1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business .But he was not a good artist.So he invented a very simple camera (照相機).He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden .That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different processs. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travellers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Now photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States, where from the 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life-like and full of personality.
Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film readymade in rolls. So they did not have to make the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later, meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favourite places. They called these pictures "snapshots".
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.
Photography had turned into a form of art by the beginning of the 20th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about______________.
| A．the invention of cameras |

| B．an American photographer in the 1860s |
| C．a German reporter in the 1880s |
| D．a French artist in the 1890s |
| A．It was mainly based on the invention of the first photograph. |
| B．Photographers were popular in the United States because they carried lots of equipment. |
| C．Photographers used to make film themselves and developed it immediately after taking a photo. |
| D．Small handheld cameras made it possible for anyone to become a gifted photographer. |

Duane Innes, an engineer, caused a car accident to save the life of driver Bill Pace. 1 But in Bill Pace’s case, Innes’ decision to put his own car in Pace’s path saved Pace’s life.
While Innes was driving his truck, he noticed Pace’s truck changing direction suddenly. 2 When he looked back at the driver, he saw that Pace lost consciousness(知覺) behind the wheel. The cars are approaching a busy crossroads, and Innes knew that Pace could be just a second from a dangerous collision(碰撞) with another car. He had to think fast.
3 “If I could let him hit me, we could slow down together,” he thought. So Innes pulled up in front of Pace’s truck, and allowed it to hit his own car, bringing both trucks to a safe stop. Pace, a 70-year-old volunteer, had a heart attack a few days earlier and it caused him to lose his consciousness. 4
After spending a week in the hospital for his heart disease, Pace is now doing well. “ 5 He saved my life,” said Pace. Innes said, “If someone else heard this story and said, ‘Hey, it pays to do something good,’ then it’s all worth it.”
A. What a brave man Innes was!
B. Fortunately, Innes knew how to deal with it.
C. Duane Innes had to move his truck quickly to avoid getting hit.
D. Normally, if someone hits your car, you wouldn’t call him a hero.
E. Old people with serious heart diseases had better not drive cars.
F. If Innes hadn’t blocked his truck, he would likely have died in a collision.
G. Duane Innes was injured badly and sent to hospital as soon as possible.
