Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary(入室行窃) and assault(人身攻击).
Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate but it is only too easy to imagine “It will never happen to me.” Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.
Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect our house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simply to operate and easily affordable.
You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into so easily as they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.
Send now for our free leaflet(传单) telling you how we can Protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply. Complete and tear off the slip(纸片) below and post it to us. Postage is free. Alternatively, telephone us at *** where we have a round-the-clock answering service. It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarms.

Researches say people traveling in traffic are three times more likely to suffer a heart attack. They say the risk of a heart attack is greatest within an hour of being in traffic.
The findings are based on a German study of almost 700 people who suffered heart attacks. The patients described their activities during the four days before their heart attack. Researchers found that those who had been in traffic were three times more likely to have a heart attack within one hour, compared to those who had not been in traffic. Most of those in the study had been traveling by car. But some had been on bicycles and others were on buses.
Research shows that people in cars and buses are exposed to ten times the amount of pollutants as people walking on the street. That is largely because they breathe in the particles and gasses released from the vehicles in front of them.
Over time, these small particles speed the buildup of a sticky substance in the blood. This can cause blockages(阻塞) to form in the arteries(动脉) around the heart and lead to a heart attack.
Other studies have also linked heart trouble to stress, similar to the kind that people face while driving in heavy traffic. But the researchers of the latest study say they do not know whether the increased heart attack risk was the result of stress or pollution. They suggest it may be a combination of stress, noise and pollution. Experts say the research shows the need fro cleaner vehicles and better city planning.
6. According to the study, which of the following ways is the safest in traffic?
A. Driving a car B. Walking on the street
C. Taking a bus D. Riding a bicycle
7. From among the 700 people who suffered heart attacks we learn that ______.
A. those who have been in traffic are three times as many as those who have not
B. those who have been in traffic for more than one hour are most likely to suffer heart attacks
C. the risk of a heart attack is three higher among those who have been in traffic than those who have not
D. Most of the subjects (实验对象) felt uncomfortable during the four days before the attack
8. The particles released from vehicles ______.
A. build up in the blood
B. become blockages in the arteries
C. make the blood more sticky
D. do harm to the heart
9. According to the studies, which of the following is NOT a likely cause of heart attack?
A. Stress B. Noise C. Air pollution D. Traffic accident
10. What suggestion do experts make to lower the risk?
A. Reducing traffic as much as possible.
B. Living away from nose.
C. Planting more trees in the city.
D. Making vehicles clean.

We are all called upon to make a speech sometime in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. We may get nervous, forget what we want to say, or talk too long and bore our audience. Later we may think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech-making. First of all, it is important to plan. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech.
Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? There are many possible speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics. Don’t spoil your speech by confusing one speaking role with another.
When you are making your speech, try to relax. Speak slowly and clearly and look at people in your audience. Use simple vocabulary and expressions whenever possible. Pause for a few seconds now and then to give your audience a chance to think about what you have said.
If you follow these steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking.
