[听力原文] ？？春节时，中国人常常说：“过年了。”那么，“年”这个词是怎么来的呢？传说古时候，在一座山上，有一种可怕的动物，它的名字叫作“年”。在冬天的时候，山上没有食物，“年”就会跑下山来，到村子里的人家找吃的。它的样子很恐怖，所以小孩子看见它，都被它吓得哇哇直哭，然后就会生病。爸爸妈妈都很烦恼，该怎么办呢？有人想出了一个办法：在“年”快要来的时候就放鞭炮，“年”听到鞭炮，看着火光，发出巨大的声音，觉得害怕极了，就逃跑了，跑到了很远的地方，再也没有回来过。所以后来在冬季，大家就习惯放鞭炮，现在已经变成了庆祝新年到来的传统活动。 古时候，传说“年”是什么？（）
A．一种动物
B．一种食物
C．一种药品
D．一种玩具
