What comes to your mind when you see a school bus? It's just a vehicle (交通工具) to take students home to school, 1 for 24-year-old Angus Luff, a school bus can be something more.
Angus turned an old school bus into a "hotel on wheels(轮子)". Now, he works as a guide and is busy giving 2 to people and taking visitors on trips.
Angus came up with the idea 3 watching a movie. He soon decided to put this idea into 4 . Angus bought an old school bus in 2019. The next year, Angus took off the 5 from the bus and made it into a hotel. His hotel is just like a big and 6 house with beds, chairs and a kitchen. Six people, at most, can 7 in it.
In the summer of 2021, Angus went on his first trip with a group of people. He feels happy to do what he likes. "I 8 trips every week," said Angus. "I'm happy to see other people enjoy it". People in Angus's town all think of Angus as a good 9 to the young.
In fact, "hotel on wheels" isn't a new idea. If we have such a hotel, we will visit other places more 10 and make ourselves feel more relaxed.

You may know that exercise can help you lose weight. However, it has a lot of other good effects(影响) too. Even if you are healthy, there are several reasons that you should exercise.
First, exercise can give you energy(精力). When you are tired during the day, take a walk or go for a run. Scientists looked over 70 different studies about exercise and tiredness. Over 90 percent of the studies showed the same result: Exercise increased(增加)energy and reduced tiredness.
Second, exercise can help you sleep better. Not having enough sleep is one of the main causes of stress(精神压力). Exercising raises your body temperature(温度). Then it goes back to normal(正常) about five to six hours later. You become sleepy at this point because the drop in temperature tells your body that it's time to sleep.
Also, exercise can reduce stress and worry. Doing sports for 20 minutes can make you feel relaxed. How? When you exercise, you have to focus on(专注于) your body, so you can't think about your stressful thoughts.
Exercise can improve your life in so many ways. It can make you feel better, look better, and do more. So why are you sitting there reading? Go out and exercise!

Celebrating(庆祝) Chinese New Year with Chinese friends can be great, but, because of the cultural gap（文化差异）, it can be really easy to give the wrong gift for Chinese New Year. Here are four things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift.
Wallet-Loss of your finances(财源)
In Chinese Spring Festival culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all your money and you might lose all your finances and luck. However, it is no problem to give a wallet to your family member who already shares your money.
Handkerchiefs（手帕）-Saying goodbye forever
People generally give handkerchiefs at the end of a funeral(葬礼). Handkerchiefs are a symbol of saying goodbye forever. Giving someone a gift like this insinuates you are saying goodbye forever.
Umbrellas-Break up
Umbrellas are a bad idea to give as gifts, because the Chinese word for "umbrella" sounds like the word "San" for "breaking up". Giving somebody an umbrella may mean that you feel your relationship has fallen apart.
Shoes-Evil(邪恶)
Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for "shoes" sounds exactly like a word for bad luck or "evil". And shoes are something that you step on, they are considered as (被认为)bad gifts.
