6 . Most humans are able to recognize about 1 million different colors, but some people can’t recognize this many because of something called colorblindness. In rare cases, some people can’t see any colors at all.
There are three cone-shaped (锥形的) cells at the back of our eyes that allow us to see colors. These cells absorb light waves and send a message to the brain, where the image is processed.
If something is wrong with these cone-shaped cells, this can result in colorblindness.
One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-green colorblindness. People who have this specific type of visual impairment (视觉障碍) have difficulty telling the colors red and green apart. “Problems with distinguishing red from green interrupt simple daily routines such as deciding whether a banana is ripe,” Karepov explained. That is why people with colorblindness sometimes find it difficult to finish their daily tasks.
Thankfully, special color-correcting glasses have already been made to help fix some types of colorblindness. Now, according to research published in Optics Letters, scientists have provided another choice.
Sharon Karepov and Tal Ellenbogen, engineers from Tel Aviv University in Israel, have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜), which create a customized, compact and durable way to address these deficiencies (缺陷) of the special color-correcting glasses which are significantly bulkier (笨重的). The creation of the much smaller contact lenses is really good news for the millions of people worldwide who suffer from colorblindness.
This new research is groundbreaking (开创性的). In addition to offering those who are colorblind another option, it may lead to solutions for other visual impairments.

Apologizing can be very difficult. It needs you to put aside your pride and admit to your faults. And when you do issue an apology, it's easy to make mistakes.
Making excuses
Apologizing is about admitting to your mistakes, not making excuses for them. Take a careful look at the part you played in the mistake, and sincerely admit that you are wrong.
Doing it via messages
It's important to apologize face to face if possible. Never use message to make an apology. A post on social media is not the same as a heartfelt visit. Allow the other person to hear your voice and see your facial expressions. A message is the worst option when it comes to expressing sincere regrets.
Saying “I'm sorry, bu.."
Adding a “but” to your apology is one of the worst ways to say you're sorry. When you use the word "but", it negates or cancels everything that goes before it...
Apologizing too late (or too early)
Waiting too long to apologize can make a bad situation worse.
Do it sooner rather than later. If you do or say something harmful, offer an apology straightaway. However, apologizing too quickly can also be a problem. Sometimes people need a minute to cool off, and if someone's trying to chase them to give them an apology, they will probably not accept it.
Expecting immediate forgiveness
Once you have offered your apologies, don't expect a quick repair. It may take more time than you would like, but by doing the right thing, you have a new start in your relationships. In the end, your relationships can come back stronger than they were before.

8 . Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. My siblings left Hyderabad after relatives adopted them, but I insisted on staying back to continue my education. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free. To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.
I would be up every morning by 5 a.m. and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 a.m., I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My beat spanned 3 kilometers. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another 3 kilometers —quickly cat and be off to high school.
One wintry morning in 1945,I got home after my deliveries to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.
I was greeted at the door by Afzal's mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal's father, Mr Kader, joined us. She gently asked me about my daily routine. I told her about my morning job.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Later, Mr Kader emerged again, wheeling a new bicycle. "This is for you!" he said.
It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. It felt warm, like home. I didn't realize tears were rolling down my face.
Mr Kader said. Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address. so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us more about you."
I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk—I had the bicycle.
The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.
