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, a field guide and your love for birds.
If you are just starting birdwatching, buy a pair of cheaper binoculars. A field guide helps you learn about the birds' appearances, calls and habits before birdwatching.
When you are ready, it's best to go to the wild with someone who is more experienced. You can join a birdwatching group to learn about some beginning skills.
Start birdwatching in the morning, when birds are searching for food. Most of the time, you will hear birds' calls from all around you, but you will not see any birds easily. Look for the movement in trees, and bring your binoculars to your eyes. The most important work for a birdwatcher is to identify(识别) 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.
To find more and different birds, you may wish to plan trips to birds' different living areas: forests, lakes, rivers, wetlands, etc.
When watching the birds, you should always keep in mind: resp ect wildlife and protect their living areas.
As a country strong in math, China has many folk games filled with math wisdom. You may have played many of them before. Let's take a look at two of them.
Luban Lock Luban Lock was first created by Chinese carpenter Lu Ban about 2,000 years ago. It is said that Lu used six wooden pieces to make a toy that looks like a lock for his son. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It's hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban Lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban Locks made up of nine or more pieces. | |
Huarong Pass Huarong Pass is a traditional Chinese block-moving puzzle. Every block is named after a character in the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, like Cao Cao, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. To succeed in the game, players have to move the blocks to get "Cao Cao" out. This is a test of one's math knowledge, for example, of geometric area (几何面积). According to the Chinese Puzzle website, it takes at least 81 steps to set "Cao Cao" free. |

You'll find thousands of methods on how to live a better,healthier life online. Some are great!Others,not so much. But there is a method for getting better sleep. It has been getting some attention online. It's called the "10﹣3﹣2﹣1﹣0 Method"
The "10" means that we should have stopped drinking coffee 10 hours before bed,because coffee can keep us awake. | The "3" means not eating big meals or drinking alcohol (酒) within three hours of going to bed. That's to avoid problems caused by eating too much at night—although some people say that eating a little of food later in the evening can actually be good for our bodies. |
For the "2",it means about two hours before bed we should write down our jobs for the next day and rest our brains. | Then,one hour before bed,we should avoid using phones or computers(周期). That's the "1". |
So what's the "0"?This is for the number of times you'll need to cancel your alarm (闹钟) in the morning,because you have a great sleep!That's to say |
However,this method is just an idea,and it may not work for everyone. So you might have to try another of those methods if this one doesn't work for you!
