If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and attack.Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate, but it is only too easy to imagine “It will neverhappen 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 your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple 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 easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.Send now for our free leaflet telling you how we can Protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply. Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us. Postage is free. Also, telephone us at 327 6721 where we have a round-the-clock answering service.

I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I couldopen an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in.We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn’t know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, “Are you a new student?” When they found out I was looking forNew Gerard, one said, “Oh, just follow us; That’s where we’re going.” Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm(学生宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn’t mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!76.The text is perhaps written by______.A.a new studentB.a new teacherC.a foreign reporterD.a foreign visitor77.What does“gives me a sense of responsibility”in the first sentence of Paragraph2mean?It means it makes me feel______.A.responsible for my parents.B.responsible for my teacher.C.responsible for the school.D. responsible for myself.78.One thing that he liked was______.A.the comfortable dormB.finding his way aroundC.his studies as a first year studentD.the friendly people79.What is New Gerard?A.It’ s a student’ s name.B.It’ s a teacher’ s name.C.It’ s a dorm’ s name.D.It’ s a school’ s name.80.Which of the following is NOT true?A.People in Marymount University are friendly.B.The writer likes the new experience in the university.C.The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.D.The writer is not homesick.Part IV Translation (2×10 points）Directions:There are10sentences in this part.Please translate sentences 81-85 from Chines into English and translate sentences 86-90 from English into Chinese.
