When Mr. David retired, he bought a small house in a village(村庄) near the sea. He liked it and hoped to live a quiet life in it.But to his great surprise, many travelers came to see his house in summer holidays, for it was the most interesting building in the village. From morning to night there were travelers 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 sign on the window. It said: “If you want to satisfy(满足) 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 rest, not to work as a guide.” He said angrily.

There is a simple way to lose weight (减体重). And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a sports club. You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you will become thin.

When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend (弯曲)forward until you feel sore in your back. It will bum about 10 calories(卡里路热量)

When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.

Apples are full of fiber (纤维) and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
