always to askpermission from their caregiver before they go anywhere.They should not onlvtell the care giver where they will be at all times,but also who will be lookingafter them.Also,children should never walk or ride their bikes alone.Instead,they should travel in groups whenever possible.More importantly,childrenshould be taught to stay away from strangers,thouah they may offer to showthem a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say no and run,scream,or fight if necessary.Moreover,children should be told that noproblem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups.In fact,it is never too late toask for help,and to keep asking until they get the help they need.Last but notleast,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family memberor family friend,for example,a stepfather,sisters boyfriend,babysitter,neighbor,and so on.III.Listening InTask 1:He or she?Girl:Yes,Id like to report a mugging.Police officer:OK.Can you tell me exactly what

secure.Here are some waysto help you fight identity theft.After all,you dont want someone else to ruinyour good credit rating and perhaps keep you from getting the loan you want toget.The first thing you want to do is to watch how much information you give out onthe Internet.For example,never put your credit card number into an email.Ifyou do make purchases online,you need to be careful.One way to be extracareful is to only use sites that offer a high level of encryption.Another way tobe extra careful is to only use one credit card for all of your Internet purchases.Make sure that credit card has a low limit.Another thing you have to do to help you avoid ID theft is to destroy all youroutgoing mail completely.Some thieves will pick up garbage,search through it,and pull out the credit card offers that you threw away because they were junkmail.Remember that a lot of your information is already there.All a thief has todo is forge your signature and mail the form back with a note that says youvechanged your mailing address(to their address).The third way to avoid identity theft is to make sure that your mailbox is safe.Have a slot in your front door for the mail to fall through.Even though that isnot completely safe,it is still much safer than the post box outside your frontdoor.(1)give out(2)number(3)online(4)sites(5)credit
