19、vily traveled areas.（待在光线充足、人流密集的地方。）” ，可知，A项“建议去人少的地方旅游。”是错误的；根据SAFETY BOXES部分“Hotel is not responsible for items left in room valued over $200.（酒店对留在房间内价值超过200美元的物品概不负责。）”可知，B项“旅馆对您的任何损失概不负责。”是错误的；根据REPORTING部分的“Please report any suspicious activity, or safety concerns to management.（请向管理人员报告任何可疑的

What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent Weve Overlooked, hoping to make people better see the many ways that fathers influence their children.For example, Ronald Preston Rohner, a scientist at the University of Connecticut, US, s
