　　(2015·湖南卷)Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly？Imagine having your entire house(灯塔)living year，an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station.The inspections were supposed to be a surprise，but keepers sometimes had advance notice.

　　Once lighthouses had telephones，keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching.After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector was aboard，the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first.As soon as someone spotted the boat，everyone would do last­minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap.Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.

　　Despite the serious nature of inspections，they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time，people did not have dishwashers in their homes.In an effort to clean up quickly，Mrs.Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan，covered them with a cloth，and stuck them in the oven.If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking.He never did.
