Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
What does it take to be a good neighbor? Over the years I have
had all kinds of neighbors, ones that were enjoyable and others
that were to be avoided at all costs.
One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is
to respect a person's privacy (隐私)．When someone new moves into
the neighborhood it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbors that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.
It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood.This can not only put you on good terms with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, this shows that you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.
Another way of being a good neighbor is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster (灾难)，it is good to offer your help.Even though you have never really talked to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help out a neighbor in need.
In conclusion, if you respect people's privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need，you will be a great neighbor and anyone would be happy to have you next door!

(2018·江西吉安高一期末)
The morning had been a disaster.My tooth was aching，and I'd been in an argument with a friend.Her words still hurt ：“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place.Can't you see things from my point of view？〞 I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth.I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable.I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately.Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
“If you come by right now，〞 the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in.〞
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the others?
In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice­cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said，“Don't wor ry.The dentist is very good.〞
“How long do I have to wait for him？〞 I asked impatiently.
“Come on, he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork，〞 the assistant said.
“The artwork？〞 I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
