　 The holiday shopping season is once again upon us.The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift.The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact.

　 Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying，you could end up a victim of theft.Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper.Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity at this time of year.

　 They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it.Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.College students are not an exception to the rule!

　 As a member of our university community，you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year.Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls.Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around.The sights，sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency.

　 Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes.And this is the sort of crime that you’re most vulnerable to，especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages.However，as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior，there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim.So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips.

　　I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (懂事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best efforts had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.

Tears clouded-my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett's jeans and full of burn holes;

Tired and defeated, I 　41　 to the floor．The clothes were just one more thing Brett had　 42 ．He often got almost everything in the house out of 　 43 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 　44　 to steal money when he chose to live on the street．Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 　45 Brett had done to our once quiet home．

Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old．During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 46　 as possible, but inside I was shouting．"I don't want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can't 47 him!"Having wiped my tears, I continued　 48 him as before．

When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所）．After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 　49 teens． At the　 50　 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 　51 the roost to him or her．Brett spoke 52 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much．You were always there, no matter　 53 ．My mom and dad, I was their kid．But you, 　54　 troubled enough by me, always　55 me such love．And I want you to know I love you for it．"　 56　 ．I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 　57　 ．

At that moment, tears 　58 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for　 59 ．Although I had struggled with silent 60　 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions．Love is action．We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them．
