A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is not big enough. A van hold seven persons easily, so a family with three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. 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. Their sixth and seventh seat are used to put other things, because a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into and the two seats can then carry the grandparents.

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

Yesterday more than 20 volunteers joined the police in the 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 (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.

This was the second day of the search and the police we re now very worried about the safety of the three missing people.

The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and the recent rain made their work harder. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, ―The travellers had a radio with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us.‖

The three travellers 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 (鳄鱼). Chief

Inspector Roger Fleet said the tourists wouldn’t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.

A policeman found a photo of Vicky and Tom 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 rainforest? The police said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point (地点) 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.
