Unit 5

Neighbours

sun in the neighbour’s yard. The neighbour tried to communicate about the

problem, but was met with a wall of silence and quickly closed doors.

14. My father is being sued by his neighbour for building up a 6-foot-tall wood

fence between his neighbour’s property and his own. There was an existing

4-foot-tall wood fence, but my father decided to tear that down and put up a new

one. The result is: good fences make bad neighbours.

classmates made on weekends, the university quickly adopted a new noise policy

office.

11. In some countries,

if you pick up a wallet containing a handsome amount of money that does not

belong to you,

and you keep it, you won’t really be prosecuted.

if he dishonestly takes property belonging to another

a lost and found office will typically be a clearly-marked box

or room in a location near the main entrance.

16. Some lost and found offices will try to contact the owners of any lost items

if there are any personal identifiers available.

Practically all will either sell,

give or throw away items after a certain period has passed to clear their

storage.

and varied collection of articles.

Transport for London’s lost property offices (which handle items lost on the

city’s tube,

buses and taxis) handles over 130,000 items a year,

including 24,000 bags and 10,000 mobile phones.

18. In China, the law clearly stipulates

that lost property should be returned to its rightful owner.

Those who find a misplaced article should inform the owner or the person

who lost it,

or hand it in to relevant authorities, within 20 days of the property being

found.

19. Those who offer a reward for returned property should pay up as agreed.

Lost property reverts to the State if nobody claims it.

But some people say it goes against the traditional Chinese virtue of

“returning to the owner what one has picked up (拾金不昧).”

20. Some Chinese finders feel it is their right to keep property of little value.

For more valuable property they think

they have the right to claim a certain amount as a handling fee,

and would expect to receive a reward.

21. A young security guard from the countryside, who earned only 300 yuan a

month,

found a wallet containing 80,000 yuan in cash and other valuables whilst on

yet to explain the former in natural terms.

3. Skepticism is essentially a way of evaluating other people’s beliefs and

forming your own.

4. Skeptics believe that in matter of the intellect, we ought to follow our

reason so far as it is possible.

Skepticism does not necessarily preclude belief in God or an afterlife. It may

be true that most skeptics are atheists and doubt the possibility of an afterlife.

in God because of the psychological benefits of doing so.

to the development of science.

inside the service module exploded.

18. On 19th December 1972 the return of the astronauts aboard Apollo 17

after the 6th successful Moon landing marked the end of the Apollo era.

19. Over the past thirty years, many people have been persuaded that the

in history.

the Apollo Moon landings were faked are wrong or just mad.

21. My present interest in Apollo is historical I love the details of how and

why the Apollo spacecraft worked as well as the details of the lunar exploration.

22. I watch astronauts carrying out experiments, picking up Moon rocks,

taking pictures and so forth, especially during the last few flights to the Moon.

23. But it wasn’t until later that I really understood how and why they

would pick a particular rock to sample or crater to visit.
