【推荐1】Birdwatching is becoming more and more popular in many parts of the world. Birdwatchers enjoy looking for and listening to different kinds of birds. To watch birds all you need is a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜), a field guide and love for birds.

If you are just starting birdwatching, buy one of the cheaper pairs of binoculars. You can choose better ones when your needs and skill grow. A field guide helps you learn about the birds’ appearances(外貌), calls and habits before birdwatching.

Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food. Most of the time, you will hear bird calls from all around you, but will not see any birds easily. Look for movement in trees, and bring your binoculars to your eyes.

The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify(辨认) the birds he/she sees. A bird’s shape, size, colour and habits can help a birdwatcher identify it. When you identify a bird, don’t forget to take notes about it on your notebook.

Stonehenge is an ancient circle of stones in the south of England. It was built about 5,000 years ago. Every year, it attracts thousands of tourists to enjoy its beauty. They also wonder about how and why it was built.

There are about 80 stones and each is about five meters tall. The stones were 380 kilometers away from where they were made. The ancient people had only wooden tools. To move the stones they probably used tree trunks (树干) to roll them along. So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge. Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the heavy stones. How did people move these huge pieces of stone from the place so far? No one knows the answer. One record said the great stones were carried to England by huge magical (有魔力的) aliens! But we don’t know.

Some scientists believe that Stonehenge was a temple. Some believe it was a place to bury dead people or perhaps it was used to study the stars and the sky at night. Others think it was even used to tell the time. Whatever the stones were used to do, they have always been the pride of British people.
