13．　　Yuan Longping, known as China's "father of hybrid rice (杂交水稻)", created hybrid rice that helps feed the world. On May 22, Yuan died at 91. People around the world were sad to hear of his passing.
　　In the 1960s, people in China didn't have enough food to eat. Many people even died because of this. Yuan was sad to see this. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid rice. He thought this rice could feed more people. At the time, other scientists didn't think hybrid rice was possible. But Yuan wanted to try anyway. He spent four years looking for wild rice that could be crossed (杂交) with other plants. In 1964, he found it!
　　In 1973, he grew the world's first hybrid rice strain (品种). It could reach a yield of over 500 kg per mu, higher than the 300-kg yields of other kinds of rice. Farmers can grow it on many different kinds of land. It can fight bad weather and disease, too.
　　Kenneth M. Quinn, president emeritus (名誉主席) of the World Food Prize Foundation, said Yuan was a "down-to-earth" scientist. "He always seemed more at home in a field than an office, and was most comfortable in his working clothes," Quinn told China Daily.
　　Yuan himself also said, "If I am not at home, I must be on the farmland; if I am not on the farmland, I must be on my way to the farmland." He often rode a motorcycle to work, as this was more convenient for him.
　　Because of his great achievements, Yuan won many prizes, including the Medal of the Republic, the highest honor in China. But Yuan still lived a simple life. He didn't care too much about money. He donated most of his prize money to a foundation to help young scientists. "I don't like being a politician and I'm not a businessman," he once said.

15．　　Chinese people call the Spring Festival "Nian". But do you know that Nian was once the name of a monster?
　　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 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.
