第二节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题。1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36～55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
What can you do to make sure your car isn't stolen? Well, first and most obviously,     36     the car when you leave it. That includes locking the boot for luggage and closing all the windows. Even a     37     break allows a thief to insert a wire to force open the lock button. Of course, don't leave the keys hanging in the ignition (点火器). And don't hide a     38     key inside or outside the car — thieves know all the hiding places. If your car     39    , lock up before you go for help.     40     you can't start the car, a thief may be able to.
Now since dusk to mid-evening are the     41    hours for car thieves, make sure you park in a     42     area, where there are plenty of passers-by,     43    , near a busy store or a restaurant. Avoid leaving your keys with a garage or parking-lot assistant: choose the place you park     44    .
Keep your driver's license in your wallet or purse,     45     in some small separate divisions of your car. You should also have a record of your car's     46     statistics both in your wallet and     47     at home. This can help with recovery     48     stealing.
And finally, it's a good idea to     49     some kind of safety equipment. There is a     50     available from alarm systems that set off a siren (警报) if an     51     is made to force open the car     52     any way, to fuel shut-off systems and time delay ignition systems. A warning sign will also help     53     would-be thieves. They don't want to waste time on trying to steal a     54     car.
So, help yourself put car thieves out of     55     by always locking your car, fixing anti-stealing systems and co-operating with the police by reporting any attempt at stealing.
