One day before the Spring Festival,I noticed the brakes（刹车）of my car getting weaker and weaker.They still worked but it took a longer time for my car to stop. I knew that I needed new brakes, but I had so many other things to do at that time.
Then on a Friday night I had a dream. I was driving my car on a bright, sunny day when suddenly a truck appeared on the road in front of me.I hit my brakes but they didn't work and I hit that truck. The terrible dream woke me up and I decided to get my brakes changed the next day. When the worker took out the old ones, I noticed that they had worn（磨损）thin.
One day, I was driving home with my daughter beside me and my two sons in the back seat.Suddenly, a truck came from the other direction（方向）. It ran too fast and moved two feet over the center line. I hit my brakes and led my car toward the side of the road. We were surprised that the huge truck missed us by only a foot.
Later when I lay in my bed, I realized that if I hadn't got my brakes changed, I couldn't have been able to slow down fast enough. My children and I might either be hurt or killed. I closed my eyes and gave thanks to that dream.

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals. We have been taught from a young age that the colour red means danger and green means it's 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 couldn't they have been prettier colours

Well, it's important 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 it's been that way ever since.
Red has always been a colour that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the colour with the longest wavelength so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colours.
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 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 painted yellow.
So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them; they've 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.Which of the following colours meant go at first
A.Red. B.Yellow. C.White. D.Green.
3.Why does red mean danger
A.Because it's the brightest colour. B.Because it can be seen far away.
C.Because railway computer say so. D.Because it has the shortest wavelength.
4.Why are school buses painted yellow
A.Because yellow is a prettier colour. B.Because yellow once meant danger.
C.Because yellow can be seen well. D.Because yellow means it's OK to go forward.
5.What does the text mainly tell us
A.How important traffic lights are.
B.Which colour has the longest wavelength.
C.What red, yellow and green can be used for.
D.Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.
C
Every year several thousand people die in the car accidents in Great Britain. And between one and two hundred thousand people are hurt.
There are rules to make the roads safe, but people do not always obey(遵守) the rules. They are careless. If everybody obeys the rules, the roads will be safer.
Remember this rule. In Great Britain traffic keeps to the left. Cars, buses and bikes must all keep to the left side of the road. In most other countries traffic keeps to the right.
Before crossing the road, stop and look both ways. Look right and left. Then, if you are sure that the road is clear, it is safe to cross the road. If you see small children or very old people, help them to cross the road. We must teach our children to cross the road safely. We must always give them a good example. Small children must not play on the street.
1.If we want to make the roads safer, _____.
A.everybody must be careful and obey the traffic rules
B.traffic should keep to the right
C.we shouldn't cross the road too often
D.roads must be clear
2.If you drive a car in Great Britain, you must drive _____.
A.on the right side of the road B.on the left side of the road
C.in the middle of the road D.behind the buses
3.Which of the following is NOT right
A.Few people die in the traffic accidents in Great Britain.
B.In our country traffic keeps to the right.
C.Before crossing the road, we should stop and look at both ways.
D.Streets are not safe places for playing.
4."The road is clear" means that _____.
A.there is no car or bus running B.the road is very clean
C.the road is not noisy D.you can see very clearly on the road
5.The safe way to cross the road is to _____.
A.look right B.look left

Dear David,
Glad to receive your e-mail. Now let me tell you something about our school's safety rules for summer holiday.
First, we are asked to be careful with electricity wherever we are. Second, it is dangerous to play with fire, for it may cause terrible accidents. Also,we should make sure doors and windows are shut before we leave. What's more, we are not allowed to swim alone, and we mustn't swim in rivers or lakes. Most importantly, everyone is supposed to follow traffic rules and pay attention when crossing the road.
I think these rules are necessary as safety comes first. Have a good summer holiday!
Yours.
Wang Wei
