Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out of the way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(车座)．
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act as_a_deterrent_to_a_thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of security companies who will help mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to coritact you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its mark，model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.
21．Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?

Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is known as roomandboard. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.
Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.
The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.
Our Foreign Student Services, including links to websites discussed in our reports, can be found at www. unsv. com. To learn more about higher education in America, the State Department has a special website: educationusa. state. gov.
24．Students who are going to study in America must__________. A．buy their own textbooks themselves B．prove that they can pay for their study C．find a living place with a kitchen D．find someone to pay for their college fees 25．Who is this speech probably given to?

B．Students who are going to college in the US. C．Students who are going to apply for roomandboard.
D．Students who can't pay for their college study by themselves. 26．The University of Washington__________. A．has the highest fees of any college
B．has the most foreign students of any college in the US C．is a key university in the Northwest of the US
D．charges less than other colleges in the Northwest of the US
27．What is NOT a must if you, a foreign student, apply for the university in the US?
A．Apply eighteen months before you want to start classes. B．A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.
C．People who will help you pay for the study should provide a bank proof. D．A bank letter from within the past six months.

Parents need to stop trying to be friends with their children if they want to avoid them becoming louts_and_delinquents. That's the opinion of a local expert in the field of family relationships.
Wendy Harfield from Interrelate, the organization which focuses on relationships, said the issue of antisocial and violent behavior among youths was a complex one.
“There is no single reason why some kids get involved in unacceptable behavior but it seems that it is becoming a major issue not just in places like Bellingen but everywhere，” Ms. Harfield said.
“The most important part of the problem is the issue of selfesteem(自尊). Sometimes parents don't have a strong selfimage or good selfesteem themselves, so it is hard for them to pass good selfesteem on to their children.”
Ms. Harfield said it was important that children learnt to develop good relationships with themselves, their family, their friends and their community at an early age. “Parents need to look at themselves as personal trainers, and as we all know trainers get the best results when they start young，”she said, “It is no good waiting until a child is 12 or 13 to start training them to become a good person. You need to start when they are very young and be very consistent with them.”
“Teaching and training children to be good people is an important part of being a parent. But just as there are a lot of pressures on kids these days, there are also a lot of pressures on parents and families.”
“Children should develop better relationships with everyone in their life
