When Mr.
Smith retired(退休),
he bought a small 21 in a village near the sea. He
22 it and hoped to live a quiet life in this house.
But
to his great surprise, many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays,
for it was the most 23 building in the village. From
morning to night there were 24 outside the house. They kept
looking into the rooms through the windows and 25 of them even went
into Mr. Smith’s garden. This was too much for Mr. Smith. He decided to ask the
visitors to 26 . So he put a notice on the window. The notice said,
“If you want 27 your curiosity(好奇心)，come in and look round. Price: twenty dollars.” Mr. Smith was sure
that the visitors would 28 coming, but he was wrong. More and
more visitors came and Mr. Smith had to 29 every day showing them
around his house.“I
came here to relax not to work 30 a guide（导游）,”he said angrily. In the
end, he sold the house and moved away.
