I can’t tell you all about drugs, but I can  1 you think about them in this  2  way. Your body is a very complicated(復雜的) machine, 3  a lot of chemical machinery, all of which is finally turned  4  it all works together . Special chemicals, which we call drugs, can affect it in many different ways.

Some drugs are  5  when your body has a problem, as with disease-causing bacteria. Then someone may give you aspirin to keep your temperature from going too 6  or some penicillin(青霉素) 7 it stops the growth of some kinds of bacteria. 8  , all drugs are really poison, 9 if you take too much ,so you must always use them  10 .

Why do some people take drugs like cocaine? For a little while they seem to make you feel better, or happier .But 11 their effects have  12 ,your body has to pay an extra 13  to get back to normal. That makes you want to get  14  of the drug.

Drugs like cocaine have their special effects because they act as  15  for your nervous system. They cut off some of your nerve pathways and take away some of your senses and your  16 . They make you want always more. And just a little too much can even  17  nerves to your heart and stop its beating.

Many of us worry about the  18 around us and what pollution does to us .How about your internal(內(nèi)在的) environment, and what goes on  19  you ? You control that all by yourself in what you put into your  20 . Most drugs are pollutants. You would not want pollutants in the air and water around you. Why would you want pollutants in your body?

How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷竊)? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (隨機定時器)。Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights.  If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what there is to take, then the risk is even greater for them to break in.
● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.
【小題1】. What is the main idea of the passage?

A.to tell us how to prevent the thefts around the holidays
B.to let the outdoor lights on all the time
C.to tell us many families suffering from the thefts while they are on holiday
D.to tell you to have your neighbor go to your house to take care of your pet.
【小題2】.If you are on holiday in other places, the lights in your house should________.
A. be lit in an irregular way              B. be kept on all the night
C. be replaced by random timers         D be turned on only once one day
【小題3】.To make your home is well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?
A.Have all the curtains closedB.Stop your mail service at once
C.Turn to your close neighbors or friendsD.Equip your home with security system
【小題4】. Most of the tips mentioned in the text seem to ______.
A.be very popular with familiesB.have no effect on preventing thefts
C.give a false impression on thefts. D.be a little hard to be brought into effect.
【小題5】.The underlined word “deter ”probably means “___________ ”.
