One day I happened to meet an Englishman in the street and soon we began to talk. As I  was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, and I thought , “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? Have you ever been there?”

“Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!” “Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”

I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it? ”

“Well, I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised.

“Did you say ‘You don’t say!’?” I asked again.

Hearing this, the foreigner laughed loudly. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ means ‘Really’. Perhaps you know little about English idioms(惯用语).”

Wow! How foolish I was! Since then I have been careful with English idioms.

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 (波长) 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.

1.______ has the longest wavelength of all light we can see.

A. Red               B. Green           C. Yellow          D. Black

2.Red light travels farther on ______ days.

A. windy             B. sunny           C. rainy         D. cloudy

3.Red can make people act more quickly because ____________.

A. red can make people happier              B. the scattering of red is very short

C. the scattering of red is very long           D. red can make people more excited

4.The underlined word “prevent” means ______ in Chinese.

A.逃避               B. 防止            C. 处理         D. 检查

5.The passage mainly tells us ____________.

A. why accidents happen                     B. how the red light travels

C. why we use red traffic lights               D. how to stop in time at traffic lights

Lifelong Learning (终身学习)

In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study. But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common.

Lucy, who is forty, teaches physics at a college in Boston. “Next term, I’ll teach some of my classes by using the Internet. This is the way of teaching that I’ve never used before,” says Lucy. “These days, I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way. If not, I will lose my job.” At the same time, Lucy’s seventy-year-old parents, who live in New York, are taking an art history class online. “We love this subject,” says her father, “and we learn it to enjoy ourselves. You see we can study with people all over the world. What fun it is to learn like this!”
