    “You can have the same neighbours for years,” the old man said. “You love them or you think you love them. And you hope that they love you. But do you really understand them?”
“Charlie Kemp and his family lived next door to me for fifteen years. We were good friends for all that time. I enjoy friendship-I’m sure it’s the best thing in the world. And friendship with the Kemps was easy because they seemed to welcome it.”
“They were interesting and intelligent people; their home caught fire twice, and twice the whole family slept in my home.They were always losing things…money ,keys, or watches. Pictures fell off the walls; the children fell out of beds…”
“I was their neighbour and their friend. Life was always interesting, never dull. Best of all I liked the whole family.”
“One day, I lit a fire in the garden and was burning some rubbish. After a while Charlie Kemp came out of his house and walked up the road.”
“’Morning Charlie,’ I said’ Lovely day, isn’t it’? He smiled at me and nodded. I went on with my work.”
“Twenty minutes later a policeman arrived. He walked into my garden and said,’ You’ll have to put out the fire. Your neighbour has complained to us. He doesn’t like the smell.’”
“My neighbour…?” I said
“Yes,” the policeman said .He took out his notebook and read, “Charlie Kemp. He lives next door ,doesn’t he?”

    If you are planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors. Every one has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live are not always home to the best schools. Finally many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study .However, if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
    Now I am sure that you know which schools are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states are the best to live in.
    California is a nice state. Northern California specially has very good weather. Los Angeles in southern California is another storey though. Life in Los is full of excitement and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still very nice. My favourite area of America is the Midwest. Middle America , I think is home to the true American senses of values. In addition, there are many good universities there.
    Also, you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably won’t like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature and peace and quite? Then you probably should stay away from America’s larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decided , put some thought into it. The place you live could be the difference between a great study abroad experience and a state of great suffering on earth.
7.  From the first paragraph we can conclude that in the USA________.
A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities   
B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places         
C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places
D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places
8.  What should be considered first if you want to study in the USA?
A. The climate        B. The scenery     
C. The study condition      D. The living condition
9.  From the third paragraph we can find that _______.
A. California is the best place to live in      
B. California is the worst place to live in
C. California is a state with different climates   
D. California is a small state in the USA
10. If you study in Middle America, you can probably_______.
A. find the best universities      B. feel the real character of the nation
