[单项选择]David Blume, a 48 year-old seafood retailer from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., feels guilty about the gas he burns during his 60-mile roundtrip commute—up to a point. "I’m all for saving the environment, but my first priority is putting my kid through college," says the father of a high-school senior. "I won’t even consider a hybrid unless gas prices change dramatically again."

A man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades 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.
