阅读表达

Susie Sunbeam was not her real name; that was Susan Brown. But everyone called her Susie Sunbeam because she always brought brightness when she came. Her grandfather first gave her this name, and it seemed to fit the little girl so nicely that soon it took the place of her own.

Even when a baby,　 Susie laughed from morning till night. No one ever heard her cry unless she was sick or hurt.

When she learned to walk, she loved to get things for her mother, and in this way save her as many steps as she could. She would sit by her mother’s side for an hour at a time, and ask her so many questions, or she would take her new book and read. Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children. She never used an unkind word, but tried to do what she could to make her playmates happy. One day, a poor little girl with a very old dress was going by and Susie heard some children making fun of her. She at once ran out of the gate, and asked the poor little girl to come in. “What are you crying for?” Susie asked. “Because they all laugh at me,” she said.

Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She cheered her up with kind words, and gave her a nice dress and a pair of shoes. This brought real joy and gladness to the poor child, and she, too, thought that Susie was rightly called Sunbeam.

Answer the following questions with No More Than 8 Words.

One day, Susie was unhappy when she came home from school. “What’s the matter, my dear?” asked her mother, drawing her to her side and smiling.

“All our class must hand in compositions tomorrow. We must write 12 lines at least. But I can never write one. I’ll have to go to school without a composition, for I won’t copy one from a book, or ask you or papa to write one for me.”

“That’s right,” said her mother. “You’ll be happier with a poor composition, if it’s your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. But cheer up. Run into the garden and play. I’ll call you in half an hour. Don’t think about your composition now. Just have a good time.”

It seemed just a few minutes to Susie before she heard her mother calling her. She went into the house immediately — her hands full of sweet flowers, and her face red with exercise.

Then her mother asked her to sit by the window with a nice piece of paper and a pencil, and write something about what she could see. “Never mind your composition; do this to please me, and we’ll talk about that later.”

Although Susie thought her mother’s request was strange, she knew she always had a good reason for everything she did. So she did as her mother requested.

As she looked out, she first saw the western sky and some bright, sunset clouds. “Oh, mother, what a sunset!”

“Don’t talk. Just write.”

The pencil began moving rapidly across the paper. She wrote about the sunset clouds, the look of the distant hills, the streets, the river, the garden with its flowers, and the birds flying past the window. She forgot all about the terrible composition!

Just as she had reached the bottom of the page, her mother came in and said with a smile, “Well, Susie, how does that composition come on?”

“Composition! You told me not to think about it, and I’ve never thought of it once. I’ve had such a nice time writing about what I could see from the window.”

Mrs. Smith took the paper and read what Susie had written. She said, “There, Susie, that’s a very nice composition, really.”

“A composition! Is that a composition?” Susie asked in surprise.

“Yes, my dear, and a very good one, too, if we find a title for it,” replied her mother. Then she added, “I’m sure it will please your teacher, as it does me. You see, it’s easy enough to write a composition if you have anything interesting to write about.”

1.Susie was unhappy when she came home because _____.

A. she was punished by her teacher

B. she couldn’t write a composition

C. she forgot to take her composition home

D. she didn’t get on well with her classmates

2.From the story we can know Susie’s mother _____.

A. had never understood her daughter

B. had never talked with Susie’s teacher

C. knew how to write a good composition

D. wrote the composition for her daughter

3.The title of Susie’s composition might be _____.

A. My Helpful Clever Mother　　 B. The Beautiful Sights at Sunset

C. How to Please Your Teacher　　 D. How to Have a Pleasant Time

4.What might happen the next morning?

A. Susie’s classmates would laugh at her.

B. Susie’s teacher would be angry with her.

C. Susie’s mother would ask her to stay at home.

D. Susie would hand in her composition happily.

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 (摄影) was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, 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 Daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’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).

Photography also became a kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Answer the following questions according to what you read.

1.Who took the first photo?　 (不超过四个单词)

2.The Daguerreotype was a kind of photo, wasn’t it? (不超过三个单词)
