20、belongs to and is used by a global citizenship.”The British Museum has many exhibitions about human history and culture. It has about 13 million exhibits from all over the world.

The night before,

34、 Uncle Thomas told them about the Foggy Figure (雾怪) that lived in the lake.

35、asleep. Mary and Justin came to the boat dock (码头). They saw thick fog over the lake. “Do you see anything?” asked Mary.“Nothing.

41、 no answer.“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently“You want to tell me, and I have no objection (反对) to hearing it.”This was invitation enough.“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune (财富) from the north of E

42、ngland; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”“What is his name?”“Bingley.”“Is he married or single?”“Oh! Single, my dear

It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which per

44、haps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr Bingley might like you the best of all.”“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”“It is more than I can be sure, I assure (向保证) you.”“But consider your daughters. Sir William a

45、nd Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers.

Women are luckier. Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. So some people say

50、 it is safer to be driven by women.There are different forms of colour blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades（色调）of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky m

51、an may see everything in shades of greena strange world indeed.Colour blindness in humans is a strange thing to explain. In our eyes there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell differences between colours. There are also millions of “rod

52、s”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colour.Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes（蚊子）like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way humans also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisibl
