Nowadays, the people who live near us are mostly not friends by choice, nor relatives by birth, but are probably acquaintances(熟人 ) by chance. In my opinion, a good neighbor is often associated with such virtues(美德 ) as tolerance(寬容 ), respect, help and love. Without tolerance and respect, neighbors are not likely to live in peace. 1 . They do not do certain things to annoy people living next door. They don’t ask about their neighbors’ personal life. They don’t blame neighbors’ children for playing in their yards. 2 . Tolerance is another important aspect of a good neighbor. When sometimes things turn out to be unbearable, for example, a noisy party, nothing makes us more tolerant than being there. In fact, neighbors’ relationship needs to be coped with carefully. 3 One advantage of good neighbors is that they can help and love each other, nearer than most relatives and friends at a distance. Indeed, a helping hand from a good neighbor cannot be replaced even by the faraway support . 4 Tolerance, respect, help and love may contribute to a more enjoyable life in the neighborhood. However, in this modern society, sometimes we do not even know who our nextdoor neighbor is. So start being a good neighbor by knocking on the next door and saying hello. 5 F We all know the sun is important. 1______ But how does the sun do that?
