Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure.Most of us keep dreaming，others________.
Gregg Bleakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom.He got the idea after he finished a 1，60-kilometer bike ride.Gregg's friend，Brooks Allen，was also a cyclist.The two friends talked and decided their goal （目標(biāo)）：they would travel from Alaska to Argentina--by bike.
To pay for the journey，Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years.Once they were on road，they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses.In many places along their journey，local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
During their trip，Gregg and Brooks cycled through desert，rainforest，and mountains.Two years，twelve countries，and over 30，500 km later - Gregg finally reached Ushuaia，Argentina，at the tip of South America. （Near Guatemala，Brooks had to return to the U.S.jye.ai Gregg continued without him.）

4．If you feel sad or upset，remember not to watch a happy movie.A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University，the U.S.，have found that sad movies can make people happier.They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement.The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated.They died during World War II at the end of the movie.The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before，after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings，including sadness.
According to the result of the survey，scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie.Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships.Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie，their lives were full of hope.
"I want to live my life to the fullest，and this movie has made me think a lot，" one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick，the leader of the study，explained that bad moods （情緒） would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine.You don't have to worry，and you don't have to think about problems in your life，" she said. "But bad emotions，like sadness，make you feel terrible about your situation.Therefore，seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad，but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more."

5．It was last January，when I'd just finished a charity activity and was on the train back home，that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train，I felt amazingly good.The next day，I wrote more thank-yous and felt good again.I suddenly had the idea：Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year？
To keep on task，I decided to pick out a different theme for each month.January was charity.February would be neighbors.And I thought of a number of names right away：the owner of our local bookstore，who let me and my little son in before the store opened；our babysitter，who took good care of our kids； …
While writing the notes，I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone appreciating（欣賞）other people's lives.Writing thank-you notes allowed me to do something different，paying more attention to my own life.

Dear Julie，
Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food.Jake and I never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary（周年紀(jì)念日）.We talk about it every year.
Thank you.We miss you.
Love，
Gina I was happy to receive a note back from her.Julie replied， "I don't think I've ever received such a touching letter before.I'm undergoing a hard life change right now，and this helps."
