indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

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 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 not leave any curtains wide open The sight of your latest music center or computer is enough to tempt any burglar

Never leave a spare key in 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 neighbor 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 any

potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house

But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, 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 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 officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so that you scrutinize callers at your leisure 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 should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help

Question 44: 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

Question 45: 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

Question 46: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or in a flower pot

A is predictable B is useful

C is imaginative D is where you always find a spare key

Question 47: What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?

A isolated B populous C dissatisfying D depressing

Question 48: Gaining 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

Question 49: 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

Question 50: 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

_ Misfortunes never come alone!
