A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes. The first fact is that burglars and other intruders (criminals) prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother. There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do notleave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more ‘imaginative’ could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar’s dream, so deter (prevent) any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outsideof your house. But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions ( mentioned earlier), a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders.
Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window. What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders. A sobering (serious) fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property.
Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus ( false not real) officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise ( examine and discover) callers ( visotors) at your leisure (when you want to and when you have time to) . When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example. If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account (never) should you approach the intruder. Far better to telephone the police and wait for help.
1 A well-protected house:
A is less likely to be burgled. B is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.
C is a lot of bother to maintain. D is very unlikely to be burgled.
2 According to the writer, we should: A avoid leaving our house empty. B only go out when we have to.
C always keep the curtains closed. D give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.
3 The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot:
A is a predictable place to hide it. B is a useful place to hide it.
C is imaginative. D is where you always find a spare key.
4Gaining entry to a house through a small window:
A is surprisingly difficult. B is not as difficult as people think.
C is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door. D is tried only by very determined burglars.
5According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms:
A cost a lot of money but are worth it. B are good value for money.
C are luxury items. D are absolutely essential items.
6 The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole:
A will prevent your home being burgled. B avoids you having to invite people into your home.
C is only necessary for elderly people. D gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.
7 The best title for the text is:
A Increasing household crime. B Protecting your home from intruders
C What to do if a burglar breaks into your home. D Burglary statistics.

Electronic technology has produced significant changes in the way that humans interact. Before telephones, computers, and digital pagers, people communicated primarily by writing. We had to sit down, compose our thoughts, and then spend some time writing them down on paper. There was also a delay between the expression of our ideas and their reception on the other end, but folks were patient enough to wait. With technology, however, communication happens in “real time.” We don’t take time beforehand to consider what we want to say, and how to say it best. We Express ourselves directly, and bluntly. Now we are irritated when no one answers the phone, or get overly anxious if we don’t receive an immediate response to an email or page. We want all of our communication to happen instantaneously.
1) The author of this passage probably believes that the effects of technology on human communication are
A) not very important B) mostly negative
C) not well understood D) almost negligible
2) By “Stop putting me on.” the speaker means ;
A) “I prefer to dress myself.” B) “Don’t lie to me.”
C) “I don’t want you to put things on top of me.” D) “Don’t think that I am the same as you are.”
3) The federal government is not ____ any economic problems for the second half of the year; all the indicators are positive.
A) anticipating B) accommodating
C) asphyxiating D) administering
Some people object to ads that encourage sex, gambling, smoking, the consumption of alcohol, and other “vices.” Even people who are not much concerned about such vices are still concerned that ads encourage underaged sex, gambling, smoking, the consumption of alcohol, and other vices. They believe that ads present bad role models. Advertising, some critics say, contributes to the moral breakdown of society because it presents ubiquitous images of unconstrained hedonism. Ethical concerns about ads for gambling, tobacco, and alcohol are often legitimate. Products that are harmful and sometimes addictive raise ethical issues in themselves; encouraging the use of such products is even more questionable. Many countries and states limit, control, or even ban ads for some or all these products.
Violence in advertising would be ethically objectionable if there was much of it, but it is rare. The main exceptions are ads for films and video games, but objections in these cases should be aimed at the violence in the products, not just in the ads. The exposure of unsuspecting people and children to such ads is an issue that should be, and in many jurisdictions is, controlled by regulations on the placement of the ads. Sex in advertising is a much bigger issue because there is so much of it. The ethical issues can be best seen if we separate consideration of sex in ads for products that are connected to sex from consideration of sex in ads where it is gratuitous and has no or only a tenuous connection with the product. Ads for condoms and sex clubs, of course, emphasize sex. Except for puritans, the only ethical issue about these ads is making sure young children are not exposed.
Other products, such as fashions, jeans, underwear, perfume, and chocolate, are related to sex, and advertising is often used to associate a product or logo with sex. Calvin Klein, for example, has built his business on making his clothes and perfumes sexy. Raising ethical objections to this is difficult unless one objects ethically to current sexual mores in most developed countries. Advertising did not cause our liberal attitudes toward sex; the sexual revolution was caused by the pill, penicillin, and other social forces. Any decrease of sex in advertising would probably not change society’s sexual attitudes, so there is no ethical problem with Calvin Klein jeans, underwear, and perfume being thought sexy.
Sex is also used gratuitously in ads for products that have nothing directly to do with sex. We are all familiar with scantily clad women in ads for beer, cigarettes, cars, trucks, and vacation beaches. Note that for the most part these ads are aimed at straight males and use the stereotypical sexy woman—sexy, that is, in the minds and fantasies of straight males. Consider, for example, a two-page ad from a men’s magazine that shows on the first page a woman with huge breasts, clad only in a bikini and posed in a sexually suggestive fashion. The copy asks if her measurements get the reader’s heart racing. Turn the page and there is a pickup truck and the reader is asked to look at the truck’s measurements. Horsepower, torque, and so on are listed. How do such ads work? Their ubiquity in men’s magazines certainly suggests that they do sell cars, trucks, and beer. Such ads seem to say, “If you are a straight male attracted to big breasted women, you can prove it to yourself and others by buying our ‘masculine’ product.” This interpretation presupposes that many straight males are very insecure about their sexual orientation and need to have their masculinity constantly confirmed by buying products with a masculine image. Is this manipulation of insecurities unethical? Perhaps not; straight males are generally capable of freely choosing to buy or not buy these products.
A more serious ethical objection to such ads is the attitude toward women that they imply and encourage. Women in these ads are being used as sex objects. One does not have to be a radical feminist to be concerned about the effects that exposure to thousands of such ads might have on straight men. It does not encourage them to see women as intelligent, productive, and competent individuals. Perhaps the vast majority of straight males are not greatly affected individually, but it does set a social tone about what are acceptable attitudes toward women. And the few men who take the objectification of women as sex objects seriously sometimes commit extremely unethical actions.

Firefighters have had a hard time putting out a big fire near Boulder, Colorado.
It took firefighters a long time to control the fire. It was very windy. One firefighter said that the winds can blow the fire out of the area very easily.
The fire destroyed 65 homes. During the worst part of the fire, people were asked to leave their homes. Police were worried that the empty homes might be looted. They checked every car going in and out of the fire area.
One family returned to their home to find that only a small part of it had been hurt by the blaze. They felt very lucky to be able to repair the damage. The fire had come so close to their house that the girl had to run out with only her teddy bear.
Another family lost only their outdoor toilet. Their cabin had no indoor plumbing so their outhouse was in the yard. They were thankful their home was not burned down.
