Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Everything you need is close at hand.
In the US, you can really see these moving houses on the road. They are called recreational vehicles (RVs, 房車). People call them houses on wheels. When it’s holiday time, the whole family often gets into this lovely house and goes out for a journey across the country.
Not like a real house, this home on the road is small for a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. But the best thing about it is that it changes your journey into a free exploration (探險).
You can drive as long as you like without worrying about finding hotels and restaurants. Or you can just stop somewhere nice and stay for a few weeks. You may also meet other families who are also on road trips. Together, you take out your tents and snacks. It’s camping time with a lot of talk and laughter!
Of course, RVs can be inconvenient (不便利的). They can sometimes break down and you have to spend time fixing them up. But this kind of road journey still wins people’s hearts because they can go wherever they want and whenever they would like.

Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It's unhappiness. Don't let it get you down. Send it away!
When you feel happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile will make you more charming (迷人的) and help you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.
No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can't change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it's good to know some of the factors (因素) that influence happiness.
One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friend are happier than people who don't have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence (信心). Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.
Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work.
A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it's unfair because you always study hard and should get a good mark. You can't stop blaming yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, "Take it easy! I'll do better next time!" Your attitude makes a big difference.
