PAGE PAGE 1 模块6 Unit 2 What is happiness to you 一、阅读理解。 We talk about people being “colour-blind” but very few of us are.Even those who describe themselves as colour-blind are normally just colour deficient.A strongly colour-blind person will still be able to tell 20 different colours，compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.
