Julie is ten years old. Her brother Rick is eleven. Last year their family went to Kenya(肯尼亚) for their summer holiday. They had a wonderful time. Kenya is famous for its safari holiday.
On a safari holiday, you stay in a national park and watch the wild(野生的) animals. Julie’s family did this. They camped in the middle of a national park, far from any towns.
There were guides with them, and the guides knew a lot about wild animals. During the day, their guides took them in a big car and they saw all kinds of animals. They saw lions, elephants, monkeys and other wild animals. Sometimes the animals came very close to them.
Once an elephant started to walk towards them and Julie and Rick felt very scared. The guide said, “It’s all right. Don’t move, please.” He didn’t feel afraid at all! After some minutes, the elephant walked away.
At night, the family slept in a tent. They could hear the noises of the animals. They said it was noisy, and sometimes they couldn’t sleep! Also, they said it was very, very hot. But they loved their holiday and are going again next year.

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on(取决于)ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are some ways to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret is to be active, and have hobbies that make you forget your problems and time. Many people dance or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

“Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need dreams,” some scientists say. Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have a few dreams each night. Dreams are like short films. They are usually in colour. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again. That may be because the dreamer is thinking about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer. Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day.
These ideas can carry over into dreams. Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can’t remember the dream. Dreams can go away quickly. Too much dreaming cannot be good. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is hard at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
