A

About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour 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 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 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.

Colour 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 colours. There are also millions of "rods"? but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no colour.

Some insects have favourite colours. 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 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 invisible colours around us.

My wife's friend Rachel wouldn't stop complaining (抱怨).For twenty minutes she had a series of complaints. She complained about her job. She com?plained about her company's new policies. She complained about the economy. Most of all, she complained about her lack of sales at work.

I don't remember saying this, but Rachel likes to remind me that I finally stopped her from complaining by saying, "Rachel, will you please shut up?" Then I said, "It is really simple. You have a choice. You can accept your present job with a positive attitude and decide to do your best every day or you can find a new job in a new company.
