A young couple that had received many valuable wedding(结婚) presents built their house in

a suburb. One morning they received in the post two tickets for a popular show in the city,

with a single line:

“Guess who sent them.”

The couple had much amusement in trying to find out the kind person who gave them the

tickets, but failed in the effort. They attended the theatre, and had a pleasant time. On their

returning home late at night, still trying to guess who in the world had sent them the tickets,

they found their house rid of everything valuable. And on the table in the kitchen was a piece

of paper on which was written in the same hand as the note with the tickets.

Sam “Fingers” had been in trouble all his life. He’d started stealing things when he was only

a kid. He used to walk through the street market near his home and “pick up” a few things—an apple, or a hairbrush perhaps. But things got worse as Sam got older. By the time

he was twenty-five, he was spending a lot of time stealing and then he got caught. While he

was in prison he decided that he’d never steal again. He really had to stop.

On his first day out of prison, Sam went for a walk along the High Street. It was so nice to

walk along in the crowds and looked at the shops. Oh, the shops!

“I’ll just go into this jeweler’s and have a look around,” Sam said to himself. “There’s

nothing to worry about. No more stealing for me.” Then Sam saw the diamond ring. He’d

always wanted to give one to his girlfriend. And nobody was looking. In a minute the ring

was in his pocket and Sam was walking out of the shop. But as he went towards the door he

felt a hand on his shoulder, “I shall have to call the police.”

“I’ll pay for it. Yes, I’ll pay for it,” said Sam.

With a smile, the manager handed him the bill: 500!

“Err, um, well…” said Sam. “I really didn’t want to spend that much. Would you please show

me something a little cheaper?”

What are some of the steps a person can take to prevent his house from being broken in while

he or she is away? One step is to make sure that the house has a live-inlook. Living room

shades could be pulled down only half-away. Bedrooms that usually have the shades pulled

down at night should be left down. Another is to make sure that all outside looks are the

dead-belt(带) type. Still another is to leave several low-watt(瓦) lights burning and make sure

that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turn on and off automatically(自动地) are the best. Then,

too, it is a good idea to leave a radio turned into a talking station. Any type of conversation

makes a burglar(盗贼) think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on vacation, make sure that nothing collected in the front or back of the house. Make certain that the

newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbor has been asked to pick up the posts.

7．What is the meaning of “live-in” in this passage?

A．Worn out. B．Lively and cheerful.

C．Fed on. D．Presently taken by people.

8．The author advises people to ________.

A．pull the living-room shades down at night

B．leave a guard dog tied up on the property (财产)

C．ask a neighbor to pick up the daily post

D．make sure the newspaper is delivered

9．The most important room to leave a light burning in is the ________.

A．bedroom B．bathroom C．living-room D．kitchen

10．Why is it a good idea to leave the radio turned to a talking station?

A．So one won’t feel lonely or afraid.

B．So a burglar can’t be sure whether or not there’s a person in the house.
