破解简答题 I. Exercise one (本部分课前预读并完成，其他部分可以先预习)(M9U3Reading) Today, every independent country has a flag that gives it a unique identity. There flags are more than just pieces of cloth sewn together at random with thread. A flag tells us something about the country it represents, such as its values, beliefs and culture. The Indonesian flag became official on 17 August 1945, immediately after the end of World War Ⅱ. The flag, which is made up of a red band over a white one, is based on a national flag dating back to the 13th century, which had nine red and white stripes. There are many explanations offered for the meanings of the colours on the Indonesian flag. The most common one is that red stands for blood, or things that are physical, while white represents the spiritual. Another suggestion is that the colours have a link with food. For the Indonesians, red resembles the colour of sugar (because of the plant that it comes from) and white looks like rice. Both sugar and rice are consumed daily in Indonesian food. Other people say that the colour red on the Indonesian flag stands for the brave nature of the Indonesian people. It can also represent the fire that comes from Indonesia’s volcanoes. Like in many other countries, the colour white is regarded as a symbol of purity in Indonesia .Each of the colors on a country’s flag was carefully chosen to represent something about the country or the people living there.
