a. through his observation of the country life.b. through the combination of different ideas.c. by taking other peoples advice.d. by using the nickname of the reconstructed chicago.63. the underlined phrase drawing on “in paragraph 1 probably means_.a. making use of b. making comments onc. giving an explanation of d. giving a description of64. according to howard, garden cities should be built_.a. as far as possible from existing citiesb. in the countryside where the land was cheapc. in the countryside where agriculture was developedd. near cities where employment opportunities already existed65. what can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?a. their number would continue to rise.b. each one would continue to become larger.c. people would live and work in the same place.d. each one would contain a certain type of business.66. what could be the best title for the passage?a. city and countrysideb. the invention of the garden cityc. a new city in chicagod. a famous garden city in englandd neighbors play an important role in our lives. their lifestyle, friends, and social habits can have a strong influence on our lives. so its a good idea to get along well with neighbors and build a better relationship that will last for many years to come. but how should you get along with your neighbors?when you hear of a special need you can meet, do it, such as sitting with a sick child while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctors appointment when their car wont start.if you hear that someone close by is ill, has had an accident, or is out of work, give him a hot meal or a fresh dessert. your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time. if your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him/her. there is no better way to build relationship. besides, you never know when the favor might be returned.exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions. invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch. a backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun. if theyve watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events.plan a party. invite all your neighbors to your party. planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other.your neighbors are like your family in many ways since you have to live with them, or near them, for a long time. appreciate their strong points and ignore weak points, and everyone will get along well.67. according to the passage, to build a good relationship with your neighbors, you should_. a. do housework for them when they are sick b. try to give them a helping hand c. give them a good job if theyre out of work d. lend them money when their parents are ill68. what does the passage mainly talk about?
