We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its 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 couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its 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 its 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 its the color with the longest wavelength(波长) 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, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long way.（1）What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars? A . Trains.B . Boats.C . Planes.D . Bicycles.（2）Why does red mean danger? A . Because its the brightest color.B . Because it can be seen far away.C . Because railway companies say so.D . Because it has the shortest wavelength.（3）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 its OK to go forward.（4）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.3. （8分）阅读理解 Sometimes our body does things we dont ask it to do. Sneezing(打喷嚏), coughing, blinking(眨眼睛)and even yawning(打哈欠)are examples of involuntary movements or reflex actions(反射动作).What makes our body do these things?These involuntary actions are a response(反应)to a stimulus(刺激).When we do these things, our body is trying to protect itself. If an irritant(刺激物)such as pollen(花粉)from plants gets into our nose or nasal passages(鼻腔通道),our body sneezes to get it out. If we breathe in dust, our body coughs to remove it from our lungs(肺)or windpipe. We blink in order to keep our eyes clean and moist(湿润)and to prevent dust and other things from staying on them. A yawn is our bodys way of making us put more oxygen into our bloodstream.These involuntary movements happen because our brain is giving out signals.There is a system of nerves(神经)called the central nervous system, that covers our entire body: from the brain, down the spinal cord(脊位)inside our spinal column (the bones that do down our back, to the tips of our fingers and toes. When our body parts sense certain things, like a mosquito蚊子)bite, a message is sent to our brain. Then the brain sends a message back to itch(发痒).Without these reflex actions, we would not live very long.（1）What is the passage mainly about? A . We would not live long without movements.B . Why our body does involuntary movements.C . We sneeze to get out an irritant such as pollen.D . How our brain is giving out signals to our nerves.（2）If dust comes into our eyes, we will to protect our body.

How can we avoid stimulus to protect our own body?4. （8分）阅读理解 If there is no rain, there will be no water to drink. We can only live for about three days without water.
