About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected(感染) in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades(阴影) of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a difficult thing to explain. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(圆锥体)”. These help us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods(柱状体)”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night.
50. “Color blindness” means “_________” in Chinese.
A. 盲目 B. 无色 C. 色盲 D.讨厌颜色
51. Some people say it’s safer to be driven by women because _______.
A. women drive more carefully B. women are better at driving than men

52. With the help of the “cones”, we can __________.
A. tell different shapes B. kill insects
C. see in the dark D. tell orange from yellow

Lijiang, Yunnan, Dec. 17(Xinhuanet)—A film directed by the famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou, made its domestic debut(国内首映式) in Lijiang, where the film was shot, in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, on Friday night.
The film, titled Riding Along for Thousands of Miles, was played by the Japanese actor TakakuraKen. It tells a story that Takada, a Japanese fisherman, fulfills(完成)the last wish of his dying son by traveling thousands of miles to China’s Yunnan Province to search for the secret behind a local opera play, called Riding Along for Thousands of Miles.
Zhang Yimou, who has been Takakura’s admirer for almost 30 years, made the film just for
fulfilling his own wish of working with Takakura Ken.
The film made its global(全球的)bedut at the opening session of the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival on Oct. 22.
Takakura, one of the best-known actors in Japan, has played roles in 204 films—including
Zhang’s—and won world recognition(认可) after starting in the 1975 Sydney Pollack hit The Yakuza(71) and in Ridley Scott’s 1989 work Black Rain.
Invested by the Beijing New Picture Edko Films, Riding Along for Thousands of Miles was
made at a cost of 60 million yuan(about 7.3 million US dollars), much less than Zhang’s two previous films, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, both had been nominates(提名)for best foreign film Oscars.
The film will be formally released in China on Dec. 22.
