A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes
Trang 5The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which isvery 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 Avoidleaving signs that your house is empty When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as aradio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open The sight of your latest music centre orcomputer 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 thedoormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by theintruder 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 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 Downstairswindows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up thedrainpipe Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked Nomatter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar canmanage 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, shouldhave top quality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install aburglar 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 thetrouble 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 you can scrutinise callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they aregenuine 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 anintruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police andwait for help
71 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
72 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 goout
73 The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot …………
C is imaginative D is where you always find a spare key
74 What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?
75.What word best replaces “aforementioned” in paragraph 5?
76 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
77 According 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
78 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
Trang 679 What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7?
80 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

There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic Avoidleaving signs that your house is empty When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as aradio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open The sight of your latest music centre orcomputer 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 thedoormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by theintruder 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 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 Downstairswindows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up thedrainpipe Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked Nomatter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar canmanage 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, shouldhave top quality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install aburglar 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 thetrouble 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 you can scrutinise callers at your leisure.
When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they aregenuine 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 anintruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police andwait for help
