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, Daguerro, 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 Daguerro type.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerro’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. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生的).

Millions of people around the world cook their food on fire every day. People must spend lots of money on cooking fuel. However, there is a much easier and cheaper way to cook food using energy from the sun.
Sun-cookers have been used for centuries. A Swiss scientist made the first sun-cooker in 1777. Today, people are using sun-cookers in many countries around the world. People use them to cook food and to heat drinking water.
There are three kinds of sun-cookers. The first is a box cooker. It is designed with a special wall that collects sun-shine into the box. A box cooker is good for slow cooking of a lot of food.
The second kind of sun-cooker is a panel cooker. It has several flat walls that concentrate the sun-shine on the food. People can build panel cookers quickly. They do not cost much. In Kenya, for example, panel cookers cost just two dollars.
The third kind of sun-cooker is a parabolic cooker. It has rounded walls that concentrate sunlight into the bottom of the cooker. Food cooks quickly in parabolic cookers. However, these cookers are hard to make. They must be moved again and again to follow the sun. Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly.
You can make sun-cookers from boxes or heavy paper. They will not catch fire. Paper burns at 232℃. A sun-cooker never gets hotter than that. Sun-cookers cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time. This allows people to cook food and do other things at the same time. What does the underlined word fuel mean?
A.燃料 | B.菜谱 | C.调料 | D.粮食 |
If you want to cook food quickly, which kind of sun-cooker is your best choice?
A.a box cooker | B.a panel cooker |
C.a parabolic cooker | D.fire cooker |
Which kind of sun-cooker costs very little?
A.a box cooker | B.a panel cooker |
C.a parabolic cooker | D.fire cooker |
Which of the following is TRUE?

B.Sun-cookers often get hotter than 232℃. |
C.Parabolic cookers can be dangerous sometimes. |
D.It is more expensive to cook with a sun-cooker than on fire. |
