11.I live in a city,and I like quiet life.I hate nosy (愛管閑事的) neighbors but it's very unlucky that I had one for myself.They moved in a couple of months ago and although I never felt that they were a strange family,I've always hated the way they get"too close"to me,my house,my garden,and even my garbage cans.
One day,my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪).My garbage cans were near their lawn.For some strange reason,I found the wife looking through my garbage cans.I felt angry but since they were from a different culture,I thought that maybe it was"normal"from their ideas.
That afternoon,the couple knocked on my front door.When I opened,they gave me a plastic bag.Inside were my old daily bills,credit cards and bank statements,and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent.They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.
I've heard of it before.I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience,which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us.The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills.They also had a"nosy neighbour"who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange.Little did they know that this"nosy neighbor"was collecting their personal information from their rubbish.Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.
It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left.I was very thankful.They were not nosy neighbors.They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did.

分析 文主要講述了發(fā)生在作者身上的一件事,作者一直認(rèn)為他的鄰居很吵鬧,因此很不喜歡他們,而且這個鄰居會去翻作者的垃圾桶,后來又一次他們將作者扔在垃圾桶中的重要文件還給了作者,作者因此對他的鄰居們改觀了.
解答 DABB
1.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,由第一段I've always hated the way they get"too close"to me,my house,my garden,and even my garbage cans.可知作者鄰居的妻子的做法是作者感到很生氣,故選D.
2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,由第三段When I opened,they gave me a plastic bag.Inside were my old daily bills,credit cards and bank statements,and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent.They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.可知他們來到作者得家是為了將那些文件還給我,故選A.
3.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第四段的"Little did they know that this"nosy neighbor"was collecting their personal information from their rubbish.Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor."可知他們的個人文件被以前的鄰居使用了,故B項正確.
4.B 推理判斷題,由最后一段I was very thankful.They were not nosy neighbors.They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did.作者非常感激,認(rèn)為他們不是很吵鬧的鄰居,因此作者對他們已經(jīng)改觀,故選B.
