問題詳情：

     We are much happier in our new house because it has a large garden, and you

know how enthusiastic we both are about gardening. When we moved in a month ago,

Mary wanted to get a dog to keep out burglars. However, we finally decided that it

would be cheaper to put an iron grille in front of the door and get a burglar alarm.

   Last week, I went to a shop and bought an alarm for just over £200. It consists of

a control unit with three smaller units. I put the control unit in the lounge and put the

other units in place by the front door, back door and lounge windows.

    That night I soon fell asleep because I was confident that no one could get into

OUR house undetected. At about l:50 a.m. I woke up suddenly and heard the siren. It

was like an ambulance driving right through our bedroom. I couldn't leave the siren

on all night. I went downstairs in the dark. When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I

switched on the light and looked around. Oh my gosh. The back door was unlocked. I

rushed to lock it and it was just at that exact moment that the 'burglar' disappeared

behind a curtain. Guess what? It was an ordinary house lizard(蜥蜴). Apparently the '

alarm system had been made for American or European homes in which lizards are

never seen. I switched the alarm off and sat down to watch. A few moments later, a

 lizard ran across a wall, right in front of one of the alarm units.

     I won't bother to finish this story but if you'd like a burglar alarm system free of

charge, just let us know.
