Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signal(信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic. Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.
The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put along side railway tracks(轨道). The color red was used to mean “stop” because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red “stop” light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean “take care” and a white light meant “go”.
However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant “go”. So the signals were swapped. The “go” light was changed to green and the “take care” light was changed to white.
During these times, people traveled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.
Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
Why was the color red used to mean “stop”
A. Because it reminded people of traffic rules.
B. Because it helped trains run smoothly.
C. Because it gave people a warning of danger.
D. Because it was the first color people thought of.
What does the underlined word “swapped” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Designed. B. Exchanged. C. Suggested. D. Compared.
In which order did the “take care” light develop
a. A white light b. A green light c. A yellow light
A. a-c-b B. b-c-a C. a-b-c D. b-a-c
What is the passage mainly about
A. The advantages of traffic lights. B. The history of traffic lights.
C. The importance of traffic lights. D. The meanings of traffic lights.

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another—one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain (食物链).
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are “factories”. They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.
Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings We are members of many food chains. We eat rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them can not be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.
Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking the links puts all life in danger.
1. How does every living thing on the earth live It lives on ___________ living things.
2. Which living things can use the sun’s ___________ directly Only plants can.
3. What do plants make food from From ________, water and things in the soil and air.
4. Who often breaks up the food chains ___________.
5. What’s the result of ___________ the links Putting all life in danger.
