B Three people in Greenwood Community are voting for the best neighbour of the
year. Read their choices and answer the questions.
Anne
I think Mrs Jiang is the best neighbour because she's always ready to help
others. Last week, a watermelon farmer tried to sell watermelons at the
gate of our community. Mrs Jiang wanted to help the farmer and bought
all his watermelons. Then, Mrs Jiang gave away all the watermelons to her
neighbours so they wouldn't go bad. Mrs Jiang helped the farmer, and we
got a taste of the sweet watermelons!
Brian
In my opinion, David is the best neighbour because he's always kind. I drive
a big car, but our community's underground car park has small parking
spaces. David's parking space is next to my space, and he has a smaller
car than mine. David always parks his car close to the wall, so I can have
more space for my car. He's really helpful, and that is why I choose him.
Danielle
Eric is the best neighbour of the year because he really cares about others.
One morning before I went to work, I hung my clothes on the balcony. It
started to rain in the afternoon, and I couldn't go back home to put the
clothes away. But when I got home, my clothes were dry. Eric lives above me,
and he put up umbrellas on his balcony so my clothes wouldn't get wet. How
kind of him!

3. On his balcony.
4. David.
5. They are all kind, helpful and care about others.

1. 根据Anne的描述，Jiang夫人为帮助瓜农买下了他所有的西瓜；2. 根据Brian的描述，David总是把车停得靠近墙面，为Brian的大车留出更多停车空间；3. 根据Danielle的描述，Eric在自己的阳台上撑起了伞；4. 对比三人的事例，只有David的帮助行为是经常性的（always），因此他是每天都在帮助他人的邻居；5. 三位最佳邻居的共同点是他们都友善、乐于助人且关心他人。
