参考答案:AABCC

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthScoutNews) —Maybe they've heard the frightening news from a friend, glimpsed it on TV, or listened to a graphic radio report.
Children — even little ones — may be all too aware of the deadly sniper shootings that have stunned suburban Washington, D. C. And specialists agree that parents should move quickly to address their children's concerns, to reduce their worries and restore their sense of security. "If parents don't talk about it, the message is it's too scary to talk about," says Dr. Joseph F. Hagan, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on psychological aspects of child and family health. "If you don't bring it up, you miss the opportunity to reassure," Hagan adds. "I think the first piece of advice is to frame it: 'It is horrible, but it won't happen to you.'"
The way you reassure your children is as important as what you say. "The effect of how you talk about it is very important," Hagan says. For instance, don't broach the subject when you're upset or worried, because your emotions will come through and can upset you child, he says.
Hagan says children of all ages, even older teenagers, shouldn't watch the evening news without their parents. "We're bringing pretty horrendous stuff into our living rooms." Headline-grabbing events like the sniper shootings — or the 9/11 attacks, the anthrax-by-mail terror campaign, or the string of school shootings — are often rebroadcast over and over. While adults can intellectually process such information, children often assimilate images differently. Seeing a violent act several times "makes it more real for children," Hagan says. But if you watch television with your children, you can put matters into a safer context for them.
James Maddux, a clinical psychologist at George Mason University in Virginia, says that when a child brings up the subject, a parent should ask what she understands about the situation, and then answer honestly. "Kids hear all kinds of strange things from other children," and what they fear may be much worse than reality. Maddux recalls being a seven-year-old and believing all kinds of frightening — though false — stories about the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. "I would have been better off knowing the truth," he says. "Also, simply being present for your child will make him feel safe," he notes. A parent's presence "provides true physical safety and a sense of psychological safety in children," Maddux says.
Older children can benefit from discussing with their parents what they can actually do to be safe, such as being aware of their surroundings, says Lisa Opipari-Arrigan, a pediatric psychologist at the University of Michigan. "Help the child feel they have some control." Children today are exposed to more scenes of violence than ever before, Opipair-Arrigan says. "Help by keeping lines of communication open. Provide reassurance about their safety."
Be observant and note if your child is particularly moody, seems excessively worried, has sleep problems, or is stressed about world events, Opipari-Arrigan says. But perhaps the most reassuring words for parents come from Maddux: "l think sometimes adults exaggerate children's fears. Children are more psychologically resilient than we give them credit for."

参考答案:CDDBA

A million motorists leave their cars full up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day. The vehicles are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel. The Automobile Association (AA) has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes — and sometimes considerably longer — as drivers buy drinks, sweets, cigarettes and other consumer items — and then pay at the cash till. With payment by the credit card more and more common, it is not unusually for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes, providing the car thief with a golden opportunity.
In an exclusive AA survey, carried out at a busy garage on a main road out of London, 300 motorists were questioned over three days of the holiday period. Twenty four percent admitted that they 'always' or 'sometimes' leave the keys in their car. This means that nationwide, a million cars daily become easy targets for the opportunist thief.
For more than ten years there has been a bigger rise in car crime than in most other types of crime. An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into, vandalized or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offences with no signs that the trend is slowing down.
Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car crime is committed by the opportunist. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. When AA engineers surveyed on town center car park last year, ten percent of the cars checked were unlocked, a figure backed by a Home Office national survey that found 12 percent of drivers sometimes left their cars unlocked. The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car — and for however short a period. A partially open sun-roof or window is a further come-on to thieves.
There are many other traps to avoid. The Home Office has found little awareness among drives about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid among drives about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots away from street lights — just the places thieves love. The AA advises drivers to park in places with people around — thieves don't like audiences. Leaving valuables in view is an invitation to the criminals. A Manchester Probationary Service research project, which interviewed almost 100 car thieves last year, found many would investigate a coat thrown on a seat. Never leave any documents showing your home address in the car. If you have a garage, use it and lock it — a garage car is at substantially less risk.
