1 . When we were kids, summer activities were a great escape. My only goal each day was to figure out the bigger thrill: hide-and-seek with my cousins, a ball game with my brother, or rereading detective stories for hours on end. Fun was the only endgame(最后阶段).
The first step towards having more fun with summer activities is setting aside time for it.
Then be a tourist in your own town. When you live somewhere long enough, it stops being an interesting destination and becomes just the surrounding area.
Your interests have probably changed as you have got older, but that doesn’t mean what you did as a kid isn’t exciting. So invoke(唤起) your inner child. Head to the park and play a game of basketball with your cousins or take your dog to the park for a game of Frisbee.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest because summer’s best days will be here and gone before you know it.
| A．We are adults now or almost. |
| B．But that doesn’t mean it does no harm. |
| C．Treat your hometown like a new destination. |
| D．Carve out some quality time to do absolutely nothing. |
| E．Make weekends meaningful by setting good boundaries. |
| F．Borrow some baseball gloves and play catch with friends. |
| G．But when was the last time you actually did any of those things? |

5 . You may be concerned about how to clear clutter (杂乱的东西) from your bedroom and basement.
Define “weeds” for yourself.
I have always defined weeds as “unwanted plants”. Some, like clover (三叶草),have positive characteristics like enriching the soil. Others, like dandelion greens, can be eaten. So one gardener's weeds might be another gardener's dinner! Decide what you truly value.
Enjoy the weeding process.
Weed removal is a never-ending process. Try to treat the activity in a positive way. You can casually pull weeds as you spot them when walking by your gardens.
After months of being absorbed in colorful garden catalogue, I often hit the nursery (苗圃) in May, filled with inspiration and adventure. “This year,” I say, “I'll try everything!” But time has taught me that this wild ambition can work against me. If I choose too many plants to experiment with, my plantings will crowd each other out. Try making a map of your garden before you head to the garden center, using the recommended spacing to guide your design.
Reassess your garden tool collection.
Just like indoor clutter, garden clutter can result from having too many tools. Some tools are necessary for every gardener.
| A．Make a clear garden plan. |
| B．Sort out your garden tools. |
| C．But what about clutter in your garden? |
| D．And then pull the rest, without hesitation. |
| E．Weeds can crowd out your intentional plantings. |
| F．But too many of them can also cause trouble to you. |
| G．Or you can set aside time to go all out for weed removal. |
