Read the passage and then choose the best answer to the following questions.
A recent survey shows that Britons hate their neighbors. The results are alarming. 80% of the people who took part in the survey feel that their neighbors are inconsiderate. 25% don’t talk to the people who live next door and 10% don’t even know their names. In fact, one million householders in Britain would like to move because of the people that live next door.
The biggest cause of friction is noise. Many of the complaints about noise came from people who live in flats and divided houses. The other major problems are arguments about car parking spaces, and old people complaining about the young.
inconsiderate (adj) : thiếu quan tâm/ survey (n) : khảo sát/ friction (n) : sự xích mích
