The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt. Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in; he made temporary pictures on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist made the first permanent (永久的) picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the process (制作法) by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasnt until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern. In the 1870s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing (冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the socalled Instant Camera which uses selfdeveloping film. If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).32. What discovery was the basis of photography?A. Light darkens silver salt.B. Light darkens natural salt.C. Light darkens silver.D. Light darkens self-developing film33. How was the first permanent picture made?A. By making use of special paper.B. By adding common salt to silver salt.C. By giving a slight colour to the silver salt. D. By using a special piece of metal.34. What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography? A. 1727 B. 1826 C. 1839 D. 187035. According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today? A. He was a soldier. B. He took war photographs. C. He painted portraits. D. He designed a portable camera.第二节（共5小题，每小题两分，满分10分）Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bitand that can be a very annoying thing._36_.
