When the traffic lights turn red, we will stop driving a car or crossing a street. Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?
As we know, scattering(散射)happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, the scattering will be long.
Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red travels far. In fact, it travels faster 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 unti l 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 lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.
1．When the traffic lights turn _______, we will stop driving a car.
A．red B．green C．yellow D．dark
2．According to the passage, the scattering of the red light is the _______.
A．longest B．weakest C．farthest D．strongest
3．The underlined word “wavelength” in P aragraph 2 means _______ in Chinese.

4．What can the red light help drivers do?
A．It can help drivers in farther areas see the lights.
B．It helps drivers slow down or stop in time.
C．It can make the drivers act more quickly.
D．All the above.
5．Which of the following is the best title?

15、Have you seen Liu Wen, a happy, confident and beautiful lady in the recent reality TV show We Are in Love? In the show, Liu and South Korean pop star Choi Siwon pretend to be a couple.
The 27-year-old Liu is so far the most successful Chinese model on the international stage. As a runway regular in Paris, Milan and New York fashion shows, her shiny image has been on the cover of just about every major fashion magazine. But China’s first supermodel said she hadn’t realized her beauty until recent years. “When I was younger, nobody said I was a pretty girl,” she said. “My smaller eyes were a far cry from the big eyes of the most beloved TV actresses.”
What was unusual for Liu was her height. Her life changed in 2005 after entering a modeling competition. From then on, she stepped out of her hometown in Hunan to Beijing and then in 2008 to New York City.
When she first got to the US, Liu said she only knew three English phrases: hello, thank you and goodbye. But she worked hard, learning the language and developing both friendships and dreams.
Now Liu is one of the world’s top models. She has also been used to hearing people say “You’re beautiful”. “I feel so happy because I’m living my dream,” she said. “For Chinese girls it’s very hard to work internationally. But my fellow Chinese models and I are doing our best despite the challenges we face overseas.
“In this sense, every independent and confident woman should be thought of as beautiful,” she said.

16、The other day I came across a few local musicians and happened to hear them talking:
"I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can't even understand a bit of music."
"I'm never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us."
But one younger musician said, "There are a few clubs that book my band (乐队) a few nights a month, and I'm trying to find other places to play. I'm also looking forward to booking a few summer festivals this year."
It's said that you are the average (平均) of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes（态度）are important. Whether they're positive(积极的)or negative (消极的),_____________If you're always around people who complain about short of work and about other musicians or say bad words about others, and you play the role of a victim, it's possible that you will start to as well. So it's time to take a look at the people you call "friends", as what kind of friends you have decides what kind of life you are going to live.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you often go out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don't become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it and learn from them. Ask if they will help you get the work you're looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

Over seven years ago when I first started rock climbing I was frustrated(挫败的). I thought I would be natural for climbing. I was always an athlete and naturally good at sports. So, I didn’t understand why I was so bad at rock climbing.
I went to the rock gym and climbed all the time, and everyone kept telling me “just climb more and you’ll get better.” “Well, however, nothing I did was working. It felt like the harder I worked at it, the less progress I was actually making. After a while, I even started hating any climber who was stronger and better than me---especially the climbers who made it look so easy.
After a long time, I started making friends with some of the most experienced climbers around… professionals(专业人员)and full-timers. In fact, I felt so comfortable with them that one afternoon I just came out and simply asked for help. There is a saying, “If you want a shortcut to success, find someone who is successful and ask them to show you how to get there.” It is true in just a few short months. I learned far more from these climbing professionals than what I had learned during the previous(之前的) years of struggle on my own. My climbing changed…my strength, skills, mental toughness, formwork, confidence, everything.
I was no longer the average climber that no one knew. I discovered that climbing like the experts is more about working smarter, not harder(no training 7 days a week). What I discovered is so simple that, looking back now, I realized the biggest thing holding me back from being a bette r climber and having more fun doing it…was Me!

19、Hello, everybody. I am planning a summer trip called “Be a kid in the Mountains”. It will provide us with a meaningful week staying with the students in the mountains.
As many of their parents leave for the city to work, those students might feel lonely and some may even find it hard to go on studying. So we can bring them some school things like books and pens for their study, and prepare some interesting stories to share. In the daytime, we can go hiking and do some teamwork. In the evening, we can do such activities as popular games and group dance around the fire.
Isn’t that exciting? Come and join us. Let’s be “a kid in the mountains”. I believe it will bring sunshine to the children in the mountains as well as more confidence to us.
Thank you!。
