If we are driving a car or crossing a street, we will stop when the traffic lights turn red. Why do we use red rather than other colors?

As we know, scattering (散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media, if the wavelength (波长) is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.

Of all light we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.

Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. If drivers don’t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen. Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red.

In a word, red light helps drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.

1.______ has the longest wavelength of all light we can see.

A. Red               B. Green           C. Yellow          D. Black

2.Red light travels farther on ______ days.

A. windy             B. sunny           C. rainy         D. cloudy

3.Red can make people act more quickly because ____________.

A. red can make people happier              B. the scattering of red is very short

C. the scattering of red is very long           D. red can make people more excited

4.The underlined word “prevent” means ______ in Chinese.

    A.逃避               B. 防止            C. 处理         D. 检查

5.The passage mainly tells us ____________.

A. why accidents happen                     B. how the red light travels

C. why we use red traffic lights               D. how to stop in time at traffic lights

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.
“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值)。 It was still worth ¥ l00!”
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crum-pled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn‘t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
