Dear Kitty,

　　News! We have a new flat! The rooms are small, but they are comfortable．There are more rooms here than in our old flat．This is good because now I have my own room．In the old flat, I shared with my sister．

　　My bedroom is my favourite room in our flat．I can be alone in it．I can read or draw．I can listen to my radio or play CDs．I can play games on my computer and send e-mails to my friends．

　　My second favorite room is the kitchen．I love helping my mother cook our meals．She is a very good cook．She is teaching me how to make many different kinds of dishes．She lived in Morocco when she was a girl, and she can cook Moroccan food．It's very delicious．That's all for now．Write soon and tell me about your home．Please get on the Internet so that we can send e-mails to each other．

All good wishes!

Anna

　　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．
