2017届高测试第部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） （15小题；2分，30分） A I hate nosy () neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.
