| 阅读理解 | When I was thirteen years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile.
It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a
result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn"t talk to anyone
about my problem, and I didn"t want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.
At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn"t know who he was. He passed me and then turned
back. He looked at me and smiled without a word.
Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy and warm.
That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by Day, I
became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn"t remember smiling at me! It doesn"t matter because
all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are
lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

So he invented a very simple camera. 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 (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere,
another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way.
In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called
a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguere"s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all
around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and
moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But
this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. These
pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike (栩栩如生的).
Photography also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century.Some photos were not just
copies of the real world. They showed feelings like other kinds of art. | | 1. The first photo taken by Niepce was a pictures of ______. | | [ ] | A. his house
