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 garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, 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 Daguerre’s way. Travellers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, photography developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike. Photography also became an art form by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed the feelings, like the other art forms.

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure (血压).
Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can someti mes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep. they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert (专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should t sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’ some day.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”
Good sleep, healthy aging!

Televisions have been necessary in most houses for a long time. Children are very fond of watching TV. Some parents are happy about that because it keeps their children away from playing with and breaking things.
Watching TV can help your children learn about lots of things, such as music, other countries and many other things. They will learn about what is good and what is bad. TV also provides children with up-to-date information about the outside world.
However, it’s not right to say that watching TV doesn’t have any bad effect s on children. You can’t let them watch TV as much as they want. Watching TV takes a lot of time. Children need to discover the world by themselves, not just from TV. Besides, children are growing and they need to move around and get lots of exercise. Sitting still and watching TV too much will make children become weaker physically. Most children like to eat snacks while watching TV. That will make them put on weight. To make it worse,
there may be too many advertisements and violent (暴力的) scenes on TV. These things, of course, are bad for children.
As parents, you should control the amount of TV programmes that your children watch. You have to choose the right channels for them and shouldn’t let the TV be on all day. Turn it off right after their programmes end. Encourage them to take part in outdoor activities and do more things. Never put a TV in the bedroom, especially not in your children’s room!

C. 阅读短文并简要回答下列问题（每题2分，计10分）
I will never forget the excitement of those moments with Grandma in Bobbie’s bushes. One day before Christmas, my elder sister Emma dropped the bomb, “There is no Father Christmas,” she laughed. “Even fools know that!”
I ran to Grandma because I knew she always told me the tr uth. After I told her everything, she said, “No Father Christmas? Don’t believe it. Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go? Where to go?” I asked.
“Where”turned out to be the General Store. Grandma handed me ten dollars.
That was a lot in those days. “Take this money and buy something for those who need it. I’ll wait for you in the car.”
The store seemed crowded, full of people doing their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, holding the money, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for.
Suddenly I thought of Bobbie who sat behind me at school. I remembered he didn’t have a coat. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the shopkeeper smiled at me and wished me a Merry Christmas.
That evening, Grandma helped me put the coat in a Christmas gift paper bag and wrote, “To Bobbie. From Father Christmas” on it. Then she droved me to Bobbie’s house and parked down the street from his house.
Grandma and I crept (蹑手蹑脚地走) and hid in the bush. Then Grandma gave me a sign.
“All right. Father Christmas, get going.”
I took a deep breath, rushed to his front door, threw the present outside it, rang his doorbell and flew back to the safety. Together we waited breathlessly in the darkness for the front door to open. Finally it did and there stood Bobbie.
That night, I realized Father Christmas was alive and well because everyone was on his team.

Winter holiday safety
Dear friends,
In order to have a happy winter holiday, we should always keep safety in mind. But how can we be safe? Here are some of my suggestions. First, we should be careful when we make friends, especially online. Second, if we are in danger, we must call the police for help in time so that we can keep ourselves safe. Also, we ought to eat healthily and safely. Eating too much food or food that goes bad will do hearm to our health. Besides, we can do some exercise to keep fit. Last but not least, the winter holiday is coming, and we must remember it’s dangerous to let off fireworks. In short, safety must come first!
Thank you!
