poky when they are just being kind of trying to be friendly, or maybe that person’s lonely. It’s... You kind of have to see what the motive is there, and oftentimes, if you are little evasive, or, you just don’t answer their question, they often take the hint and back off.
M: And the neighbor that comes to visit and won’t go away?
W: Well, I think, you know that, there might be somebody who is just really lonely and wants a friend. You know oftentimes I think the rule is a five or ten minute-visit, is fine. Because you know that way you are not imposing on that person’s schedule or that person’s plan. But you know, you don’t have to be best friends with your neighbor at all, you can just be polite, and say hello in the morning, and that makes everybody’s relationship so much better.
M: Well, that’s important. Betty Wong, thanks so much for the tips we appreciate from Family Circle magazine and for more on this topic and others, head to the Early Show website at CBSnews.com.

选项 A、Hold a party at home.
B、Introduce ourselves first.
C、Avoid meeting them.
D、Wait for them to visit us.

答案B

解析 题目问如果邻居没有首先进行联络时,我们该如何做。对话中女士提到,如果邻居没有首先迈出第一步,那我们可以在数天后主动介绍自己。B项“先介绍自己”与录音相符,故选B,同时排除D项“等邻居来拜访我们”。录音中并未提到“开派对”和“避免跟他们见面”,可排除A、C。
