late regrets阅读理解答案
Seventeen－year－old Quinterro stood at the edge of the mountain pass high above the city of Lima, Peru. He aimed his binoculars(双筒望远镜) at the city below. Quinterro scanned(眺望) the streets and the buildings, letting the binoculars bring the busy place into focus for him.
Lowering the binoculars, Quinterro looked back at his family. He sighed as he thought of his life, day after day, watching the llamas(美洲驼). Operating a llama caravan(旅行队) wasn’t exciting ...
“Quint！” His older brother Ireneo’s voice interrupted his thoughts. “I’ve told you a million times to pay attention！”
Quinterro aimed the binoculars toward the mountain pass only to e that another caravan had reached the clearing. The new llamas smelled the other animals and ran wildly. Quinterro watched as a girl his age chad after one of the jumpy animals. Quinterro and Ir
eneo led the llamas back to the clearing. Quinterro glanced around until he spotted the girl he had been watching earlier. She emed to be making friends with the llamas, saying something to the animals gently.
“My name is Marta，” the girl said as Quinterro approached. Quinterro introduced himlf. “Do you do this all the time？” she asked.
“My family does. I help out during school breaks，” Quinterro said.
Marta smiled. “I live in the city. This place looks so beautiful from below.”
Quinterro stared at her, disbelieving what he had heard.
“The city looks so different from up here，” Marta said as she looked down.
Quinterro took the binoculars from around his neck. “Try the.”
He pasd the binoculars to Marta and then turned to look down at the city. When not magnified(放大), the city looked smaller and duller.
“I think they’re broken，” Marta said.
Curious, Quinterro reached for the binoculars and held them to his eyes. The bushes in front of him were huge like green mountains. He aimed the binoculars at the llamas, at the mountain pass, and then at his family. Everything emed bigger, clor, and more defined.
Next, he aimed the binoculars at the city below. It was completely out of focus. Quinterro adjusted the lens(镜头). With a smile, he handed the binoculars back to Marta. “They’re not broken，” Quinterro said. “It depends on how you look through them.”五倍子的功效

The loud music that his neighbours keep playing is not easy to deal with, says Yoo Seung－joo, a 21－year－old who lives in a block of flats in Seoul. “I call the curity guard to tell them to keep it down and that usually doesn’t work.”
Mr Yoo is not the only South Korean suffering from noisy neighbours. In a country where around two－thirds of people live in sound－carrying high－ri apartment blocks, “noi between floors” is such a well－established problem that there is a national centre devoted to dealing with it. The centre registers complaints and offers mediation(调解) through a range of committees to prevent lawsuits and perhaps even patch_up neighbourly relations.
Resolving them is not easy, not least becau large numbers of people em to be driven mad by the mere existence of their neighbours. Nearly two－thirds of the complaints the centre received last year were related to children running or adults simply walking in the flat upstairs. Total silence being an unreasonable expectation, mediation often ends with people being told they have to put up with the noi, says a lawyer reprenting tho who wish to take their complaints to court. Even if they win, compensation(赔偿) is small.
The government, which last mandated(规定) thicker floors in new buildings in 2013, is considering requiring them to be thicker still. But that will not help residents of older flats. With few options to ttle matters, long－suffering apartment residents sometimes take them into their own hands. Kwon Seo－woon, who suspects her upstairs neighbours practi basketball and golf in their apartment, says hitting the ceiling has worked on occasion. Lee Sun, who is bothered by the noi of her neighbours’ children, says she is considering putting up a notice in the lift to shame them publicly.
