If we are driving a car or crossing a street, we will stop when the traffic lights turn red. Why do we use red rather than other colors?
As we know, scattering (散射) happens when light goes through the air. For the same media, if the wavelength (波長) is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.
Of all light we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther 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 until 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 light helps drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.
【小題1】______ has the longest wavelength of all light we can see.
A．RedB．GreenC．YellowD．Black
【小題2】Red light travels farther on ______ days.
A．windyB．sunnyC．rainyD．cloudy
【小題3】Red can make people act more quickly because ____________.
A．red can make people happierB．the scattering of red is very short
C．the scattering of red is very longD．red can make people more excited
【小題4】The underlined word “prevent” means ______ in Chinese.
A．逃避B．防止C．處理D．檢查
【小題5】The passage mainly tells us ____________.
A．why accidents happenB．how the red light travels
C．why we use red traffic lightsD．how to stop in time at traffic lights

科目：初中英語 來源：2011年秋湖北省黃岡市浠水縣清泉鎮(zhèn)中九年級第一次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.
Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.
“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.
“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valua-ble lesson today. No matter  what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （價(jià)值）。 It was still worth ￥ l00！”
Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crum-pled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember， no matter what has happened to you， you will never lose your value： you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn‘t come from what you do or whom you know， but WHO YOU ARE.
You are special and valuable. Don‘t ever forget it！
【小題1】Even though it was dirty， the money _______.

A．still went up in valueB．was worth nothing
C．didn‘t go down in valueD．was still ours
【小題2】We are always valuable to the people _______.
A．who pay usB．who call us
C．who hate usD．who love us
【小題3】The sentence “Hands went back into the air” means “_______”。
A．the students put up their hands again
B．the students put down their hands
C．the students put their hands behind their backs again
D．the students put their hands in front of them
【小題4】 Why did the famous teacher use a ￥100 bill at his lesson？
A．Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.
B．Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.
C．Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.
D．Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.
