【題目】The idea that red means stop and green means has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信號(hào)). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colors?

Well, it's import to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.

Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the color with the longest wavelength(波長(zhǎng)) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.

But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.

So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them, they've certainly come a long way.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。

【1】What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?

A. Trains B. Boats. C. Planes D. Bicycles

【2】Which of the following colors meant go at first?

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

【3】Why does red mean danger?

A. Because it's the brightest color. B. Because it can be seen far away.

C. Because railway companies say so. D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.

【4】Why are school buses painted yellow?

A. Because yellow is a prettier color.

B. Because yellow once meat danger.

C. Because yellow can be seen well in daytime.

D. Because yellow means it's OK to go forward.

【5】What does the text mainly tell us?

A. How important traffic lights are.

B. Which color has the longest wavelength.

C. What red, yellow and green can be used for.

D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.

【題目】 There is nothing worse than being cheated. Now body language expert Judi James tells you the key signs to find out whether someone is telling a lie. Here are some ways to help you.

The long stop: Telling a lie is quite difficult for the body and brain to deal with. First your brain produces the truth. Then, you have to hide the truth and invent a lie. After that, you tell the lie. This often leads to a longer stop before answering.

The eye dart: Humans have more eye expressions than any other animal and our eyes can look around if we're trying to hide something. When we look up to our left, we're often recalling memory. But when our eyes roll up to our right, we are thinking new ideas. Also, the guilt(內(nèi)疚)of a lie often makes people use an eye contact cut-off gesture, such as looking down or away.

The lost breath: Bending the truth causes a sudden stress response in most people. The mouth dries, the body sweats more, the pulse rate (心率) becomes quick and the rhythm of the breathing changes to shorter, shallower breaths that can often be both seen and heard.

The poker face: Some people prefer to have the poker face, because they think less is more and almost show less movement and eye contact when they are telling lies.

The face hide: When someone tells a lie they often want to hide their face from their audience. This can lead to a cut-off gesture like nose-touch or mouth-cover.

Self-comfort touches: People often move from side to side, touch their hair or play with wedding rings when they have stress. Most people use self-comfort gestures but this will increase greatly when someone is lying.

【1】Why do people have a long stop before telling a lie?

A. Because they have stress.

B. Because they are recalling memory.

C. Because they don't want to say anything.

D. Because they are thinking of a lie instead of the truth.

【2】What may people do if they have the feeling of guilt?

A. Their eyes look around.B. They look down or away.

C. They look up to their left.D. Their eyes roll up to their right.

【3】What may people do when they feel stressful suddenly?

A. They have the poker face.B. They have less movement.

C. Their hearts beat more quickly.D. They have more eye expressions.

【4】How many key signs of telling lies are written in the passage?

A. 4.B. 5.C. 6.D. 7.

【5】The writer wants to tell us…

A. the problem of telling lies.B. the reason why people tell lies.

C. the importance of body language.D. the ways to discover people telling lies.
