Its such a popular color today. Why
26、would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.The color purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purples high status come
27、s from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into pr
28、oducing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color, it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldnt allow his wife to buy
29、 a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldnt spend that much having purple on their flags.The dye became more accessible to lower-class
30、about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got
31、rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So dont be making any bets just yet.28Why was color purple expensive in the past?ABecause only royal families w
32、ere allowed to wear purple.BBecause it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.CBecause purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.DBecause purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.29Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?ABecause of poor quality.BBecause
33、of long tradition.CBecause of bad taste. DBecause of high price.30What is purples situation now?APurple has been widely used on national flags.BPurple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.CRoyal family stop using purple because its too common.DFewer snails are used to produce purple dye than bef

DThe Birth of Purple ColorD One of the most popular street food found in China is no doubt the barbecue. A new program, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this p

37、d we share the same topic night food,” Chinese Barbecues director Chen Yingjie said. “However, they are quite different.” He said that Midnight Diner focused more on food itself, though there was some conversation while people were eating.
