go home?
No, it"s not a visit from their mothers, and not a threat to take away their cellphones or pocket money.
It"s high-frequency noise. The UK police recently agreed to use a device (装置) called the Sonic Teenager
Deterrent. It sends out a sound that makes teenagers become so impatient and angry that they have to cover
their ears tightly and walk away.
The sound is at extreme high-pitch that can be heard by those under 20. The body"s natural ability to detect
some wave bands (波段) decreases almost entirely after 20, so few adults can hear the sounds. The black-box
device, nicknamed the Mosquito because of its sound, can be fixed to the outside walls of shops, offices and
homes. It sounds to youngsters like a crazy insect or a badly played violin. But it causes no physical damage.
A number of police forces and councils have given permission to use the system and want to install it at
trouble spots.
Staffordshire Police Inspector Amanda Davies, who has given the device to shopkeepers in the Moorlands
area, said," It is controlled by the shopkeepers--if they can see through their window that there is a problem,
they turn the device on for a while until the group has run away."
B. drive away trouble-makers under 20
C. help mothers control their teenage children
D. help the police control shopkeepers
B. shopkeepers are troubled by noisy insects
C. high-frequency noise is beyond the listening ability of people over 20
D. the police invented a new device to deal with teenagers
B. to tell the reader a piece of news
C. to sell the device to shopkeepers
D. to inform the public as the spokesman of the police
B. The police.
C. Young people.
D. The producer.

decide whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter
whether or not you fail today because you will succeed in the long term. Having positive habits does not mean
that you will succeed every single time. However, in the long term, there is no doubt that you will achieve all
your goals and be successful. On the other hand, if you have strong negative habits, you will fail in the long
term. It does not matter whether you succeed today or not. Why are habits so important?
A single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a great
effect on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won"t see a big difference in your life.
However, if your go to the gym 1,000 time over a five-year period, you will see a big difference in your body.
The same principle (原则) is true of finance (金融), health, relationships, work, career, and school. Simple
positive actions repeated every single day will have a great effect on your life in the long run. How to develop
positive habits?
There"s nothing easier than developing positive habits. You simply have to do every single day the action
you want to make a habit. If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to
develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition (重复). The more you do an
action. the easier it becomes in the long run. How to get rid of negative habits?
The only way to destroy negative habits is to stop reinforcing (加强) them. If you are a smoker, stop
smoking. If you are a drug user, stop using drugs. Yes, it will be very difficult at the beginning. The first
week will be very hard. After three weeks, you will feel a lot better. It"s hard to get rid of negative habits
because you got a lot of pleasure from these habits in the past. You can do it!
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and determination. Decide right now to improve your life
by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don"t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along
the way. But never forget that success is waiting for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse
to give up, success will be yours.

places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants
become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how
much tourism can help the country"s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination
country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that
attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work
in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country"s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It
costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed
by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand
dollars per room to build. If the room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

| Remembering your dreams will require some efforts on your part. But what your dreams can offer and tell you about yourself will be well worth it. Here are some tips to help recall your dreams: 1. Before going to bed, keep a clear mind. Tell yourself that "I will remember my dreams when I wake up". This is actually a proven and effective way to recall your dreams. 2. Have a regular bedtime and wake-up time. Make this your routine. Going to bed and waking up at a regular time every day could aid in dream recollection. 3. Avoid drinking and taking medicine before going to bed. These things may prevent you from remembering your dreams. 4.
