16．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 1862Civil 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．

How to Communicate with Our Parents
Hello，everyone，I'd like to share my ideas about the topic of how to communicate with our parents．

8．Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone．
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life．"It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone．"Wegscheider has visited 46countries covering all seven continents．
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging．This is what drives young people to travel alone．It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own．
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year．He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures．He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier．"The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，"said the 30yearold man．
Richardson describes traveling alone like"a shot in the arm"，which"makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything"．He said，"The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task．""I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try．"
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，"Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness．"

29．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with？A
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone．
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries．
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend．
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things．
=0．Traveling alone is challenging becauseC．
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D．it will finally build your character
31．What can we infer about Chris Richardson？C
A．He started traveling alone at an early age．
B．He was once shot in the arm．
C．He used to work as a salesman．
D．His website inspires others a lot．
32．What is the best title for the passage？B
A．Travel Abroad    B．Travel Unaccompanied
C．Travel Light      D．Travel Wide and Far．
