Almost all theme park accidents can be prevented．Here, based on coverage of theme park safety, are some tips to help you and your family stay safe on your next visit.

If you are visiting with a child, take a moment to explain the ride to them, and tell them what they should do．They are depending upon you to keep them safe．Set a good example for them by following the rules of the park, and make sure that they know you expect them to follow those rules, too.

Tell them to stay seated, to hold the grab bar or put their hands in the laps, and not to stick their knees and feet outside a ride vehicle．Make them look to you for the okay to get on or off a ride, too．And never put a crying child on a ride．If your child starts to cry, let others pass you in line until your child is calmed．Or, gently exit the queue and find something more relaxing to do． 

Young kids can’t keep an adult’s pace in a theme park．Let them take plenty of breaks.

“Kids get tired,” said TPI reader Matt Johnson, a father of four．“Tired kids make parents even more tired．And tired kids and parents may get hurt — physically and emotionally.” He advises that parents plan a mid-day break, perhaps a swim back at the hotel, to avoid mid-day heat and crowds．“You will see cranky families having a miserable time while you are refreshed and having a great evening.”

1.The second paragraph tells readers that ________.

  A．children should be trained to be more independent

      B．adults should tell children some safety rules firstly

      C．adults should set a good example to conduct well in a theme park

      D．there is a danger to take young children to visit a theme park

2.Which of the following is NOT right for children who are taking the rides?

      A．They cannot put their hands away from the grab bar.

      B．They are forbidden to put their knees or feet out.

      C．They should ask adults’ permission first to get on a ride.

      D．Without adults’ okay sign, children shouldn’t get off a ride.

3.If your child begins to cry just when he is going to take a ride, you should ________.

      A．tell him to be relaxed                        B．make him share your interest

      C．give up the present activity               D．encourage him to be brave

4.We may infer from Matt Johnson’s words that ________.

      A．he doesn’t like to visit a theme park with his children

      B．parents with many children may be tired of visiting a theme park

      C．not all the families are relaxed or happy when they visit a theme park

      D．visitors should arrange everything carefully before starting

5.What is the meaning of the underlined word “exit” in the third paragraph?

     A．等待               B．发现               C．进入               D．离开

Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house and possessions are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary(夜盗;抢劫) and attack.

Figures show an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine "It will never happen to me"．Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.

Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do．Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

You must remember that owning a burglar alarm is no indication(暗示) that your house is packed with valuable possessions．It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.

根据短文内容，从下框的A – F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it.

1.When you hear a person’s name and want to remember it, repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also say the name again in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

2.You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

3.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say “I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

4.    When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names．Free yourself from remembering every one．Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names．Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names．Last names can come later.

5.    Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes．Sometimes just a few people show up on time．There are fewer names for you to remember．And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others — an automatic review for you.
