Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play; covering a child's eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, others hide and one child must try to find them.

Flying kites

Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood instead of paper. The three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. Each has its own feature. For example, the bird-shaped kite with long wings is a special kind of the Beijing kite.

When the traffic lights turn red, we will stop driving a car or crossing a street. Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors?

As we know, scattering(散射)happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, the scattering will be long.

Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red travels far. In fact, it travels faster 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 lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents.

26. When the traffic lights turn _______, we will stop driving a car.

A．red

B．green

C．yellow

D．dark

27. According to the passage, the scattering of the red light is the _______.
