Australian colour consultant（顧問）Kylie Bartnicki is talking with a group of women in Pudong, Shanghai, who are interested in how colours affect people's confidence and help form（形成）people's first impressions（印象）．

    Kylie traces（追溯）back her interest in colours to when she went for her first job interview at age 18. "My mother bought me a new red top to wear to my interview and she said, "Wear this, and it will be lucky."' Kylie recalls. "I wore it, had a great interview and got the job. Ever since then I started thinking about how powerful the colour is, how it makes us look and how it makes us feel."

    "When we wear clothes in a good colour, the colour will make our skin, hair and eyes shine and we look happy and smart," Kylie says.

    Winter and summer are "cool colourings" and autumn and spring are "warm colourings". Someone who loves "cool colouring" might have red or golden hair, brown eyes and gold or yellow skin.

    Chinese women belong to the "autumn season" if they have darker, peachy skin. Chinese women belong to the "winter season" if they have pale skin. Kylie says that Chinese women who have dark eyes and dark hair will look best in deep, rich colours. Light pinks and blues should be  avoided because they may wash our Chinese skin tones（膚色）．

    Their talk usually lasts one and a half to two hours and costs 600 yuan (89 dollars). Kylie says her customers(客戶) are as young as five years old and as old as 90. The customers between their 30s and 50s always want some fresh ideas on developing their own personal style.

A. purple                 B. red             C. deep green    D. light blue

2.A mother and her daughter need to pay___ to get the advice from Kylie for their 2-hour talk.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way．Women are luckier．Only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter．So some people say it is safer to be driven by women．

There are different forms of color blindness．]n some cases a man may not be able to see deep red．He may think that red，orange and yellow arc all shades（色調(diào)）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．

Color blindness in humans is a strange thing to explain．In our eyes there are millions of very small things called “cones”．These help us to see in a bright light and to tell differences between colors．There are also millions of “rods”，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark．They show us shapes but no color．

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 lamp will．In a similar way humans also have favorite colors．Yet we are lucky．With the aid of the cones in our eyes We can see many beautiful colors 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（看不見的）colors around us．

1．With the help of the cones，we can _________．

A．see in a weak light                                   B．tell different shapes

C．kill mosquitoes                                           D．tell orange from yellow

2．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?

A．Women are more careful．

B．There are fewer color blind women．

C．All of them see everything in shades of green．

D．None of them has trouble in recognizing（識別）colors．

3．This passage is mainly about _________．

A．color and its surprising effects                         B．danger caused by color blindness

C．color blindness                                          D．the invisible colors around us
