    The Year of the Goat was a main reason for the low newborns in 2015, a report said.

    There were 16.55 million babies born in China last year, about 320,000 fewer than 2014, the Year of the Horse, it said. China began to allow couples where one partner was an only child to have a second child in late 2013, which made 11 million couples eligible (符合条件的).

    People expected the policy to result in 1 million more births compared with 2014. However, that did not happen. There is an old Chinese saying that 9 out of 10 people born in the Year of the Goat are unlucky in their lives.

    It was reported that the decline (下降) was mainly because of the Year of the Goat. China will likely welcome 17.5 to 21 million newborns yearly in the next five years.

    In 2015, the number of women aged 15 to 49, considered to be of childbearing age, fell by 5 million from 2014, In addition, the group between 20 and 29 years old, who are main childbearing people, has declined by 1.5 million, the report said.

Among babies born last year, the number of first children dropped by 850,000 from 2014, or 4.1 percent, it said. At the same time, the number of the second children increased by 450,000.

    The number of Chinese women of childbearing age reached the highest point in 2011 and then began to decline.

Have you seen any scarecrows (稻草人)? In the countryside of our country, some villagers like to set up some scarecrows in the fields in order to prevent birds from harming their crops. They think that this can play a role in driving away birds. In fact, not only farmers love to use scarecrows, but also some airports have installed scarecrows in such a developed technology today, which plays a very good role in driving away birds. Some people will say that birds are not fools, and they will come back to eat after a long time. So do the birds really feel scared? Can scarecrows really play a role in driving away birds? Not very — unless you're willing to put some extra(额外)effort into them.

While traditional scarecrows who couldn't move do work against "pest birds" (eg. crows and blackbirds), the effect is almost always temporary (暂时的). Over time, the birds get used to scarecrows who couldn't move and reuse their destructive (破坏性的)habits.

However, a few tricks can up your scarecrow's game. Researchers have learned that those with realistic facial features(特征)and brightly colored clothes are better at driving away birds. Also, moving a scarecrow around every few days often helps. According to several studies, flailing(大幅波动) scarecrows get the very best results.

Doorbells are the bells(铃)for people to ring at a door. When someone hears it, he or she can open the door. Do you know that you can ring a doorbell for fish, too?

Every spring, millions of fish migrate(洄游)along the river in the city to find better places to lay eggs. But in the river, there are many locks(水闸). They stop fish from swimming through. Weerd Lock is in Utrecht, the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. When fish get there, they have to wait a long time before the lock opens for boats to pass through. The lock keeper there is glad to open the lock for fish, but he cannot tell when fish want to get through. So in 2021, Mark a scientist, came up with a good idea to help solve this problem— by using the fish doorbell.

Under the water near the lock, there's a camera. People from around the world can visit a website to see fish through the camera. When you see a group of fish waiting, you can ring the doorbell on the screen. And when the lock keeper notices it, he will open the lock for the fish.

In its first spring season in 2021, people around the world rang the fish doorbell more than100,000 times. If you want to join them to help fish, visit the website and ring the fish doorbell next spring!
