result in savings.
For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, ari energy audit
is the way to go. An energy auditor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The
auditor will pinpoint areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your
energy use and costs. Trained energy auditors know what to look for and can locate a variety of flaws
that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation, construction flaws, and
uneven heat distribution.

replace incandescent lights with fluorescents. This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your

 IX. Read the passage, then CIRCLE the correct answer. (1.5 pts) ·
For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an
empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching 1V. Some may hide. But all of them have
something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called "latchkey children".
They are children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has
become a subject of concern.
Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, "We had a school rule against
wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly
telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind
what they meant." Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.
She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working
couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by
children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened.
Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.
The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a
shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is 1V. They often turn the volume up. It's hard
to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned. Most parents are slow to admit that
they leave their chi.ldren alone.

A. close doors with keys and watch 1V by themselves.

C. are locked inside houses with latches and keys
D. look after themselves while their parents are not at home
4. The main problem of latchkey children is that they _
A. are also found in middle-class families B. watch too much television during the day
C. suffer a lot from being left alone. D. are growing in numbers
5. Lynette Long learned of latchkey children's problem by _
A. visiting their homes B. delivering questionnaires ·
C. interviewing their parents D. talking to them
6. What might be the purpose of this passage?
A. To encourage children to stay home alone because more than six million children have the
same situation.
B. To show parents that they need to pay more attention to their children.
C. To suggest 1V station having better shows for children staying at home alone.
