阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

    What are some of the steps a person can take to prevent his house　　 from being burglarized (盗窃) while he is away? One step is to make　　 sure that the house has a lived-in lock. Living-room curtains should　　 be pulled down only half way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains　　 pulled down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that　　 outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险). Still another is　　 to leave several 100w lights burning and make sure that one is in the　　 kitchen. Lights that turn on and off by themselves are the best. Then,　　 too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a　　 talking station. Any type of speaking makes a burglar (a thief) think　　 twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on vacation, make　　 sure that nothing collects in the front or in back of the house.　　 Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a　　 trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the mail (邮件). Burglars　　 are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overfilled mail　　 boxes.
