Long ago, there was a queen who lived in a palace. She felt bored and said to her advisor(顾问 ), "AIl the things around me are too boring. I need a different kind of beauty. Let everyone know that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world. And the prize will be this crown (王冠)."

     Several days later, lots of people came to the competition and showed their things. The queen was not satisfied with what she saw. The advisor suggested, "What you are looking for cannot be brought to you. You must look for it by yourself. What about a journey?"

     The queen was interested in the idea, so she started immediately. As she was on top of the hill near her palace, she looked down and suddenly something cried in her heart. "Why have I never found my palace so beautiful?"

    The queen spent one year travelling. She saw beauty on the farm, in the forest and even in the stars twinkling(闪烁)at night on her journey. But what was the most beautiful thing? She thought it over. Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere. She should learn to enjoy the world. She left the pieces of her crown at different places that she had seen. As time went by, the queen's crown got smaller and smaller until nothing was left.

    She found the most beautiful thing at last. It was the world!

    Jess really felt very happy. When he got to his seat in the classroom that morning, he found an invitation(邀请书)on his desk. It was from some of his classmates asking him to join them on a camping trip. This was the first time they asked him to join in an out-of-school activity. Why were they asking him now? Nobody seemed to like him. In fact, he was so lonely and unhappy that he drowned(沉溺)his feeling with snacks. So he put on lots of weight, and this gave his classmates something more to make fun of him.

    Cindy. who was standing near Jess when he read the invitation, went out quickly to tell the others that the trick worked. Everyone was happy that Jess believed it. But there was no camping trip. The whole thing was not true.

    At first, Cindy thought it was fun. But later, when Jess told her that he was going to buy a sleeping bag with his savings. Cindy had a second idea. She knew that Jess's family had little money, and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use. Cindy also hated to tell Jess the truth. Her close friends would be angry with her.

    Americans with small families have a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family is large, one of the cars is sold and they will buy a van(面包车).

    A small car can hold four people and a large car can hold six people but it is very crowded(拥挤的). A van can hold seven people easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go for a holiday. They could all travel together.

    Mr Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. The sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel.

    Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family is travelling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are travelling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.
