was once the name of a monster(妖怪)?
A long time ago, the monster Nian lived in the mountains. It ate
animals. But in winter, it could not find food. So it came to villages and
ate a lot of people. People were so afraid of Nian that they locked their
doors before evening came during the winter. One day, an old man came to a
village. He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things——the
color red, fire and noise. He told people to play drums and gongs, make
big fires and set off fireworks(放鞭炮)to make Nian go away.
On a moonless, cold night, Nian went to the village again. As soon as it
opened its big mouth, people made loud noises and made fires. Nian was
really afraid and ran away. wherever it went, there was noise and fire.
When Nian was tired and could not run anymore, people killed the monster.
After that, on the coldest day of winter, people beat drums and gongs,
and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian. They
put up red lanterns and have a big dinner without sleeping during the
night.
In the morning people greet each other happily. So now we have the
Spring Festival.

Color helps you see things．But man and some monkeys and apes(猿)are the only mammals(哺乳动物)that can see color．To any other mammal, such as the dog ,the world looks like a black and white photo．Dogs hunt mainly by listening and smelling．
Like other animals, dogs see best when things move．The animals they hunt seem to know this．A rabbit or deer will freeze when they find that they are being hunted．Then the dog may not see it at all．
Birds can see color．They need to ,because they fly and need to find place to land．Color helps them know how far the place is and what it is like so that they are able to catch flying things in the air or land on something they think safe．
Some birds see things even better than man do．The birds that eat bugs(飞虫)can see them from far away．And even a very young bird can see a house from high up in the sky．So good eyes and being able to see colors help birds find food and also help them find out if there are any animals that are dangerous to them．
