五、阅读与表达。
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
I'm Li Ming. I live in a nice neighbourhood in the countryside. There's a school, a flower shop, a hospital, two bookshops and a big supermarket in it. My neighbours are kind and helpful. Some of them are volunteers. They have many kinds of skills and often help us with all kinds of problems.
Usually there is a “helping hands” meeting at the weekend at the community centre. We can go there when we need help with our problems. Computer engineers are popular. They help us check our computers. We can also find someone to fix things like broken washing machines or fridges. From time to time some lawyers help us learn about laws.
Students can get help with their homework. There are some college students among the volunteers and they are always ready to help. Volunteers also help the old people. Some of them often visit the old people and do some shopping for them. Sometimes some volunteers help the old people tidy their flats.
Just as the saying goes, “Close neighbours are better than distant relatives.” In the neighbourhood we are like a big family. To us, the home is not only the house we live in, but also the neighbourhood we belong to. We all work hard to make it an even better place. I'm very lucky to live in such a lovely neighbourhood.
