These days,many people don't know their neighbors.Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello,but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!When you don't know someone,it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair.You think,"Maybe they like to make me angry,"or"Maybe they do it on purpose."Believe it or not,your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate you.Often,they don't even know that they're making you feel angry.So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem,you should discuss it with them first.
When you move towards your neighbors,you should talk to them in a friendly manner.Praise their children to make them feel good.Then explain the situation.And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem,suggest it.
If talking doesn't work,ask another person to help,This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation.

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar(北极) bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world.
