Della Gao backpack
This backpack will have you feeling safe, with lockable zips (拉链). It has three main compartments and at 17 inches, has a large overall space for keeping important items. It’s a wise choice for business travel, university or if you’re going on holiday with high-value items.

Maxtop backpack
If what you’re after in a backpack is a lot of space, then this bag will be the one for you. It comes with metal zippers and a USB port, plus it can be folded up when not in use. It also has a D-ring for you to hang a key or other items if desired.

2 . Volunteering is a great way for teenagers to make a difference and meet new people. There are many different types of volunteer opportunities for teens available. Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up.
Help at a local food bank
Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repackage donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes.
Help at a soup kitchen
A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run primarily on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and utensils (用具), help distribute food, cook food and more.
Volunteer for Meals on Wheels
By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love to get behind the wheel for any reason! They can make a massive impact in a short amount of time. Alternatively, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives.
Work with Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing fund-raising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or one-time program.

3 . In most cases, mice definitely don't appeal to people in real life. But when they appear in films, it will be totally different.
Stuart Little in Stuart Little
Stuart Little is a 1999 live-action science-fiction comedy adventure film, based on 1945 novel of the same name by E. B. White.
Stuart is a mouse but can speak like humans. Despite his little size, the talking white mouse is never afraid to be himself and try big things.
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore in Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin, Simon and Theodore are three mice in Alvin and the Chipmunks, a 2007 American live action musical comedy film. The tree that they live in is cut down and driven to Los Angeles. There, they meet David Seville, a struggling songwriter and composer, who has changed them into a very successful band of singers.
Remy in Ratatouille
Remy is a highly intelligent and idealistic young rat in the 2007 American computer-animated comedy film Ratatouille. With unusual senses of taste and smell, he dreams of becoming a chef like his idol(偶像), the late Auguste Gusteau.
He befriends Linguini, the garbage boy, in Suguste Gusteau's restaurant and has helped him become a famous cook. He hides under Linguini's hat and guides his movements by pulling on his hair.
Totoro in My Neighbor Totoro
It is hard to relate the character in the Japanese animation film My Neighbour Totoro to any creature close to a mouse. But the image for Totoro was inspired by something similar to a mouse-chinchilla. The animation film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki in 1988.

5 . Great Activities for Nature Lovers
Hiking
One of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn’t require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.
Backcountry Camping
Why limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend (or longer) adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.
Mountain and Road Biking
Unlike long hikes through the woods, biking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren’t suited for rugged terrain, consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.
Gardening
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to travel beyond your own backyard to experience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. There’s something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grew yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in nature is that it doesn’t have to break your budget and anyone can do it.
