About ten menin every hundred have the trouble of color blindness in some way. Women areluckier, only about one in two hundred is affected (被影响) in thismatter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.

There aredifferent kinds of color blindness. For example, a man cannot see deep red. Hemay think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes aperson can’t tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky menmay see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.

Colorblindness in human beings is a difficult thing to explain. In only one eyethere are millions of very small things called “cones (锥状细胞)”. Thesehelp us to see in the bright light and to tell differences between colors.There are also millions of “rods (杆状细胞)”, but these are usedfor seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not colors.

Some insectshave favorite colors. Mosquitoes (蚊子) like blue but do notlike yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Humanbeings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the conesin our eyes, we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of therods we can see shapes at night.

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

　　C. women can see things more clearly

　　D. there are fewer color-blind women

52. We can attract mosquitoes by using a ______ light.

　　A. red 　　　B. yellow　　　 C. blue　　　 D. green
