16.How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts(偷窃)?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 (随机定时器).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.

解答 56~60 AADCB
56.答案A.主旨大议题.根据第一段"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"可知,全文就是为假期如何防止盗窃支招.
57.答案A.细节理解题.根据第三段"set several different lights in your house on random timers"可知,作者建议用随机定时器来控制房子里面不同的灯,即用房子里面的灯以不规则方式点亮.
58.答案D.细节理解题.根据最后一段"Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system."可知,确保假期防盗的最好方法是安装一个专业家庭安全系统.
59.答案C.细节理解题.根据第一段,"Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home."可知,文章列出的防盗措施是通过误导窃贼的判断力来达到防盗的目的,即给窃贼以假象.
