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 “___________ ”.
