Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20
years ago and the 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 very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one
which is well-protected. A burglar 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 signs that 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 tempt any 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 security lights 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 windows provide 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 small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a
determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra 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 top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent.
Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the
trouble of breaking 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 identity card, 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. Far better to telephone the
police and wait for help.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
HEALTHY LIVING FOR TEENAGERS
Food
In a recent government survey on healthy eating teens scored only 5 out of 10 (8 indicated a
healthy diet and 6 a "passable" one). Only 1 in 10 teens eats the recommended amount of fruit and
the only vegetable that many teens eat is "chips". Most teens in the developed world are eating too
much but are still not getting the vital nutrients to help them grow and stay healthy. More
information about nutrition and healthy eating is needed to help young people eat properly. Teens
who diet often cut out food they need, such as bread or milk, because they think it is fattening. Others
don't know what foods to choose in the school canteen in order to have a balanced diet. There is a
saying "you are what you eat". So if you want to become the next David Beckham then you'd better
start eating properly.
Exercise

Lack of money in schools plus increased pressure to do well in the course exams means that
teenagers are doing less sport in school than ever before. Girls, in particular, are more likely to suffer
from lack of exercise and up to 4 in 10 girls stop playing sports in their early teenage years. Just
because you aren't sporty doesn't mean you can't be active. Walk or cycle to school instead of taking
the bus. Help at home with the housework or gardening. Go dancing with your friends. There are lots
of ways you can stop being a couch potato!
Sleep
If "we are what we eat" then sleep is like food for the brain. Teens need at least 9 hours' sleep
every night and even mild sleepiness can affect your performance, humour and health. Lack of sleep
can make you tired, angry or depressed. Nearly 40% of secondary school students go to bed after 11
p.m. on school nights and 15% of teens say they have fallen asleep during class. In the USA some
schools are starting classes at 10 a.m. so that teens can get some extra sleep. These schools have
noticed an improvement in their students' work.

A. don't have enough information about healthy eating and lifestyle.
