surfing the internet experience eye problems.lack of physical activity leads to obesity problems.the media influences public opinion and impacts the choices that people make.the media has led to a general opinion that thin is in and fat is out.this makes the overweight feel out of place.they are ready to starve themselves to lose weight, which has led to increasing cases of eating disorders.the media has, in its own way, changed peoples outlook on life.it is the interface(界面) through which millions look at the world outside.the media claims to describe the“today”，but not all types of media show the truth.with the intention of stressing their point or grabbing greater attention from the masses, the media exaggerates(夸大) things to a certain degree.not everyone is able to filter_out that element.most believe everything to be real, especially kids and teenagers.media sources are so many in number and all of them so convincingly make their point that it is hard to distinguish between right and wrong.thus while a certain amount of exposure to the media is essential for introducing ourselves to the world outside, excessive exposure, uncontrolled access and belief without thought

the answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars.they were red and green, gaspowered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.red is an inherited(继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures.as red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光谱), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.greens wavelength is next to(and shorter than) yellows on the visible spectrum, meaning its still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”， while the “allclear” light was, well, clear or white.it is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an allclear.thus, green became “go”， and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.from the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s，not all stop signs were redmany were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.in 1915 the yellow stopsign craze began in detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.but what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? as materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the stillhighlyvisible yellow to the domain(领域) of “caution”thats why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.12what were traffic lights originally intended for?atrains. bcars.cplanes. dships.13whats the main reason for reds long being used to mean “stop”？ait can be seen even in dark areas.bit represents danger in many cultures.cit has the longest wavelength.dpeople prefer red to other colors.14which of the following may the author agree with?athe meaning of red is culturespecific.byellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s.cgreens wavelength is just second to that of red.dgreens role in lights has changed over time.15what does the passage mainly talk about?athe significance of road traffic signs.bthe history of railroad transportation.cthe symbolic meaning of different colors.dthe origin and development of traffic lights.第二节
