         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 (媒质),
    if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, then the scattering will
    be long.

    the red light travels far. In fact, it travels farther on rainy days.
         Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas sec the lights. It helps drivers stow down or stop
    in lime. 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.

         Two Chinese farmers sang "in the spring" in their small room after drinking in a late August evening in
    Beijing. A friend put their song on the Internet. And soon they became stars around China.
         Wang Xu, 44, is from Henan, and Liu Gang, 29, is from Heilongjiang. They are among the millions of
    farmers who have gone to the cities to work.
         "Although nobody pays attention to the music, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild
    country, with no credit card, no girlfriend or a home with hot water, but only a guitar." They sing, "It is just
    like the life we live now." Wang said, "We are poor farmers, and you know people won't care about us."
         Their song is loved by millions of Chinese, including the people who are also from the countryside. Many
    people said they cried after listening to the song.
         Wang came to Beijing in 2000 and has tried many jobs. Each month after he paid 600 yuan for the house
    and bought food, there was little money left. "I love music, and also want to make more money." Wang said.
    "I never dreamed of standing on such a big stage."
         Liu came to Beijing in 2002. "I wanted to try my luck in the big city." He said. And now their dreams of
    music have come true. They are really the luckiest of all the farmers in China.

         A big earthquake happened in Japan in March, and it caused tsunami (海啸). Thousands of people died
    and millions of Japanese lost their homes.
         Do you know there is an earthquake every thirty seconds in the world? But don I worry because most
    of them are so small that they cannot be felt. Only a few hurt people. Many earthquakes happen in China, too.
    Are you ready for the next earthquake? We have some advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake.
         When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important because where there is
    a life, there is hope. Don't go back to get your money or other things.
         If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anything may fall on you.
         If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in
    a shop and far from the door, don't run outside. Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other.
    Hide under a desk. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake.
         If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car.
    Do not try to drive across bridges. It's dangerous.
        When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks (余震) may still happen. They are just as
    dangerous as the earthquakes, so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe for getting out.
         Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
         Remember, these tips are very important. We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
