What is color? Why do some objects look red, others green, others blue?
Color is caused by reflected light rays. We see color because objects reflect light. Some thing that is red reflects mostly red light. In the same way, a green object reflects mostly green light. White objects reflect all colors of light. Black objects do not reflect any light.
What happens to the colors of light that are not reflected? They are absorbed by the object. The darker the color, the less light is reflected and the more light is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is turned into heat. For this reason, dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sunlight than light-colored clothes.
Which is the main idea of this passage?
A.Dark-colored clothes are warmer in the sunlight.
B.Objects absorb part of the sunlight.
C.Color is caused by reflected light rays.

根据以下内容回答题:
A tid.al wave is a very large and very destructive wall of water that rushes in from the ocean toward the shore.Many scientists call these huge waves tsunami(海啸).In Japanese tsunami means“storm wave”0r“tide”.But do you know that tidal waves are not caused bv storms and that they are not true tides at all?A true tide is the regular rise and fall of ocean waters,at def-inite times each day.But a tidal wave comes rushing in suddenly and unexpectedly.A tidal wave is caused by an underwater earthquake.Scientists call the underwater earthquake a seaquake.The word“seaquake”is made up of two words.the word’“sea”which means“ocean”and the word“quake”.To quake means“to shake”or“to tremble”.When a seaquake takes place at the bottom of the ocean,the ocean floor shakes and trembles,and sometimes the ocean floor shifts.It is this shifting that produces the tidal wave.The tidal wave begins to move across the sea at great speed. Tidal waves have taken many human lives in the past.Today scientists can predict when a tidal wave will hit land.They use a seismograph to do this.A seismograph is an instrument that records the strength,the direction,and the length of time of an earthquake or seaquake.It is not possible to hold back a tidal wave,but it is possible to warn people that a tidal wave is coming.This warning can save many lives.
