It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don’t even realize that they are color-blind. They don’t know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.
Color blindness is thought to be inherited（遗传）. And although doctors have thought up tests to determine（测定） color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it.
36. A color-blind person can tell red and green apart correctly.
37. Many color-blind people are unware（没意识到）that they are color-blind.
38. It’s especially dangerous for a color-blind person to cross a street when there are no traffic lights at the cross of the streets.
39. A color-blind person is not allowed to drive.
40. Up to now, doctors have found a way to free a person from his color blindness.
