14.YOU CAN HELP!
Everyone was born with his own built-in burglar alarm.It's called the sense of sight and sound.Unfortunately,many of us go around with the alarm switched off.
We don't see the stranger wandering outside the house next door.
We don't notice the sounds from the flat upstairs.
(Weren't they supposed to be on holiday?)
The police can only do so much to prevent crime.There never can be enough of them to guard every home in every town.So they need your help in fighting with the burglars(窃贼),the vandals,and the car thieves.
Not,of course,by setting out to have a go every time you see something suspicious.It'll always be the job of the police to arrest criminals.
But by acting as a line of communication between them and your community.For instance,you probably know far more about your immediate neighborhoods than the police ever could.
A stranger in someone's garden would probably be far more obvious to you than it would to even the local police,if,of course,you were on the lookout.
That's the whole idea behind the Neighborhood Watch schemes,springing up around the country to create a spirit of watchfulness within a community,anything suspicious being reported to the police.
It's early days yet,but results so far are very encouraging.The crime figures are already dropping in many of the areas running the scheme.And all due to people like you.
32.The underlined word"them"refers to"B".
A.criminals            B.the police         C.neighbours              D.strangers
33.The advertisement points out that many people.B
A.are not ready to help the police
B.are not as watchful as they could be
C.don't look after their gardens well
D.don't tell their neighbors about their holidays
34.One of the ways we could help prevent crime is to.C
A.turn on the alarm system in our home
B.try to stop criminals from escaping
C.look out for people behaving suspiciously
D.inform the police if we hear noises upstairs
35.The purpose of the advertisement is to in their neighborhood.D
A ask people to join the police force
B advise people how to protect their homes
C warn people about the increasing risk of crime
D  encourage people to be on watch for possible crime.

19.October 15,1970was declared International W hite Cane Safety Day (IWCSD) for the first time by the President of the International Federation of the Blind (IFB).This date was adopted at the first convention of the IFB,held in Colombo on October 4,1969.The object of  the exercise is to enable the general public to have a better understanding of blindness and visual handicap,and to make people more aware of the white cane as a mobility aid.
Peguilly d'Herbemont was born on 25th June 1888into an old French noble family of the same name.In her youth she led the conventional and protected existence,lack of great activity,of a girl from a"good family",an existence reminding of the life of the aristocracy(贵族) before the French Revolution.She never visited a public school,but was educated by German and English governesses and nuns.Her movements were restricted and were mainly confined to the family positions in Paris and Belgium,but she spent most of her time at the castle of Charmois not far from Verdun.
In the process of helping individual blind people across the road,Peguilly d'Herbemont was made aware by narrow scrapes(刮擦) which almost led to accidents,of the dangerous situation of the visually impaired brought about by the steadily increasing traffic on the roads.She first spoke about measures to protect the blind against street hazards to her mother in 1930,but she was of the opinion that it was unfit for a lady of good society to create a public outcry and advised her to stick to the transcription of books,a popular pastime of ladies of rank at the time.
But the idea did not leave her.The urgent wish to encourage the integration(成为一体) of the blind into society by providing them with a means of moving about more freely without endangering others,and at the same time attracting the attention of passers-by ready to offer assistance,caused her to take the unusual step of writing to the editor of the Paris dailyEcho de Paris in which she suggested issuing the blind of the Paris region with white sticks similar to those used by the traffic police.
The editor took up the idea,published it in November 1930and saw to it that the relevant authorities acted with atypical speed.Thus it was that the white cane received official backing,and on 7th February 1931.

C.She was taught German and English at a public school.
D.She worried about possible street hazards for the blind,witnessing many traffic accidents.

B.It was common for people to write to newspapers to voice their opinion at the time.
C.Peguilly's strong desire to help the blind made her not a looker-on but an advocate.
D.The editor contributed a lot to the declaration of International White Cane Safety Day.
45.This passage mainly wants to tell usD.
