I’ve spent the whole morning indoors, and want to get some fresh air. The library makes it possible to enjoy reading in such a nice environment.

Do you feel bored with the upcoming summer? We asked parents for ideas for things that teens can do and here are some suggestions for fun activities for you to do in the summer.
#1 Search Out Family History.
Visit older family members and interview them about the past of your family. You could use a smartphone to record some of the conversations (对话). Things to ask about:
●What did you eat?
●Who was your favorite family member?
●What did you do to make yourself happy?
●What was it like when you were a teenager?
#2 Clear Out Your Room.
Not only will you make your parents really happy, but you will find all those lost CDs/books/socks that are hidden under the bed.
You can now have a yard sale for the things you no longer want, and make yourself some pocket money at the same time.
#3 Create a Memory Book.
Put together a memory book. It could be about primary or junior school since you’re heading to high school:
●friends made
●best memories
●favorite teachers
●favorite subjects
●hopes/feelings about going to high school, etc.
#4 Help on a Nearby Farm.
Get down and work on the farm and have a bit of fun. You never know you might love driving tractors (拖拉机) and feeding cows and horses. If nothing else, it will give you a good taste of what a hard life farming is.
31. According to the passage, teens today know nothing about their older family members.
32. Having a yard sale can help you make some money.
33. It’s interesting to create a memory book after entering high school.
34. Helping on a nearby farm can give you a taste of the hard life of farming.
35. The passage is about activities for teens to do in the summer.

The first “forest library” in Shanghai recently opened to the public, giving readers the chance to relax and read in a natural environment.
Known as Read & Joy Forest, the forest library was built by Pudong New Area and Shanghai Library. The library is in an urban (城市的) green space area near Shanghai Library East. It allows visitors to take an enjoyable walk in the quiet and green forest.
The library is in the open air and equipped with facilities (设施) such as benches and an information booth (询问处). It has become very popular these days.
“I learnt about the forest library from my friends, so I came here,” said Ms Wang, a 21-year-old college student.
“My eyes often hurt after working on the computer, but the green outdoor environment helps kill the pain of my eyes. I will come back for sure.”
Having a library in the woods is really different from their reading experience in the past, according to Xu Qiang, one of the leaders of Shanghai Library. So readers are more interested in reading in such a different way.
Most of the visitors to the forest library were young people and parents with their children, who either focused on reading or took an easy walk in the forest. “I was really attracted (吸引) by the fresh air and the smell of the trees here. I’ve spent the whole morning indoors, and want to get some fresh air. The library makes it possible to enjoy reading in such a nice environment. I feel very relaxed here,” said Tom sitting on a bench.
