During ancient times,children didn't have smart phones,pads or computers to have fun.Instead,they came up with interesting games to play.Let's have a look.
Kites have quite a long history.The earliest kites were made of wood.Now in China,the three most famous kites are Beijing kite,Tianjin kite and Weifang kite,and each of them has its own characteristic (特点).
Diabolo (空竹) is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空的) in the center.When you put them on ropes,the highspeed rotating (旋转) diabolo will make a sound.Playing diabolo is a very interesting game and especially popular in North China.
The closest thing to watching a movie or TV during ancient times was watching a shadow play (皮影戏).People control puppets behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story.Shadow play was listed as national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006.
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2,000 years.It is said that people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make it blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China.Firecrackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to stand for hope and luck.

When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behavior,how do they know who's who?
In the past,scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to recognize (识别) them.But in the future,they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify (认出) thousands of snubnosed monkeys (金丝猴) that live in the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province.Similar to human facial recognition,the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database (数据库) that includes every monkey,Xinhua reported.
“When the system is fully developed,we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains.The system will automatically recognize the monkeys,name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He,a member of the research team.“For each snubnosed monkey,we have 700 to 800 image samples (样本),and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added.
“We used mobile phones and cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang,a member of the research team and a professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University.“There is no need to interfere...Such a method of sampling is clearly noninvasive (非侵入性的).”
Compared to humans,facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces.The color of their hair causes them to blend into (融入) their environment.These_factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
“Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do.It is difficult to take highquality pictures and videos of them,which are needed to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo,leader of the research team.
Now there are about 4,000 snubnosed monkeys living in the Qinling Mountains.The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

A.It is now widely used in China.

C.It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.
D.It can help scientists study monkeys without hurting them.
