28、imes 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.

35、d just talk. Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “Talk to me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They dont collect money. They dont push religion (宗教). So whats the point? “To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with

36、 open talk.” Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to continue talking with strangers after their return. “It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “We were
