ock their cars. It39。s not because there are a lot of criminals running around stealing cars. Rather, it39。s because of the goodhearted neighbors who want to share their harvest. Especially with this year39。s large crop, leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it full of zucchini(西葫蘆). My sisterinlaw, Sharon, recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red. That39。s when she decided it was time to share her blessings. She started calling everyone she knew. When that failed, she began to ask everyone in the neighborhood like a politician, eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes. Feel free to take whatever you want, Sharon told her. She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn39。t go to waste. A few days later, Sharon answered the door. There was the neighbor, holding some bread. The neighbor smiled pleasantly, I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes, and I have to admit that I took a few other things and hope you wouldn39。t mind. Sharon couldn39。t think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said no. Oh, but you did, the neighbor said. You had some of the prettiest zucchini I39。ve ever seen. Sharon was confused. Zucchini in her garden? They hadn39。t even plated any zucchini. But her neighbor insisted that there really were brightgreen zucchini in her garden. The two of them walked together into the backyard. When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables, Sharon smiled, Well, actually, those are cucumbers that we never harvested, because they got too big, soft and bitter for eating or canning. The neighbor looked at Sharon, shock written all over her face. Then she smiled, and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighborhood, I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread. I hope you like it.(1)Why does the author suggest that people in the neighborhood should lock their cars?

But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A Californiabased startup pany was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device (裝置)that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you39。re looking for! It39。s called TrackR Bravo.
