Nobody knew that Gemma had a secret(稳密)．Not even her older sister or her parents had any idea．She never told anyone, because she didn't think that they would understand．Everyone knew that Gemma was imaginative(富于想象力的)．They also knew that she was a very shy and quiet young girl．What they didn't know was that Gemma's best friend was imaginary．They had been friends for more than two years．Her name was Taylor．She was the very best friend that a young girl could hope for．
Gemma and Taylor often played together．They often played on the swings in the park．They also liked to play with Gemma's dolls(玩具娃娃)in her bedroom．
At night they talked with each other and shared stories until Gemma fell asleep．Even when Gemma was with other friends, she always thought about Taylor．They were always together and sharing jokes between themselves．
One day Taylor disappeared．Gemma was very sad．She looked everywhere for her, but she was nowhere to be found．She couldn't even tell her family why she was so▲ because they had no idea about Taylor．
For a long time，Gemma was very quiet and didn't speak very much to anyone．After she finally accepted that Tyler was gone，she made new friends and grew even closer to her sisters．
Losing Taylor made Gemma love her family and Mends more．She always remembered Taylor though and all the fun that she brought into her life．

One year, two Australians，Adam and Stephen，decided to go to Jamboree(童子军大会)by bike．It was in Sweden，about 20，000 kilometers from their home in Adelaide! They didn't take normal bikes；they took bikes with three wheels instead．These are more comfortable and easier to ride up hills．
They took everything they needed．They had a tent each，things to cook with，clothes，maps，computers and phones，and things to repair the bikes．They also took their passports (护照)because they planned to travel through 22 different countries．
The journey began in Australia but it didn't go well．After just a few days，Adam's bike broke．He left Stephen and went back home by coach (长途汽车)．He got a new wheel for his bike，then bought a plane ticket and flew to Perth．In Perth, he took a train to a town called Merridien．After he got off the train，he put his bike together and rode to meet Stephen．
After that，they flew to Johannesburg and then they began their bike ride though Africa. They slept in tents by the road，and in some places they saw a lot of wild(野生的)animals .One night, they could hear lions ,and another night , an elephant walked past their tents．
In Europe, they rode up some very high mountains．And the most wonderful thing， they thought，was that they saw snow for the first time in their lives．
In every country，along the way，Adam and Stephen met a lot of interesting people and had lots of interesting people and had lots of adventures(奇遇)．The journey took 269 days．
