The summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year．It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have much time to do during the rest of the year．
We asked about 2，000 people what they would do during the summer vacation．Most of the survey ﹣ takersagreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax．
Alexis said，"At school，I'm really tired，so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many ou tdoor activities．"
Amy is in high school．After school，she sometimes works in a café．She told us，"It's a chance to relax after a hard school year﹣sleep more，and see my friends more．"
We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored．About half（52%）of the survey﹣takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax．And thatis exactly how it should be．
But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance（平衡）between being busy and relaxing．Many thought that they would be too bored．
How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are．Survey﹣takers in their early teens were likely（可能的）to be bored．Among them，40% said they would be bored and only 10% thought they would be too busy．

The last route, the southern route, was from China to Iran and India. It was very necessary for merchants(商人) to trade their goods from China to the west.What does the Silk Road mean in Chinese?

April will bring a new product - the Apple Watch - into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tun Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular style.
Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.
The watch also has "hal)tic feedback(触觉反馈)". You can send personal messages to your friend - such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist. Besides telling the time, the watch will use bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.
According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of. Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping in - passengers may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.
The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running, It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.
