新趋势·培养科学精神 Sunlight is actually made up(组成) of many different colors. They are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
When the sun comes out after it rains, you may see a rainbow in the sky. Light moves faster through air than through water. When the light moves through water, it slows down and bends(弯折).
If sunlight passes through a water drop at just the right angle(角度), it bends and splits into many different colors. Then it reflects(反射) off the back of each drop. The sunlight bends again when it leaves the drop. This happens in a great many water drops at once, making the colors of a rainbow.
We usually see a rainbow as a half circle(圆圈). It is actually a full circle. From the ground, we can only see the top half, but if we are on the plane in the sky, we may be able to see a full-circle rainbow.

新趋势·拓展国际视野 How much do you know about ancient Roman gladiators(古罗马的角斗士) Many people have some wrong ideas about them. Read on to find out the facts then.
- All gladiators were men.
Most gladiators were men, but some were women. Many ancient Romans, however, thought women shouldn’t work like men. So a Roman emperor(皇帝) stopped women fighting around 200 CE. About two hundred years later, another emperor stopped all gladiator games.
- Gladiator games had no rules.
Just like modern sports, gladiator games had rules and referees(裁判员). If a fighter broke the rules, the referee would raise a stick(签). What should a fighter do if he or she wanted to give up and stop fighting Well, the fighter needed to hold up his or her arm and point his or her index finger(食指) at the referee.
- Gladiators fought to the death.
Some gladiators trained(接受训练) for years in special schools. The emperor and other rich Romans invested(投资) lots of money in these schools. The goal(目的) of gladiator games was to make money, not to kill the fighters. When a fighter won a match, part of his or her prize money would go to his or her school and its investors. Even a defeated(被打败的) fighter could live to fight and make money another day.
