問題詳情

請依下文回答第 43 題至第 46 題：New Yorkers are not notably genial neighbors. Many get to know one another solely by what manages to permeatetheir deadbolted doors—an odoriferous stew, the wail of a child, the hushed sighs of intimate moments.But the boom in condos loaded with amenities, along with the construction of some high-end rental buildings, hascreated opportunities for neighbors to make the transition from polite elevator nods to cocktail-caliber mingling. Moreand more properties in the city feature community amenities like gyms, lounges, and roof decks. These, and more novelspaces—cinemas, wet bars, squash courts, outdoor rain showers, are putting lounges with a lonely television set to shame,and they are fostering a clubby college-dormitory atmosphere in several developments.“We’re extremely social creatures, and I think people in New York suffer from an inability to really interact withpeople,” said Susan Meiklejohn, associate professor of urban planning at Hunter College. This is not because NewYorkers are cold, Dr. Meiklejohn said, but because the city is so dense that people avoid one another to establish bufferzones. “What level of friendliness can you possibly sustain each day if you have to say hello to everybody you meet on34th Street?” she said. The design of many new buildings, however, are gradually making New Yorkers venture beyondtight-lipped hellos at the mailbox.
