24、What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away．But what if that insect is a ladybug（瓢虫）? It is possible that you would let it stay．What is it about ladybugs that we like?

Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign．A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good．The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug，but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops．They eat harmful insects．

Actually，it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects． It's the baby ladybug．When the baby ladybugs hatch（孵化），they are very hungry and will eat mites，aphids，mealy bugs，green flies，and other crop-destroyers． In the 1800s，ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects．They completely saved all the trees．

Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything．Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid（液体）．Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead．They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away．

So the next time you see a ladybug，think about what it may be doing．Maybe it is off to save an orange tree．Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size．Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow．Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way．

【1】Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to____．

A．add more ladybugs to area

B．report the weather for farmers

C．act as a lucky sign of good crops

D．save orange trees by eating insects

A．it's the adult ladybug that eats most o{ the harmful insects

B．ladybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birds

C．ladybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselves

D．the baby ladybug mainly eats mites，aphids，mealy bugs，and oranges

【3】The underlined phrase "stand up to" most probably means ____．

A．watch B．support

C．save D．fight

26、①You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

②How many times have we said to ourselves, “Oh, I’ll do that tomorrow.” Sometimes tomorrow never comes and we find ourselves saying, “Oh, I wish I hadn’t put that off.”

③Our family was friends with Betty for many years. Over the years, we shared phone calls, birthday cards, and much more. Every year, Betty sent our youngest son Brandon a birthday card with five dollars in it. She did this until he graduated from high school.

④One year, not long after her birthday, I called to see how she was and ask her if she did anything special for her birthday. I was surprised when Betty didn’t answer the phone. Instead, her daughter Carol did. Carol told me that her mom was ill and had gone downhill fast. She was in hospice care（临终关怀）. Carol gave the phone to Betty. I talked to her and let her know that we loved her.

⑤As soon as I got off the phone, I sent a text to Brandon and let him know Betty wasn’t doing well. Brandon stopped what he was doing and sent flowers to Betty.

⑥You can imagine how proud I was of Brandon when Carol called the next day. She told me that Betty loved the flowers very much. Just a few days later, Betty died.

⑦So, my friends, remember what Emerson once said, “You can never do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”

27、

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals. We have been taught from a young age that the colour red means danger and green means it is okay to move forward. But why were those colours chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldn’t they have been prettier colours?

Well, it’s important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it’s been that way ever since.

Red has always been a colour that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it’s the colour with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colours.

But, 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. Finally, highly reflective materials(高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.

So next time you’re impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don’t get so mad at them; they’ve certainly come a long way.

【1】Which of the following colours meant go at first?

A．Red.

B．Yellow.

C．White.

D．Green.

【2】Why does red mean danger?

A．Because it’s the brightest colour.

B．Because it can be seen far away.

C．Because railway companies say so.

D．Because it has the shortest wavelength.

【3】What does the text mainly tell use?

A．How important traffic lights are.

B．Which colour has the longest wavelength.

C．What red, yellow and green can be used for.

D．Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.
