Answer the questions according to the following passage.
Who help you most in your everyday life, families, charities, or friends? Don’t forget about your neighbors! Neighbors help you more than anyone else in your daily life. So it is important to have good neighbors.
What does it take to be a good neighbor? Here is some advice on how to be a good neighbor. Good fences(栅栏) make good neighbors. (1) One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is to respect(尊重) a person’s privacy（隐私）. If you go rushing over as soon as new neighbors move in, they may think you are going to come over at all hours of the day, not respecting their privacy.
It is always a good idea to be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. This can not only put you on good term(关系和睦) with them, but will also be a kind of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out to work, they will think you respect them. If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for anything wrong 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 their hour of need. If you see that your neighbors are in need of a helping hand, it is good to offer your help. They will do the same if you are in trouble.
In a word, if you respect a person’s privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are__(2)_____, you will be a great neighbor and anyone would be happy to have you next door! 把（1）处划线部分译成汉语。
