A Frenchman Niepce,needed pictures for his business.But he was not a good artist.So he invented a very simple camera in 1826.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 (摄影术) was in 1837.That year,Dagueme,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.
In 1840,photography was developed once more.Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.But the photographers had to carry many machines.
With the development of science and technology,a Chinese young man Wang Mengqiu,invented Hover Camera (无人相机).It can record people and things more wonderfully.He once studied at Stanford University in the United States.He became famous overnight because of the invention.
Hover Camera records movements with a 13 MP camera and takes 4 K videos.You can use a smartphone to control it.It can follow you,flying or staying in mid﹣air.In this way,it can get the perfect pictures.It is the best choice for weddings,sports games and holidays because Hover Camera is convenient for the users to carry.It can be folded,so it can be put into a small bag.When the power is low,it can land safely.
In the future,cameras will be designed better and better.People can take more lively photos and videos.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."
The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away by chance.
"You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you."
"But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.
"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."
The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."
"I can," answered the captain.
"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"
"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."
"But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily.
" 'A fire's fire,' you said," answered the sailor. "If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken."The captain got the sailors' wages ________.

The captain insisted that the fire was warming the sailor because he ________.

An Englishman, a Frenchman and a Russian were discussing happiness. "Happiness," said the Englishman, "Happiness is when you return home tired after work, yet find your slippers(拖鞋) warming by the fire."
