2026年期末直通车八年级英语下册外研版第123页答案
B
I'm a traveller in the sky. The wind is my guide, and it takes me on journeys. Right now, as the morning light passes through my body, I'm flying above the mountains of Zhangjiajie.
The rock called Qiankun Column catches my eye first. It's about 150 metres high—so high that I can touch it! Its special shape also surprises me—It's like a huge stone sword(石剑) pointing to the sky. Below, there are many trees around so the rock stands out more.
I move on and see Gold Whip Stream. It goes through a large forest and people say it's home to all kinds of birds. Look! There's a golden pheasant(红腹锦鸡)! It's looking at itself in the water! Its body is a mix of bright red, gold, yellow and green. The beautiful colours make the water even livelier.
Suddenly, the sun disappears when I'm flying forward. I see people building a traditional house. I want to take a closer look, so I become rain and fall slowly. It's a Tujia stilt house, like a treehouse, but not in the tree. The bottom part has no walls, and the top part is where people live. This stops the water from coming in. What's more, in Tujia culture, no one builds a stilt house alone. People in the same village come together to help. This tradition makes building easier and connects people with each other.
When the moon climbs over the mountains, it's time for me to leave Zhangjiajie. However, I will never forget this magical land—its sights, its animals and its culture.

I remember lying on the grass and counting stars with my parents when I was a child. My life was full of fun then. However, children today are busy with schoolwork or they are glued to their
screens. In fact, there are many cool new hobbies for them to see the outside world. Let's take a look!
Geocaching is a popular treasure-searching game. The "treasure" is usually a box with a notebook and gifts. You can find the box in a park or other outdoor places. Just open the Geocaching app, choose a "treasure" near you, and then the app will offer a puzzle(谜) to help you find it.
Bird watching is also a great activity. You just need binoculars(双筒望远镜) and a guidebook. Then you can be a bird-watcher and head into nature to watch wild birds alone or in a team. As you watch them with your guidebook, you'll get to know their names, looks and habits (习惯). Remember to move slowly, stay quiet, and protect the birds' space for the best experience.
These hobbies are so special that they benefit(使……受益) you in different ways. When you search for "treasures" through geocaching, you're not just walking around—you're solving real-world problems with GPS and discovering hidden places. Bird watching provides you with a chance to learn about different birds and their homes, and help with scientific research. As well as helping you see nature differently, the two hobbies make you learn new skills and grow as a person!
Why not stay away from screens and give one of these unusual hobbies a try? They might become your new favourite source of happiness.
