22、rent colors? In our eyes，we have special kinds of cone cells(锥体细胞)that pick up the light bouncing off(反射)each splotch(斑点)of paint.They look like icecream cones，but they are much smaller.The cone cells help people see different colors.There are long wave(波)cones，medium wave cones，and short wave cones
23、 in most peoples eyes.The three kinds of cone cells pick up different light waves and tell the brain how much each of them is bouncing off each splotch of paint.And then the brain puts those messages back together again.Colorblind people can still see some colors，but not as many as most people do.Th

27、 their shapes. 参考范文Cone cells in most peoples eyes offer help to people in seeing different colors.(要点1) The brain tells colors with the help of three kinds of cone cells，each of which is receiving different light waves.(要点 2) However，colorblind people have some problems in cone cells，which either are fewer in number or cant pick up the light waves normally.(要点 3) Although being colorblind is not a good thing，colorblind people have their own advantages in some ways.(要点4)
