researchers found that openness to experience didn't have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining
sunny
traits—conscientiousness,
extra
version,
and
agreeableness—predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it's a pretty intuitive(直觉的) result, since it's easy to be friends with someone who's always on time, always saying that you're right, and always up to hang out. But if you don't exactly identify with all that, fear not: Your personality is so much more than your traits.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is to keep your property(房产) neat, clean，and in good repair. __2__ By choosing to keep the outside of the home in great shape, you will help to improve the look and feel of the area.

__4__ If a neighbor is going to be out of town，offer to collect mail and newspapers. If a neighbor suffers an illness, offer to do the grocery shopping. Let them know that you are there to help in any way that is acceptable, while still respecting the privacy of your neighbor.
__5__ By following the basic rules of respecting others, taking care of what belongs to you, and taking pride in the appearance of the neighborhood in general, you will quickly become a good neighbor that everyone appreciates.
A．In general, keep an eye on their property while they are gone. B．A good neighbor is also one who likes to help out in small ways. C．Being a good neighbor is more or less about considerate behavior. D．Sometimes neighbors may go to the supermarket together to do shopping. E．Should you come across waste paper thrown out of a passing car, pick it up. F．People tend to take pride in keeping everything in their street fresh and inviting.
G．Here are a few tips to help you win over everyone in the neighborhood quickly. 语篇解读：本文从做好自己分内事、关注四邻整体环境、热心分担邻居困难这三个角度说明了如何与邻居处理好关系。
1．[解析] 根据第一段第三句“The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should(实现这个最简单的方法就是确保你自己表现得像个友好的邻居)．”以及第二段第一句“Perhaps one of the most important things you can do as a good neighbor is...”以及第三段中的Second可知，G选项(以
下是帮助你迅速赢得每个邻居的好感的一些建议。)承上启下，符合语境。
[答案] G
2．[解析] 根据第二段第一句“或许作为一个好的邻居，你能做的最重要的事情之一就是保持你的房子整洁、干净，以及完好无损”和第二段最后一句“通过选择保持房子外面处于良好的状态，你将帮助改善整个地区的外观和(给人的)感受”可知，空格处的内容跟“室外清洁”有关。而F项(人们更容易以保持他们街道干净和充满吸引力为傲。)符合语境。
[答案] F
3．[解析] E项(如果你遇到沿途路过的汽车乱扔废纸，就把它捡起来。)与空格前“When going for a walk, take along a small garbage bag.”形成并列关系，并且与空格后this small act形成指代和解释关系。
[答案] E
4．[解析] 根据空格处所在位置可知，这里考查段落中心意思，与后文存在总分关系，可以从后文“If a neighbor is going to be out of town... If a neighbor suffers an illness...”等可知，这些举动都是让自己成为一个体贴的好邻居的举动。B项中also与前文形成递进关系，help out in small ways(在小事情上伸出援助之手)正好照应后文中邻居外出与邻居生病等情况。
[答案] B
5．[解析] 根据总分关系可知，此处是对全文的一个总结，从后文可以归纳出成为一个人见人爱的好邻居的关键是体贴入微，故选C。
[答案] C
