Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions.

The people who live in a neighborhood are neighbors. They live next door to each other. They live across the hall and across the street from each other. They might work at the stores and other businesses in the neighborhood. Sometimes they know each other. Other times, they do not. Unfortunately, not all neighborhoods provide safe and decent places to live. Some people are forced to stay in run-down or unsafe neighborhoods because they cannot afford to move. Some neighborhoods are in very bad shape. Buildings are falling apart. Sometimes landlords and homeowners do not keep their properties in good repair. Sometimes people cannot afford to fix their properties. Some people are not proud of neighborhoods where all the buildings are run-down. Housing prices have risen for many years. Wages for many people have stayed low for many years. Because of both these things, many people cannot afford good housing. In some run-down neighborhoods, the crime rate is high. The neighborhood is unsafe for families. In some poor neighborhoods, the neighbors are sick of crime. They want to live in safety. Some of these neighbors form groups called Neighborhood Watches. A Neighborhood Watch is a group of neighbors who meet with police officers and come up with a plan to fight crime in their neighborhood. People also form other groups to improve their neighborhoods. They might form a group to help each other make repairs to their homes. They might form a group to help a neighbor who is sick or injured. They might meet to plan a neighborhood party or barbecue. Neighborhood groups celebrate the strengths of a neighborhood. They solve neighborhood problems. They create pride in a neighborhood. There also are outside programs that help people improve their neighborhoods.
