Your teacher gives you the following brochure about crime. Read the information and answer the questions. How to Avoid Being Mugged          A surprisingly large number of people have had first-band experience of some sort of crime in the streets, the most common of which is mugging. In the city of Chicago alone, there are about 6,000 muggings every year. Here are some tips in order to avoid joining the growing list of people who have been mugged.          How can a mugger be spotted?          Be wary of loiterers who seem to be window shopping or who aren’t really doing anything. Muggers need time to find the right victim, so they neither hide nor walk very quickly. They often ask for spare change or what the time is. These are tricks to distract their victims, and also to figure out if you have any expensive jewellery or items worth stealing. Finally, be suspicious of anyone who is wearing clothing which hides their identity, such as a hooded jacket.          What kind of victims do muggers search for?          Muggers love solitary individuals, so be sure to stay where the people are. Avoid empty streets and alleyways, and whenever possible, try to walk with a friend. Walk confidently and take long steps. Muggers do not like people who are relaxed and seem sure of themselves. It is also a good idea to look a potential mugger in the eye, for the same reason. However, if the mugger is an aggressive type, establishing eye contact may backfire, as he/she might see it as a challenge. So if your confident look is met with an angry stare, be the first to look away. Lastly, do not dress in a way that makes you stand out. If you are a tourist, try to dress like a local.          What can you do if you realize you are a target?          It is sometimes a good idea to act unpredictably, perhaps by acting crazy or shouting. If there are people around, shouting “Fire!” is more effective than “Help!”. However, in the majority of cases muggers carry dangerous weapons, so it’s probably safer to go along with their demands. If a mugger forces you into your car, you will probably be told to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash. Don’t worry, though, because most banks will refund any money withdrawn while being robbed if you report the incident to the police.
