题文

If we are driving a car or crossing a street, we will stop when the traffic lights turn red. Why do we u 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 (波长) is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will be long.Of all light we can e 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 e the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. If drivers don’t e the red light until they are clo, 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 e the color red. In a word, red light helps drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.小题1:______ has the longest wavelength of all light we can e.A．RedB．GreenC．YellowD．Black小题2:Red light travels farther on ______ days.A．windyB．sunnyC．rainyD．cloudy小题3:Red can make people act more quickly becau ____________.A．red can make people happierB．the scattering of red is very shortC．the scattering of red is very longD．red can make people more excited小题4:The underlined word “prevent” means ______ in Chine.A．逃避B．防止C．处理D．检查小题5:The passage mainly tells us ____________.A．why accidents happenB．how the red light travelsC．why we u red traffic lightsD．how to stop in time at traffic lights
