Noisy neighbors are a problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be the most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat—noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm.
First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite and friendly. It can begin with words like “I am not sure you know that.” Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you’re willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating much noise.
You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don’t change their behaviors, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances(不满)and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates.
When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities(权力部门), or even call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.
Be aware that you can’t always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter don’t start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

During the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend talented people. ___66___, Feng didn’t recommend anyone after several months.
“I tried my best, but there are no ___67___ (usual) or well-rounded people at all,” Feng said.
“People are like tools,” said the emperor. “What we need to do is ___68___ (make) good use of their strengths. You should blame (归咎于) ___69___ (you) for not noticing people’s strengths. How could you say that there are no talented people in our dynasty ”
That’s true. Each tool has its own function (功能). A knife is made to cut things ___70___ chopsticks (筷子) are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick, ___71___ a tool, each person has a special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.
With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong found many talented people of different ___72___ (background). He gave them important positions, which helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.
A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of ___73___ (use) advice, so Emperor Taizong gave him a position and praised him many times.
If a person is talented in one field, we should give him a chance. ___74___ same idea can be found in the Analects of Confucius. Treating people as tools shows good leadership. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officers, ____75____ (ask) them to treat talented people correctly.
【答案】
66. However 67. unusual 68. to make 69. yourself 70. while
71. like 72. backgrounds 73. useful 74. The 75. asking
【解析】本文通过唐朝宰相封德彝推荐不出人才,而唐太宗却告诉他每个人都有自己的优点的故事告诉我们:我们应该正确对待人才。
【66题详解】
句意:然而,封在几个月后没有推荐任何人。“Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend talented people”和“Feng didn’t recommend anyone after several months”是转折关系,所以空缺处用however“然而”,首字母大写,故填However。
【67题详解】
句意:我尽了最大努力,但根本没有不寻常全面发展的人。根据“recommend talented people”可知,此处指不寻常的人,形容词unusual“不寻常的”,故填unusual。
【68题详解】
句意:我们需要做的是充分利用他们的优势。根据“What we need to do is”和“good use of their strengths”可知,此处指我们需要做的是充分利用他们的优势,空缺处用动词make的不定式to make,故填to make。
【69题详解】
句意:你应该归咎于自己没有注意到别人的优点。根据主语和宾语是同一个人可知,空缺处用you的反身代词yourself“你自己”,故填yourself。
【70题详解】
句意:刀是用来切东西的,筷子是用来夹食物的。“A knife is made to cut things”和“chopsticks(筷子) are made to pick up food”是并列关系,所以用while(对比两个事物)而……,故填while。
【71题详解】
句意:我们不能把刀当筷子用。就像工具一样,每个人都有特殊的力量。根据“each person has a special strength”可知,此处指像工具一样,介词like“像”,故填like。
【72题详解】
句意:有了这个想法,唐太宗找到了许多不同背景的人才。根据“many talented people of different”可知,空缺处用background“背景”的复数backgrounds,故填backgrounds。
【73题详解】
句意:马周给了许多有用的建议,所以唐太宗给了他一个职位,并多次赞扬他。根据空后的“advice”可知,空缺处用use的形容词useful“有用的”,故填useful。
【74题详解】
句意:《论语》中也有同样的观点。根据空后的“same idea”可知,空缺处用定冠词the表特指,首字母大
写,故填The。
