Important tips for better flash(閃光燈、閃光)photos

　　Don't stand too far back from your subject．The flash on most cameras will not cover any subject well over three metres away．Even in non-flash photos many photographers stand too far away from their subjects．As a result, the subjects are small with great areas of unimportant background．

　　Watch the background carefully and be sure there are no mirrors or shiny things to reflect(反射)the flash back to the camera lens(鏡頭)．

　　When taking pictures of people, ask them not to look into the lens but at a point over your shoulder, because it is very possible that the flash will reflect from their eyes and there will be red eyes in the photo．

　　Try to give the subjects an interesting background．If there is nothing for two metres behind the subject, the background will come out black or very dark．Of course, you don't want an untidy background, because it will take people's attention away from your subject．

　　If taking a picture of a baby, be sure the room is as light as possible so that the flash does not hurt his/her eyes．

(1)

To avoid red eyes in the photo, the best place people should look at is ________．

[　　]

A．

the sun in the sky

the mirror behind the photographer

C．

the lens of the camera

D．

(3)

[　　]

　　There are some stories behind English words．

　　You've spent a lot of time studying how to use English in a proper way．But have you ever wondered why English speakers say some of the things they say?For example, why do they say“an easy task”is“a piece of cake”?Why do the two letters“OK”means“all right”?

　　Many English words and phrases have stories behind them．Sometimes these stories can help us look back into old western history．Let's take a look at a few of the original * common English words and phrases：

　　“OK”was an American who lived in the 19th century．His name was“Old Kinderhook”．In one year he was trying to take the place of the leader of his town．His supporters went around the town shouting“OK\OK\”The supporters thought their future leader was“all right”．The expression caught on, and now if something is“all right”, people like to say“OK|”

　　Boss*

　　Is your boss nice to you?If not, just be glad you weren't living in the old times．Back to that time, bosses could do anything bad to their men and could even beat* them!That explains why the word“boss”comes from an old German word meaning“to beat”．

　　A piece of cake

　　A famous American writer named Ogden Nash lived in the 1930s．Many readers enjoyed his poems and wrote them down in their notebooks．In one of his poems, Nash wrote,“Her picture's in the papers now, and life's a piece of cake．”His readers found these words interesting and quickly wrote them down．They thought that if one picture in a newspaper could make you famous, wouldn't life be easy?

　　Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job．Every day trucks come into a city to collect it．Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use．If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish．

　　In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump．Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole．The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system．The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places．

　　To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish．Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land．Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump．

　　In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places．The fire burns everything but the metal．Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal．The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called hurnus, which looks like black earth．It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow．
