If you are,
30、 then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and assault. Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate but it is only too easy to imagine “It will never happen to me“. Unfortunately statist
31、ics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim. Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help you to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and eas
32、ily affordable. You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that they will not break into the house easily, so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a l

46、d No-Tobacco Day, from the day on, smoking is legally banned in the public areas in Beijing, such as restaurants, subways, and offices. Anyone who break the law may be fined with 50 to 200 yuan according to the regulation. Moreover, those people who were fined for three times will be named on the go
47、vernment website as a warning. Not only individuals, but also the businesses should be responsible for public smoking. Business should put non-smoking signs on their pubic areas, or they will be fined. Some restaurants“ owners have complained that they are afraid of confliction among the customs and
48、 them. But some others have already separated their restaurants into two areas, smoking and non-smoking area. In my opinion, smoking in the pubic area is harmful and impolite. But it is not realistic for smokers to stop smoking for a very long time. So it is critical to clearly separate the smoking area and the non-smoking area.
