7 . The idea that red means stop and green means go affects more than just traffic light colors in our lives. We have been taught from a young age that red means danger, while green means safety.

But why were those particular colors chosen for traffic lights? Before there were traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railroad companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go and green to mean caution. But train conductors ran into a problem with the color white meaning go — bright white could easily be mistaken for stars at night. Railway companies eventually moved to the color green for go. It’s been that way ever since.

Red is the color with the longest wavelength (波长). That means that as it travels through the air, it gets diffused (分散) less than other colors, so it can be seen from a greater distance. For a real-world example, think about how the light turns red as the sun sets. Even though the human eye is most sensitive to a yellowish-green highlighter color, it can see red from further away. But this could happen by chance. It’s not clear whether that was chosen based on wavelength, contrast against green nature or natural connection of red with things like blood. It could be a mix of all three!

Yellow has a shorter wavelength than red but a longer wavelength than green. This means that red is noticeable the furthest away, yellow in the middle and green the least distance away — a helpful advanced warning for needing to slow or stop.

However, 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. Eventually, highly reflective (反光的) materials were developed, and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school areas, some traffic signs and school buses continue to be painted the color. Keep these safe driving tips in the back of your mind whenever you see a yellow light.

1. What was the problem with white meaning go?

A．It could not be seen at night.	B．It was a color showing danger.
C．It was not popular at that time.	D．It could mislead train conductors.

2. Why does the light turn red as the sun sets?

A．Human eyes are most sensitive to red.

B．Red travels through the air fastest.

C．The sun changes its color as it sets.

D．Red has the longest wavelength.

3. What can we learn about yellow from the text?

A．It was used in limited areas.

B．It had been used as a stop sign.

C．It is hard to see without enough light.

D．It requires highly reflective materials.

4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To explain the choice of traffic light colors.

B．To spread the knowledge of colors.

C．To introduce the invention of traffic lights.

D．To increase people’s traffic awareness.
