The camera is often thought to be a modem 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 silver salt. Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today. Then a French scientist named Joseph made the first permanent (永久的) picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt. A photo he made in 1826 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the method by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat. This was in 1839, the official date of the beginning of photography. But the problem was the printing of the photos. And it wasnt until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper that good prints were possible and photography became truly modem. In the 1870s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War. In the 20s of this century, Dr Edward Lane invented the so-called Instant Camera which uses self-developing film. If we say photography came into being in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition.（1）The underlined word temporary in Paragraph 1 means _ in Chinese. A . 黑暗的B . 短暂的C . 突然的D . 美丽的（2）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.（3）The official date of the beginning of photography is _. A . 1727B . 1826C . 1839D . 1870（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A . The camera is a modern invention.B . People still use silver salt to make photographic films today.C . Good prints were possible because scientists developed the photographic paper.D .
