Yesterday the police were joined by more than 20 volunteers in the continuing search for the two missing teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared during an adventure tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rain forest was thick and their work was made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector(警官) Roger Fleet said, “The travelers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.”
The three travelers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles. Chief Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the “Be careful about Crocodiles” sign near the river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rain forest? The police said that the travelers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown.
This article is probably taken from _____.

A．a newspaper	B．a magazine
C．a story book	D．a guide book

Which word best describes the search of the three missing people?

A．Helpless	B．Hard
C．Delightful	D．Successful

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 ourselves．" In other words， we make our own happiness． Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．

Another secret to living a happy life is to be active． Many people go dancing 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．

We all do it． We all need it． Most of us need to do it for seven to nine hours a night， It is of course sleep． Many scientists believe that an average adult should get eight hours sleep per night． However， some people can live without feeling sleepy after as little as six hours of sleep． Yet， other people need about ten hours a night． Newborn babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day． Usually they only stay awake for one to three hours．

Do you take a nap in the day？ Some adults and children need to nap． This just depends on the person． One thing scientists have learned is that man is the only mammal that stops himself from going to sleep． This can be bad for our bodies in many ways． Scientists believe not sleeping enough can make us eat more and put on weight． That's right! A hormone called leptin falls when we don't sleep enough and this makes us hungrier． Hopefully you are a good sleeper and get a good night's rest tonight!
