In pioneer days, being a good neighbor was very important. Neighbors helped one another raise a house, build a barn(谷仓), and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, neighboring is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live dose by.
We live in ma age of machines, and each family may have its own ear, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did.
Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out their washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed their lawns. Today, women stay in the house with their automatic(自动的) driers. The men can’t hear anything above the roar of their power lawn mowers. And the children are inside watching their favorite TV shows.
Is the idea of being neighborly old-fashioned? In 1985, a power failure hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left stranded(因住,滞溜). Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and our largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other persons helped direct traffic. Trapped in elevator, people played word games and helped keep each other in good spirit.
In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being good neighbors is important.
选项
A、The other families might not even know a family that lived close by in the past.
B、We live in an age of machines when machines can do everything.
C、Neighboring is not as common as it used to be.
D、Everyone shared the same problem -- power is not enough for daily use.
答案
C
解析
[A]与文章第一段第二句描述的事实不符,且与该段最后一句也不符;[B]意思太绝对,根据常识就可以排除;[C]与第一段第四句话的意思相符,是正确答案;[D]中的power只在第四段的例子中出现过,但例子说的是停电后人们相互帮助,并未涉及能源是否充足的问题,与该选项意思没有关联。
