This list of Hotel Safety Tips will give you the tools and techniques you need to feel and be safe. From years of staying in hotels (mostly for 3 （北京）股份有限公司 work) we’ve learned how to minimize the risk of hotel theft or other hotel risks by employing the simple but effective hotel safety strategics listed below. Always lock the door All hotels have door latches that add an extra security to the door. It won’t stop the most determined thieves, but it will slow them down and for the less ambitious it might be enough to scare them off. If your door has a manual lock, be sure to flip it locked. You can’t have enough protection. Avoid leaving valuables in your room Numerous staff members have master keys that can open every room in the hotel and the cleaning staff enters your room at least once a day. While most are professionals and wouldn’t dream of taking anything, there’s no need to tempt them by leaving your diamond ring on the bed or laptop in plain sight. Always take valuables with you IF you can. Use the privacy signs whenever possible If you do have to leave your room make sure you hang the privacy sign. If the guest is in the room, hotel staff may avoid the guest. You can also turn your TV on to further indicate someone’s in the room improving the chances your stuff will be safe. This hotel safety tip obviously doesn’t apply if you desire your room being serviced. Learn the hotel exits If you’ve ever experienced escaping from a hotel at 2 in the morning for a hotel fire, it’s not pleasant! Take a quick glance at the exit plan posted in the room and be ready. Don’t fetch your luggage when you exit your room in a fire situation. 21. What does the underlined word “tempt” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Persuade. B. Refuse. C. Threat. D. Attract. 22. What are you advised to do if you stay in a hotel? A. Make sure the cleaning staff clean your room every day. B. Always turn your TV on while you are in the room. C. Make sure the privacy sign works well. D. Avoid leaving your stuff in the room. 23. In a fire situation, you should ________. A. post an exit plan in the room in advance B. escape immediately without taking any luggage C. look through the exit plan carefully before leaving D. stay in the room until 2 in the morning B If the three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) is a guideline to save the planet, garbage-sorting is where the efforts start. Since May 1, Beijing has started to carry out mandatory garbage-sorting in new efforts to better protect the environment. Under the new regulation, residents are required to classify household waste into four categories: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous and other waste. 4 （北京）股份有限公司 People who fail to sort their garbage properly can be fined from 50 to 200 yuan, reported 4 （北京）股份有限公司 Xinhua. Some residential communities in Beijing have introduced rewards to encourage residents to sort their garbage. According to Xinhua, residents can earn points by classifying their domestic waste correctly and then exchange the points they accumulate for daily necessities such as soap. Garbage sorting practices have reached over 70 percent of housing estates in 18 cities, including Shanghai, Xiamen and Hangzhou, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban- Rural Development. Shanghai first enacted a mandatory garbage-sorting regulation in July 2019 and has had a 90 percent compliance (服从) rate among its housing estates. According to a report by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage-sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage-sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are completely sorting their waste, the report noted. According to Xinhua, it’s partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. Also, some previous garbage regulations didn’t include fines for people who failed to obey them. “It’s a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting,” Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily, “Aside from China, many countries like Germany, Spain and Britain, also ask people to sort waste into specific categories. In Japan, there is a fixed time for the sorting of each kind of garbage and littering. ” 24.What can we learn about the new regulation in Beijing? A .It hasn’t been put into use yet. B .Residents can sort the garbage as they like. C .Those who can’t sort the garbage as the new rule requires shall be fined. D .People can get money if they classify their domestic waste correctly. 25.What’s the problem in garbage sorting in China? A .Most people are unaware of its importance in protecting environment. B .Only residents in big cities can sort the trash correctly. C .Some people don’t want to take the trouble to sort the garbage. D .The government doesn’t have enough money to support garbage sorting. 26.What can we infer from Liu Jianguo’s words? A .It’s difficult to carry out garbage sorting in Chi
