" The man replied, "But I don't have a computer,neither an e-mail. " "I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an e-mail,that means you are not living.

每日10分钟口算心算速算天天练系列答案Protect Yourself When Home Alone
There are many things that you should be careful with when you are alone at home. Read the following solutions(方法)to protect yourself.
Keep the door locked when you are alone at home. Many people think it's the best way to protect themselves.
Keep a list of phone numbers to call for help―such as 110， the number of the nearest police station,or a neighbour's telephone number.
Be careful with the electrical appliances(电器).If you don't know how to use them,ask your parent. Make a safety check before going to sleep.
Look through the keyhole when you hear the doorbell. If there are strangers,ask " Who's that?" with the door locked,and say "Come back later". Don't tell them that your parents are away. Say *'Mum's having a shower" or "Dad's having a sleep". To ignore(忽视)the doorbell is not a good idea because sometimes bad people ring doorbells to see if anyone's at home.
根据短文内容，从右栏描述自我保护的方法中选取与左栏情景相匹配的选项，并将代表该方法的字母写在题前括号内。
