Leaving valuables in view is an invitation to the criminal. A Manchester probationary （假释期） 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 garaged car is at substantially less risk.

There are many other traps to avoid. The Home Office has found little awareness among drivers 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 do not like audiences.

Passage Five

Nowadays ， we hear a lot about the growing threat of globalization ， accompanied by those warnings that the rich pattern of local life is being undermined ， and many dialects and traditions are becoming extinct. But stop and think for a moment about the many positive aspects that globalization is bringing. Read on and you are bound to feel comforted ， ready to face the global future ， which is surely inevitable now.

Consider the Internet ， that prime example of our shrinking world. Leaving aside the all-to-familiar worries about pornography and political extremism ， even the most narrow-minded must admit that the net offers immeasurable benefits ， not just in terms of education ， the sector for which it was originally designed ， but more importantly on a global level ， the spread of news and comment. It will be increasingly difficult for politicians to maintain their regimes of misinformation ， as the oppressed will not only find support and comfort ， but also be able to organize themselves more effectively.
