Question

A

     Each country has its own flag. National flags are often designed with many kinds of shapes on them,such as the sun,stars,the moon,animals and bars.

     Which of these do you think appear most often on flags,the moon,stars,or the sun? More flags have stars than either the sun or the moon. There are more than 50 countries in the world which have stars on their flags.

     Stars are a special image. They mean “ hope ”，“everlasting”，and “forever”. Stars are very bright,so many newly independent countries use stars to show hope for a bright future. The USA was the first country to use stars to show its new independence.

     In Islam,stars have a holy meaning. Most Arabic countries have flags with five point stars to show the five practices of the Islam religious faith. Also,stars are used in Arabic countries because of the wide use of the mathematic shapes in Islamic art.
