As people have accurately observed,smiles are absent from early photographs. In 1852,for instance,a girl sat for her Daguerrotype,her head slightly turned,giving the camera an unsmiling look. She is preserved forever as a very serious girl indeed. Charles Darwin,a loving and playful parent,looks frozen in photographs. Why did our ancestors,from unknown sitters for family portraits(肖像畫(huà)) to the great and famous,because so sad in front of the camera?

The severity is everywhere in Victorian photographs. However,you don’t have to look very long at these unsmiling old photos to see how incomplete the seemingly obvious answer is-that they are freezing their faces in order to keep still for the long exposure times. In Julia Margaret Cameron’s Portrait of Tennyson,the poet dreams,his face a shadowed mask of genius. This is not simply a technique. It’s an emotional choice.

People in the past did not go around in a continual state of sorrow. In fact,the Victorians had a sense of humor even about the darkest aspects of their society. Laughter was not just common in the past but accepted by society far more than it is today,from medieval carnivals(中世紀(jì)狂歡節(jié)) to Georgian print shops,where people gathered to look at the latest funnies. Far from preventing festivals and fun,the Victorians,who invented photography,also created Christmas as a celebration as it is today. So the severity of people in the 19th-century photographs cannot be the evidence of generalized sadness. This was not a society in permanent desperation. Instead,the true answer has to do with attitudes to portraiture itself.

People who sat for early photographs understood it as a significant moment. Sitting for the camera was cheaper,quicker and meant that people who never had a chance to be painted could now be photographed; but people seemed to have taken it seriously in the same way they would be a painted portrait. Like a portrait painting,it was intended as a timeless record of a person.

To me those unsmiling people probably had as much fun as we do,if not more. But they felt no need to prove it with pictures. Instead,when whey sat for a photograph,they thought about time,death and memory. Perhaps we should stop smiling sometimes,too.

1.What do we know about the people in Victorian times?

A. They laid importance on religious events.

B. They were skillful at portrait painting.

C. They valued their family life.

D. They enjoyed themselves.

2.The author mentions Portrait of Tennyson in Paragraph 2 to__________.

A. prove a theory

B. support his opinion

C. introduce a painting

D. describe a technique

3.The author thinks early people look frozen in old photos because____.

A. they lived in a traditional society

B. they had to stay still for a long time

C. they regarded photography important

D. they held negative views about painting

4.What is the author’s attitude towards people not smiling in old photos?

B. Critical.

C. Neutral.

D. Positive.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神)and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (彈跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don't let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (緊緊地);the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.

Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure (珍寶) you can always carry easily.

Don't use time or words carelessly. You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密),and today is a gift: that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

3.Why can't we use time carelessly?

A schoolgirl saved her father's life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic (過(guò)敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.

Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.

Izzy's mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.
