Two ladies living in opposite apartments say "hello" when they meet each other in the corridor. One of them says, "I moved here five years ago, I never met you before. Could I ask your name please?" The other says, "I (be) here for six years. How should I call you?"
It seems very ridiculous people living so near don't know each other for such a long time. However, you can find this kind of story (perform) everywhere. It is the exact (reflect) of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time watching TV or reading magazines. They don't have any connections even with their (close) neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet every day in street.
This phenomenon is no good to us, nor to our society. People will feel more and more lonely. The world becomes so indifferent. It's time that we (take) some measures to improve it. People living in the same place can (organize) to have some activities. We should call on people to be friendly to each other.
