Reading
Match the headlines (A-H) to the paragraphs (1-7). There is one
extra heading that you do not need to use.
1 The home is full of hidden dangers. Not many people would think that
curtains or the TV are especially unsafe. Children, however, can strangle
themselves on curtain cords and can be crushed under falling TV sets. So, make
sure curtain cords are out of reach of children and attach your TV to the wall.
2 There are many things
that you can do to keep your home safe. For example, never hide a pair of house
keys in a 'secret' place in your garden. Burglars know where to look! Never
give personal information to unidentified telephone callers. And establish a
daily routine that ensures that you will never leave your house without first
locking all the doors and windows.
3 Germs are not only found in public places but also around the home.
Too often, people do not wash their hands after going to the toilet or before
preparing food. To keep your home clean, wipe down surfaces regularly using
disinfectant and a clean cloth. There is no need to buy expensive
disinfectants: vinegar and hot water is a cheap and effective alternative.
4 Burglars
prefer houses which are easy to break into. They like to work under the cover
of darkness and avoid places where forcing entry would be too noisy or
time-consuming. So, install outside lights with motion detectors, invest in a
burglar alarm, and put security devices such as bars and locks on windows and
doors.
5 Every year,
millions of children are injured at home. Fortunately, most incidents are
easily preventable. Lock cabinets and drawers where medicines and cleaning
products are kept. Put child safety gates at the top of the stairs and cover
sharp corners and plug sockets to prevent cuts and electrocutions.
6 Do you have a high energy bill every month? Well, there are plenty of
things you can do to cut down on your energy consumption. Wash your laundry
using cold water. Install low-flow showerheads. Identify air leaks in your home
and repair them. An easy way to find air leaks is by using a candle. When the
flame slants, you have found the air leak.
7 Trees in our gardens help to shelter our homes from cold winter winds.
Therefore, strategically placed trees can really help stop a house from getting
cold. Consult a professional gardener on where to plant trees to best shelter
your home.
