When Mr David retired (退休), he bought a small house in a village near the sea. He liked it and hoped
to live a quiet life in it.
But to his great surprise, many tourists came to see his house in summer holidays, for it was the
most interesting building in the village. From morning to night there were tourists outside the house.
They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into Mr David's
garden. This was too much for Mr David. He decided to drive the visitors away. So he put a notice
on the window. The notice said: "If you want to satisfy your curiosity (好奇心), came in and look round.
Price: twenty dollars." Mr David was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. More
and more visitors came and Mr David had to spend every day showing them around his house. "I came
here to retire, not to work as a guide." he said angrily. In the end, he sold the house and moved away.
A. the visitors didn't come any longer
B. fewer and fewer visitors came to see his house
C. more and more tourists came for a visit
D. no tourists would pay the money for a visit

President (總統(tǒng)) George W Bush is visiting an elementary school today and visits one of the 4th grade classes. They are in the middle of a discussion(討論) of words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word“tragedy”. So the President asks the class for an example of a“tragedy”.
One little boy stands up and says,“If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy.”
“No,”says Bush,“that would be an accident.”
A little girl puts up her hand,“If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff(懸崖), killing everyone in the bus, that would be a tragedy.”
“I am afraid not,”explains the President.“That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS(損失).”
The room goes quiet. No other children answer. President Bush looks around the mom.“Is not there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”
At last, in the back of the room, a boy named Johnny puts up his hand. In a quiet voice he says,“If Air Force One, carrying you and Mrs Bush, was hit by a missile(導(dǎo)彈) and blown up to pieces, that would be a tragedy.”
“Right,”exclaims(大叫)Bush,“that is right, and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”
“Well,”little Johnny says,“because, as you just told us, it would not be an accident, and it sure as well would not be a great loss.”
