1 Name: N o : English quiz Quiz1 / October2014 Class : Grade 9(a,b,c,d) Duration : 50min Obj: Maintain info/tenses Directions: Read the passage. Then answer questions about the passage below. Neighbours from Hell. I used to think my little corner of urban England was somewhere I could get away from the stress and strain of modern-day life - until they - moved in next door. There are two of them. They are white, woolly and probably have sharp teeth as well as a loud bark. But every time their constant, barking interrupts my sleep, I remind myself that, in many respects, I am lucky. The neighbours don't hold all-night parties, nor do they shout or throw crockery at each other, and though their dogs may bark, they don't bite. According to a recent consumer magazine report on `nightmare neighbours', dogs are the fifth most common source of bad relations between neighbours. Noise of any description heads the list of complaints, followed by DIY * enthusiasts, parking disputes. and arguments over house extensions. So what alternatives are there? One is to take legal action. But this can be timeconsuming and expensive and does nothing to improve already difficult relationships. The other alternatives are to sell up and go, or to try to reach a solution with the help of someone neutral. Mediation UK - the United Nations equivalent of garden fence conflicts - was set up in 1984 to help resolve community disagreements. The Bristol-based charity acts as an umbrella organisation for 60 regional groups, which are staffed by trained volunteers. In most cases, officers find that lack of communication is the main cause of conflict and that peace can be negotiated. David Nation of Plymouth Mediation points to poor public housing and widespread unemployment as additional factors. He also reports more cases of complaints from people who live in flats. Large houses built in the nineteenth century and designed as single-occupation family homes have, he says, been converted into flats with little or no attention to sound insulation. Dividing walls are paper thin and hardly block out sound at all. Buyers can also be put off by the external appearance of neighbouring houses. Anything from wild, uncared for gardens to unusual external colour schemes can put off buyers - even though the offending property is next door. But it could be worse. John Gladden, of Norburv in Surrey upset his neighbours in St Oswald's Road by mounting a huge fish in fibreglass and putting it on the roof of his house. The local council argued that he should have got planning permission; residents thought the fish did nothing to improve the appearance of the neighbourhood, and war broke out. Gladden defended his right of self-expression and proceeded to install an inflatable Santa Claus and a replica tank. Sightseers poured in and homes near the suburban property can now be hard to sell.
2 As most problems offend the ears rather than the eyes it's surprising that. so few buyers take the trouble to check out their future neighbours. Estate agents* recommend making frequent visits to the area - preferably at varying times of the day and night. It is pointless, after all, to expect people who are trying to sell their house to give an objective view of their neighbours. I recently went to view a house which looked promising - until 1 saw thee neighbouring zoo. I decided l could live with the birds, the rabbits and the cats, but when I spotted the dogs l had my doubts. 'Do the alsatians next door bother you at all?' I asked. `No, no,' they replied, `not at all.' `Oh yes they do,' insisted their six-year-old son. `They bark all night and keep us awake.' Another lucky escape. Comprehension Read the article and answer the following: (5pts) 1- Why doesn't the writer like her next-door neighbours' dogs? 2 According to the report what do most people argue with their neighbours about? 3- What does the article say about Mediation UK? 4-According to the article, why do some people decide not to buy a house? 5-Why didn t the writer decide not to buy the house?
