A nationwide survey released earlier this year said an average Chinese adult read less than eight books in 2015, among which 4.58 were paper books and 3.26 e-books. With digital books becoming more popular, many people would find it hard to remember the last time they sat down in a bookstore and enjoyed a quiet moment.

But this does not mean that bookstores are losing their

customers. To lure more readers, bookstores are now bigger, more beautiful and grander. Here are some of them. Zhongshuge

Walking into a Zhongshuge bookstore is like entering a sea of books, above the ceiling overhead, beneath the floor under your feet, on the walls, and under the steps of the staircases. Zhongshuge is known for its beautiful designs. The brand now has chains in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou. The Bookworm

The Bookworm is bookshop, bar and café all in one. Hidden in downtown Beijing’s Sanlitun bar area, the place is among the most popular for foreigners looking for some international experiences in the Chinese capital.

told she would spend an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.

Emily stood awkwardly（别扭地）in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, ‘Good afternoon. I’m Emily.’

‘Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please.’ Mrs Blair replied. Then, 75 filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say. ‘Tell me about yourself, Emily.’ Mrs Blair said suddenly.

‘Well,’ Emily started, ‘I don’t have any grandparents, so I don’t know how to get on well with elderly people. I love the performing arts. I’m here mainly because I have to volunteer here to get a good grade for my Civics class.’

Mrs Blair didn’t seem to mind. ‘Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to 76 old people like me. Now you are here, and I’m going to change that about you. Ask me anything.’

Something changed a few years ago. Around 2012, teens started to spend their time much differently from the generations before. I started to notice big differences in teens’ b 81 and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11 million young people.

A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iphone. For this reason, I call them iGen (iphone generation).

What makes iGen different?

Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day, so they have less free time for everything else. That i 82 going to parties, shopping at the mall or watching movies with their friends. These were o 83 the favorite activities of most teens. But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at a lower rate than others.

A link that should be noticed

I wondered if these changes might be c 84 to their deteriorating (退化) mental health. Sure enough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed. Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook for a week and others to continue using it. Those who gave up Facebook felt happier, less l 85 and less disappointed during the week as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies, etc.

What else is lost?

Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showed that the sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp w 86 using screens ended time better at reading expressions on others’ faces.

That isn’t to say that iGen teens don’t have a 87 . They are physically safer and more tolerant (宽容). They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations. To my surprise, the iGen teens I interviewed said they preferred seeing their friends in person to communicating with them using their phones.

But it might be just what iGen needs.
