V READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago andthe 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 veryobviously empty This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected Aburglar 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 signsthat 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 centre or computer is enough to temptany 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 any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting securitylights to the outside of your house
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to
Trang 3target your home Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders Downstairs windowsprovide 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 smallyour windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through Forextra 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 topquality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install a burglar alarm ifyou 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 ofbreaking 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 are genuine Ask to see an identitycard, 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

I READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago andthe 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 veryobviously empty This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected Aburglar 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 signsthat 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 centre or computer is enough to temptany 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 any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting securitylights 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 windowsprovide 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 smallyour windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through Forextra 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 topquality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install a burglar alarm ifyou 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 ofbreaking 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 are genuine Ask to see an identitycard, 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
