As you probably know, we're going to be cleaning up all of the garbage here at the lake area. We'll begin by dividing into two ten-person teams, one team will pick up litter in the picnic are and jogging trail, and one will dig out garbage found in the shallow waters of the lake itself. We'll be putting the litter in these plastic trash bags. Toss any aluminum cans you find into these boxes, and we'll take them to the recycling center later.

What will David do this evening?Today, I'll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography. The camera if often thought to be a modern invention. But as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkened silver salt, a chemical compound. Using as a camera, a big box with a small hole to let the light in, he made temporary images on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal sensitized with silver salt. A photography he made in 1826 still exists. The painter Dagera improved on the process by placing common. Salt, the kind we eat, on the metal. This was in 1839, the official date of the beginning of photography. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of paper we now use that good printing was possible and photography became truly modern. In 1860's, Matthew Brady was able to take his famous pictures of the American Civil War, thus making portrait poses very popular. In the 20th century, George Eastman of the United States simplified film developing, and Edwards Land invented the so-called instant camera with self-developing film. If we say that the photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it has taken more than one hundred years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement.46. What discovery was the basis of photography?47. How was the first prominent picture made?48. What does the speaker regard as the official date of the beginning of photography?49. According to the speaker, why was Matthew Brady remembered today?50. What did Doctor Edwards Land invent?。
