He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down six feet in a hole.From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend right between the eyes.Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2) Deadbolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4) Small notices warning against burglary are monly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasant of homes.5) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to largesize panies.6) Airport security uses electronic Xray equipment to guard against terrorism.7) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.PartsParagraphsMain IdeasPart OneParas 13In America, the era of leaving the front door on the latch has drawn to a close.Part TwoParas 415A new atmosphere of fear and distrust has crept into every aspect of daily life.

Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to e in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to breakins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Appendix I 107 Part III TextBComprehension Check1. b3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(JE Appendix III)Language Practice1. impact 3. draw the line at 5. circumstance 7. take the plunge9. aggressive11. advocated13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. remend6.
