請依下文回答第 43 題至第 46 題：New Yorkers are not notably genial neighbors.

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.

The design of many new buildings, however, are gradually making New Yorkers venture beyondtight-lipped hellos at the mailbox.
