The BBC's iPM radio program asks its listeners for interesting questions. In response, a listener asked the following question: "I would like to ask a question about the relationships among neighbors. I mean those people who live in your immediate neighborhood. Many people we have spoken to have said they don't know any of their immediate neighbors." What about you? Do you know any of your immediate neighbors, in the sense of something more than exchanging "Good morning" or "Good afternoon", for example? A research group carried out an investigation and asked people how well they know their neighbors and this is what the research group discovered. Surprisingly, 77 percent of people say they know their neighbors. It also emerged that if they live in a house, regardless of town or rural area, a massive 80 percent of them know their neighbors. However, the figure drops to 75 percent if they're in a flat. The survey also revealed that people appear to get friendlier as they get older. In fact, only 64 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds know their neighbors, but for people aged 55-64 this number climbs to 88 percent. Interestingly enough, it turns out that men are a little less likely to say they know their neighbors than women, and the rich are closer to their neighbors than the less well-off. This topic was very popular with lots of BBC listeners and provoked plenty of comments on the BBC's iPM website. One of the listeners said, "I only really got to know my neighbors when their house caught fire. We're good friends now." Another one recalled, "When we moved into our house three years ago, the first remark our neighbor made was, 'So, you're moving in? I hope you don't have noisy kids.' We reassured him we had no children and tried to make conversation but with no success."【缺少答案,请补充】
