The first few days after you quit, spend as much free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited, e.g. libraries, museums, theatres, department stores, etc. Drink large quantities of water and fruit juice.

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可能的 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愿意的 to take the time to help out a neighbor in need.In conclusion，if you respect a persons 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!27When someone moves into your neighborhood you should.Avisit them as often as possible Bshow respect for themClearn about some of their privacy Davoid meeting them28If you are getting along well with your neighbors you can.Ahave your own privacy Boften visit their yardCmake close friends with them Dkeep your family members safe29Whats the main idea of the fourth paragraph?ANeighbors should help each other.BEverybody probably gets into trouble.CNeighbors should respect each other.DA friend in need is a friend indeed.30In the opinion of the author，neighbors should always be.Ahelpful，strong and kind Bhonest，active and friendlyCrespectful，friendly and helpful Dpolite，honest and kindD根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Food safety is a problem in all places around the world and people in different areas of the world prepare foods in different ways.
