About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of colorblindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about five in every hundred are affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.

There are different shapes of color blindness. For example, a man may be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person can not tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.

Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to say clearly. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones^①”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods^②”，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colours. Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes^③ like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible^④ colours around us.

生词注释：①cone n.锥形物　②rods n.棒　③mosquitoe n.蚊子

核工记（宋起凤）
　　季弟获桃坠一枚，长五分许，横广四分。
　　全核向背皆山。山坳插一城，雉历历可数。城巅具层楼，楼门洞敞。中有人，类司更卒，执桴鼓，若寒冻不胜者。
　　枕山麓一寺，老松隐蔽三章。松下凿双户，可开阖。户内一僧，侧首倾听；户虚掩，如应门；洞开，如延纳状——左右度之无不宜。松外东来一衲，负卷帙踉跄行，若为佛事夜归者。对林一小陀，似闻足音仆仆前。
　　核侧出浮屠七级，距滩半黍。近滩维一小舟。篷窗短舷间，有客凭几假寐，形若渐寤然。舟尾一小童，拥炉嘘火盖供客茗饮。舣舟处当寺阴，高阜钟阁踞焉。叩钟者貌爽爽自得，睡足馀兴乃尔。
　　山顶月晦半规，杂疏星数点。下则波纹涨起，作潮来候。
　　取诗“                  ，                 ”之句。
　　计人凡七：僧四，客一，童一，卒一。宫室器具凡九：城一，楼一，招提一，浮屠一，舟一，阁一，炉灶一，钟鼓各一。景凡七：山、水、林木、滩石四，星、月、灯火三。而人事如传更，报晓，候门，夜归，隐几，煎茶，统为六，各殊致殊意，且并其愁苦、寒惧、凝思诸态，俱一一肖之。
语云：“纳须弥于芥子。”殆谓是欤！
