四、阅读理解
Colours mean differently in different cultures. If you do not know what to wear for a Chinese celebration, wearing something red is always a good idea. Red is a color of happiness, success, good luck and joy in China. It's believed that red can drive away bad luck since it is the colour of the sun in the morning. Chinese people's love for red began with the ancient worship (崇拜) of fire, which always gives people the feeling of warmth and safety. So red always appears at happy moments. For example, People love decorating their houses with red lanterns, red paper-cuttings and red couplets during the Spring Festival. On the wedding day, the bride often wears red and is covered with a red veil on her head. The red Chinese character (double happiness) can be seen here and there.
But in the Western culture red is the colour of blood and fire. In Western people's eyes, blood is "the liquid of life". When blood bleeds, the flower of life will fade and people will die. So red is usually connected to danger, anger and emergency in Western countries. For example, some governments enclose (把……围住) the poor area with a red line and refuse to provide money for this area, which makes the area poorer. This is called "red lining". There are many other similar phrases like "red rules", "a red battle" and "a red adventure story", etc.
