IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU
Many people think there is no need to take special care over home security.
“I’m all right, I’m insured (保险)”
Maybe—if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place on your possessions. But you can’t insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some stranger, our windows and doors broken, our precious possessions ruined.
“It won’t happen to me”
Won’t it? A home is broken into every minute or so of the day. The thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen from cars, happen twice as frequently.
“I’ve nothing worth stealing”
You may think not. But in fact everyone has something worth a thief’s attention. And we all have things of special value to us even if they’re worth little or nothing in cash terms.
“I’m just a tenant (房客) here”
The thief doesn’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner-occupier. You’re just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary.
“They’ll get in anyway”
Most thieves are on the lookout for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into in any quick and easy way. So it’s worth taking care.
“This booklet will help you”
It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer.
If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from the Crillle Prevention Officer at your local police station.
【小题1】Why do you still need to protect your possessions when you’ve already insured them?
A.You tend to undervalue your possessions. |
B.You cannot insure against damage to property. |
C.A robbery can affect your moods at home. |
D.It takes a long time to recover your belongings. |
A.Fix new locks on all the doors. |
B.Discuss the matter with the owner. |
C.Check it up with the police. |
D.Keep careful watch of the house. |
A.prefer stealing from offices |
B.like causing a lot of damage |
C.break into any places they desire |
D.get prevented by perfect guard equipment |
A.have little sense of security |
B.are not properly insured |
C.are worried about home security |
D.have their houses broken into |

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to visit " to "100 books to read ".
Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.
【小题1】According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.
A.is the world’s most popular tourist activity |
B.gives fun to both tourists and dolphins |
C.can cause danger to dolphins |
D.will make tourists busy and tired |
A.It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. |
B.Queuing for hours is worthwhile. |
C.Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough. |
D.It is not as satisfying as expected. |
A.thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists |
B.believes other lists are not humorous enough |
C.intends to persuade people to read more lists |
D.wants to provide a list different from other lists |
A.To introduce a website. |
B.To advertise a book. |
C.To comment on popular lists. |
