( b )about ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is 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.46. 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 blindness47. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can _. a. tell different shapesb. see in a weak light c. kill mosquitoesd. tell orange from yellow48. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

“to see what happens,” said liz. “we simply enjoy life with open talk.” shortly after the september 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from new york city to washington, a 270-mile trip. they found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “it started as a crazy idea.” liz said. “we were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. people will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.” denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. she had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went. marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “that was very heavy on my mind.” marcia said. “to be able to talk about it to total strangers was very good,” she explained. to celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met over the past year. a few hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen and reporters. they may plan more parties or try to attract more people to join their informal talks. some publishers have expressed interest in a book, something the two say theyll consider before making a decision.51. what did liz and bill determined to do after the attack on september 11, 2001?
