年兽大家都熟悉吧,它是很凶残的,吃人不分老幼的吞下去。
这时又到了大年初一,年兽为什么没来,人们还想吓吓它呢!原来年兽老了,把帝位给了它儿子。它儿子很想看看人类世界,老年兽对它说:“人类世界很美丽,又很可怕,人类会放鞭炮吓你,可要小心啊!”小年兽听了老年兽的话就去了人类世界。
当它到人类世界的时候,人们没有吓它,这是怎么回事呢?原来人们等啊等,都没有等到,以为年兽不来了,就没有放鞭炮。小年兽就松懈下来,大着胆子到处逛。直到一个人从楼上看到了年兽才喊起来“年兽来啦!”人们都知道年兽来不了,但是没有什么准备,人们大惊失色,纷纷门户紧闭。
有一个孩子还在路上玩,看到了年兽,他看见年兽个头不高,脸胖嘟嘟的,反而很可爱。它手上还拿着一桶水,可能是以为人类会点鞭炮,用水来灭了火吧。那个小孩:“不要怕!”小年兽看见连小孩都不怕它,气冲冲的回去了。
人们都高兴的喊:“我们打跑年兽啦!”人们兴奋着欢呼着,放起了鞭炮庆祝。从此不管年兽来与不来,放鞭炮成了过年的习俗。
相传,中国古时候有一种叫"年"的怪兽,头长触角,尖牙利齿,目露凶光,凶猛异常。"年"长年深居海底,每到除夕才爬上岸,吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此,每到除夕这天,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山,以躲避"年"兽的伤害。这年除夕,桃花村的人们正扶老携幼上山避难,从村外来了个乞讨的老人,只见他手拄拐杖,臂搭袋囊,银须飘逸,目若朗星。乡亲们有的封窗锁门,有的收拾行装,有的牵牛赶羊,到处人喊马嘶,一片匆忙恐慌景象。这时,谁还有心关照这位乞讨的老人。只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物,并劝他快上山躲避"年"兽,那老人捋髯笑道:"婆婆若让我在家呆一夜,我一定把"年"兽撵走。”老婆婆惊目细看,见他鹤发童颜、精神矍铄,气宇不凡。可她仍然继续劝说,乞讨老人笑而不语。婆婆无奈,只好撇下家,上山避难去了。半夜时分,"年"兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同:村东头老婆婆家,门贴大红纸,屋内烛火通明。"年"兽浑身一抖,怪叫了一声。"年"朝婆婆家怒视片刻,随即狂叫着扑过去。将近门口时,院内突然传来"砰砰啪啪"的炸响声,"年"浑身战栗,再不敢往前凑了。
原来,"年"最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时,婆婆的家门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。"年"大惊失色,狼狈逃蹿了。
第二天是正月初一,避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时,老婆婆才恍然大悟,赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。乡亲们一齐拥向老婆婆家,只见婆婆家门上贴着红纸,院里一堆未燃尽的竹子仍在"啪啪"炸响,屋内几根红蜡烛还发着余光……欣喜若狂的乡亲们为庆贺吉祥的来临,纷纷换新衣戴新帽,到亲友家道喜问好。这件事很快在周围村里传开了,人们都知道了驱赶"年"兽的办法。
从此每年除夕,家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早,还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗就越传越广,成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。
Sometimes I dream about life in the future. What will it be?
Perhaps some people will go to the moon for a holiday or even live on the moon,and some scientists will build cities under the sea to make people live there. We can have a medical examination or do some shopping without leaving our homes,which makes the life more convenient. Maybe we will also do some shopping and work at home.
And I'm sure there'll be more educational programmes on the radio or TV or by the Intemet or videophones,so perhaps some children won't need to go to school every day. They'll study at home.
In the future,all electric equipment at home is under the con-trol of computers. People can learn about the situation of the house by working on the computer at the office. No people like doing housework. Maybe each family will have a robot. Every day we can tell the robot what to do-shopping,housework and so on. believe the dream will come true some day.
What our life will be like in the future?When I was a little boy,I always asked myself this question.At that time,I had no idea what Internet was.But now,we use it every day.We can't live without it.Internet is become so popular and so convenient.
Just forget it.What our life will be like in the future?For example,in ten years.I think that in ten years our life will be much more colorful,our computer will be much powerful,and we can do almost everything on the internet including seeing a doctor.What about your future life ?Will you share with me?
