23、In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

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 process. 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. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.

In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 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 films readymade in rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process 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 favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshot”.

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 drawing.

Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 10th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

【1】The passage is mainly about _____.

A. the invention of cameras

B. how to develop films

C. the development of photography

D. the important dates in the history of photography

【2】The first pictures of a war were taken by _____.

B. an American photographer in the 1860s

C. a German reporter in the 1880s

D. a French artist in the 1890s

【3】Photography can also be an art form because artists can _____.

A. take anything they like

B. keep a record of real life

C. take photos of the famous

D. show ideas and feeling in pictures

【4】According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?

a. Photographs became popular in newspapers.

b. Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.

c. The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.

24、I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus when I was two months old. After that, nothing.

At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous behavior? Late for school? None of them. I'd be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster's office. The school doctor would tell me I haven' received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would exempt me from the shots and nothing would happen.

After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don't vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease.

Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post reeve more than 1,000 comments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.

I did something every person should do. It wasn't special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don' t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccinated despite the opposition.

【1】What do we know about the author from Paragraph 1?

A．He was born disabled.

B．He was hardly ever vaccinated.

C．He suffered a lot from tetanus.

D．He grew up with his single mother.

【2】What made the author nervous at the beginning of each school year?

A．He was late for school.

B．He didn't behave himself.

C．He couldn't hand in his term paper on time.

D．He would be called to the headmaster's office.

【3】How might the author's mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician?

A．Annoyed

B．Grateful

C．Excited

D．Guilty

【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story?

A．Listening to your mother pays off.

B．Doing the right thing matters.

C．Keeping fit is the best policy.

D．Asking for advice helps.
