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. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm 12. insure 14. in our favor 16. count on18.
