16、ith from America,who is having a meeting in New York.BThe idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号).We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward.Butwhy were those co
17、lors chosen for traffic lights in the first place?For something we have to look at every day,why couldntthey have been prettier colors?Well,its important to know that before traffic lights for cars,there were traffic signals for trains.At first,railwaycompanies used red to mean stop,white to mean go
18、,and green to mean warn.As you could imagine,trains ran into a fewproblems with white meaning go.For example,one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpectedhappened.Because of that,railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn.And itsbeen th
19、at way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger,long before cars were even around.This most likely started because3its the color with the longest wavelength(波长)so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But,believe it or not,yellow was once used to mean stop.Back in the 190
20、0s,some stop signs were yellow because itwas too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area.Finally,highly reflective materials(高反射材料)were developed and redstop signs were born.Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day,school zones,some traffic signs,and schoolbuses continue to be print

24、.Saying sorry means to apologize.This is simple and easy to understand.We learn it both as a native(本国的)speaker and as a student of foreign languages.But in Britain,it takes on another meaning.It is a cultural expression.Imagine this:a man walks down the street,looking down at his phone.A woman is w
25、alking in the opposite direction,towards the man.She sees him,but she cant getout of the way in time.The man bumps(撞)into the woman.Who should say sorry?Naturally,the man should say sorry,because it was he who wasnt looking where he was going.Yet in Britain,it is common for both to apologize.It is k
26、nown that British people,like most people,do not enjoy conflicts or fights.So to quickly calm(平静)thesituation,British people will apologize to each other.Other times it may sound funny to hear sorry.Some of my friends say it at restaurants,as they ask the waiter,Sorry,but can I order another drink?I
