farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ the customer is always right.”67. frank took a short business course

affected in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.72. the passage is mainly about _. a. color and its surprising effects. b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color blindness73. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. a. tell different shapes b. see in a weak light c. kill mosquitoes d. tell orange from yellow74. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? a. women are more careful. b. there are fewer color-blind women
