If we are driving a car，we will stop when the traffic lights turn red．【1】

As we know，scattering(散射) happens when light goes through the air．For the same media(媒质)，if the wavelength(波长) is long，the scattering will be weak．【2】  

Of all light we can see red has the longest wavelength，so the scattering is the weakest．That means the red light travels far. 【3】  

Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the traffic lights．【4】  

If drivers don’t see the traffic lights until they are close，they may not be able to stop the car in time and an accident may happen．Red can also excite people．【5】  In a word，red lights can help drivers stop in time and help prevent (防止) accidents．

28、   About every four years, new astronauts are accepted, it is that time again! As someone with such experience, I want to share some ideas with those who are trying to apply (申请) for this job.

【1】 you don’t want to lose the chance to be an astronaut, you must have already been at the top of your field. But once you are chosen, you will work in a very different environment. You will do things that you have never done 【2】. So, it is really important to be good at dealing with new situations.

Make sure your family and friends strongly support (支持) your dream, because you will be away from home for a long time. But don’t 【3】 and we will be here for you. In the astronaut office, we don’t just work together—we live together. So, it is important that we can trust each other and face the difficulties together.

It is really not 【4】 to be a real astronaut at last. In 2016, more than 18,300 people applied, but only 11 new astronauts graduated (毕业). Maybe 【5】 is perfect for everything but he still can’t succeed at last. However, if you do not apply, you will never be chosen. If you are not successful this time, don’t give up and 【6】 again. It takes most of us a few times to make it.

I’d share with you one last 【7】: Do things because you love them. Fly because you love to fly. When you do what you love, you will not only do it 【8】 but also feel happier.
