When Mr. Green 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 surprise, many visitors came to see his house in summer holidays, for it was the most interesting building in the village. From morning to night, there were visitors outside the house. They kept looking into the rooms through the windows and many of them even went into the house. He decided to drive the visitors away(撵走). So he put a notice on the window. The notice said，“If you want to satisfy(满足) your curiosity(好奇心),come in and look around. Price: twenty dollars.” Mr. Green was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. More and more visitors came and Mr. Green had to spend every day showing them around his house. “I came here to retire, not to work as a guide(导游)”, he said angrily. In the end, he sold the house and moved away.

You may not know the name of your neighbor’s dog though you see it every day. But you may know the name of this cute white dog with black ears. The dog is 63 years old this year.
He is Snoopy, the main character in the US Peanuts comic strip (《花生》连环画). In the comic, Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a lawyer, a writer, and even the first astronaut on the moon.
Snoopy has his own dreams. He works hard to make them come true. For example, though people never like the stories he writes, Snoopy keeps writing because he wants to succeed one day. In Snoopy, people see the truth of the saying: “The only thing you can do when you fail is not giving up（放弃）.”
Snoopy never stops on his way to make his dreams come true. He teaches people to have the right idea about their lives.
Because of that, Snoopy has become popular in the US since his birth in 1950. Last year, American people chose Snoopy as the Top Dog in American Pop Culture.
Snoopy’s influence(影响) goes all around the world. Over the past 61 years, he has been in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries. As a US newspaper once said: “If anyone can be a good influence in children and teenagers’ lives, it is Snoopy.”
