We have been taught from a young age that red means stop and green means go. So why were these colors chosen for traffic lights? And what's the history behind the colors?

To trace the connection between the colors and traffic lights，we have to travel back in time to the earliest railroad signals(信号灯) developed in the 1830s. Those first railroad signals were the forerunner of our modern stoplights.Like modern traffic controls，they contained three lights:one for stop，one for caution(警告)，and one for go. The original color system was different from our modern system，though. Red meant stop，green meant caution，and white meant go.

The choice of red for stop was fairly obvious，since red-the color of blood—-has been associated with danger for thousands of years, long before cars were even around, Scientifically speaking，red is the color with the longest wavelength which means that as it travels，it gets spread less in different directions than other colors，so it can be seen from a greater distance.

Why green and white were chosen for the other signals remains a bit of a mystery. It's possible that the two colors were chosen because how they contrasted(反差)with red. This system of color-coded signals remained in place(仍然有效) for several decades until it became clear that using white for go could cause serious problems.Around 1914，a train signal's red lights broke down，causing it to appear white. As a train approached the signal，it was sup-posed to stop，but the driver believed the white meant go.The result was a terrible train crash. After that，the color for go was eventually changed to green.

To provide the most contrast between red and green，yellow was then chosen as the new color for caution，because it can be seen well at all times of the day. After cars were invented and went into mass production，a similar signaling system was needed to control the flow of traffic. When traffic lights were put up，it became standard for them as well.

28.How does the author describe the original traffic lights?

A.By listing an example.

B. By offering a suggestion.

C.By making a comparison.

D.By showing the importance.

29. Why is the color red chosen for stop?

A. It is the easiest to recognize all day long.

B.It reminds people of accidents and danger.

C.It spreads fastest in all directions in the air.

D. It has proved the least harmless to our eyes.

30. What caused the accident in paragraph 4?

A. The driver's tiredness.

B.The train's high speed.

C. The travel system's shortcoming.

D. The white light's failing to work.

31. Which can be the best title for the text?

A.How did the present traffic lights form?

B. Why was the first traffic system invented?

C. Why did white disappear from the traffic lights?

D.How did an accident change the traffic systems?

D

A seven-word sentence was discovered on a 3,700-year-old comb(梳子)，which is likely the oldest known sentence written in letters，according to a new study.The sentence is in Canaanite(迦南语)，which is the source(来源) of later letter systems in European languages.

The comb was first discovered in 2016 in Israeli. However，it wasn't until 2021 that are searcher from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem first noticed the words when checking the photo of the comb. The researchers were not able to directly date the comb. They believed it dated from around 1700 BC based on comparison of the letters with those on pottery(陶器)with a known age.

Garfinkel，a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem，said，“The Canaanites invented the letters.Nowadays every person in the world can read and write using the letter system. This is really one of the most important achievements of humankind. When you are writing in English，you're really using Canaanite.”

Small groups of Canaanite letters discovered on broken pieces of pottery before did not leave much room for further research on the lives of the Canaanites.But this find of a sentence written in the first letter-based language opens up the debate about the history during the ancient time period.

Garfinkel said，“The sentence was found on an ivory comb in the ancient city's palace and temple area，which could suggest that only wealthy men were able to read and write.”The earliest writing system started around 5,000 years ago，which relied on hundreds of pictographs (象形文字) to represent words，ideas and sounds. Canaanites were the first to use letters in their writing system.“It shows that even in the most ancient times there were full sentences，which further suggests that Canaanites stood out among the early civilizations in their use of the written word.”

32.What do we know about Canaanite?

A. It has a history of 3,700 years.

B. It is the oldest known language.

C. Its sentences are in many languages.

D. Its letters are still in use at present.

33.How was the complete sentence in Canaanite found?

A. It was discovered on some pottery.

B.It was identified on a comb in 2016.

C.It was recognized when dating the comb.

D.It was recognized on a photo of the comb.

34.What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?

A.The influence of Canaanite letters.

B.The rules of using Canaanite letters.

C.The problem in identifying the Canaanite sentence.

D.The explanation of the discovered Canaanite sentence.

35.What does Garfinkel think of the new discovery in the last paragraph?

A.Useless.    B.Meaningful.    C. Confusing.    D.Unacceptable.

One summer，I went on a four-day desert trip with my family.On the train，I looked out of the window， expecting something surprising to happen on this desert trip.I was very excited all the way，talking about what would happen in the desert with my parents，standing up and looking around,

After what seemed passed quickly，we arrived at the destination，which was the endless desert as far as the eye could see.Everywhere was dull yellow，and there were no trees，and the vastness of the desert shocked each of us.

Before we started our journey，the guide explained the rules to us: We'd better put on sun-protective clothing and hold onto the hiking pole. We had to walk 18 kilometers per day for four days. There were two routes that we could choose from. One was down the hill.There were rivers and vegetation(植被).The road was relatively flat，easy to walk，and it was not so hot.The other route was through the real desert，which was all sand and no water and dust storms often happened.Even before starting the hike，we could feel it blowing into our eyes.We had to go step by step，and our feet could often get stuck in the sand.We needed to arrive at the next destination before 6 pm.There would be a rest area every five kilo-meters，where we could drink water and eat some food. If we really couldn't persist(坚持)，we could quit and take the car. Those who did persist to the end would have a surprise.

Everyone was discussing with excitement after they heard the rules.Many people wanted to fight for the first place.Personally，I wanted to win the surprise as well.Most of the people，including my friends，took the first route，but two adults and one child took the other.Yes，that was my parents and me. I just wanted to break through and challenge myself.
