Many 11 in the household could lead to fire disasters, but you could 12 your home against fire by following these tips:
1. Don't plug too many appliances into one outlet. Does the 13 have a strange smell when you use it? If so, unplug it and get it repaired or 14 .
2. Never leave cooking 15 . The cooking area should be clear of things that might catch fire. If a grease fire breaks out in a pan, cover the flames with the lid. Turn off the stove, the gas supply and other 16 when cooking is done.
3. Keep matches and lighters away from children. Put these 17 out of children's reach. Teach children that matches and lighters are not toys.
4. 18 fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers allow you to fight small fires. Regularly check your equipment to make sure it will work when needed.
5. Plan and practice escape routes. Map two ways out of every room. Practice the escape plan with your family. If windows are part of the plan, make sure they can open easily. Clear the stairs of 19 that might get in your way.
In case of fire, get everyone out of the house first. Then call the fire department. In an apartment fire, take the stairs, not the 20 . If you have to go through smoke-filled areas, crawl on your hands and knees. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet cloth, if possible. If your clothes catch fire, drop to the ground and roll to put the flames out. Once everyone is out of the house, no one should go back in.

I'm afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the offences they commit are becoming proportionately more serious. I only wish we didn't have to admit but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves what's wrong with our society that our children apparently couldn't care less about law and order. The day of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples off a barrel or nicked a packet of sweets from a chain store are virtually over. I had an occasion to say this to a young offender the other day. "Sweets from a chain store?" he said, "You must be joking. That's kid's stuff." I may add that he was aged eleven. In other words, today's young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. They've got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think we have come to the point where it's all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently rejects them on the grounds of colour, race or low academic ability, these children turn to crime as a means of boosting their self-esteem. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing the role of the criminal, they are quick to identify with these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the Police and magistrates that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969 is becoming inadequate to deal with the rise in juvenile delinquency. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and treatment of their delinquency, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves are well aware that there is very little that can be done to prevent them from continuing to mug, vandalize and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorise. I don't like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the "it's nothing to do with me" attitude we have adopted for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harsher and more disciplined methods against these young offenders.

In a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Yet underneath their labels, these products are often nearly identical. One manufacturer's toothpaste tends to differ very little from another manufacturer's. Two different brands of shampoo may vary only in scent or color. This means that a shopper often has little reason to choose one brand over another. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problem-how to keep sales high enough to stay in business. Manufacturers solve this problem by advertising. Through advertising, each manufacturing company tries to convince consumers that its product is special. In fact, advertisements may be classified into three types according to the kind of appeals they use.
One type of advertisement tries to appeal to the consumer's reasoning mind. For example, it may say that dentists recommend Flash toothpaste, or it may declare that Woof dog food contains a special, vitamin-rich ingredient known as K-9. In selling a product, the truth of advertising may be less important than the appearance of truth. A scientific approach gives the appearance of truth.
Another type of advertisement tries to amuse the potential buyer. Products that are essentially boring, such as cleaning powder or insecticide, are often advertised in an amusing manner. One way of doing this is to make the products appear alive. The advertiser may draw little cartoon eyes, arms, and legs on the cans of cleaning powder and have the resulting figures scrub the sink. Ads of this sort are silly, but they also tend to be amusing. Advertisers believe that consumers are likely to remember and buy products that the consumers associate with fun.
Associating the product with something pleasant is the technique of the third type of appeal. In this class are ads that suggest that the product will satisfy some basic human desires. One such desire is the wish to be admired by other people. Many automobile advertisements are in this category. They imply that other people will admire you — may even be jealous — when they see you driving the hot, new car. This kind of appeal is sometimes strengthened by hiring a famous person to endorse the product.

A.give consumers real information about their products
B.make their products more competitive
C.cheat consumers into buying their products
D.solve the problems in sales promotion

A.consumers firmly believe the scientific approach
B.consumers feel doubted about the appearance of truth
C.consumers may buy the products tested in a scientific way

29.In the third paragraph, a potential buyer may ____A______.
