The first time I remember noticing the crossing guard was when he waved to me as I drove my son to school. He 31 me with a puzzle—all because he waved to me like someone does 32 seeing a close friend. A big, 33 smile accompanied(伴随) his wave. For the next few days I tried to 34 his face to see if I knew him. I didn’t. Perhaps he had 35 me for someone else. By the time I contented myself with the 36 that he and I were strangers, we were greeting each other warmly every morning like old friends.
Then one day the 37 was solved. As I 38 the school he was standing in the middle of the road 39 his stop sign. I was in the line behind four cars. 40 the kids had reached the safety of the sidewalk, he lowered his sign and let the cars 41 . To the first he waved and 42 just the same way he had done to me over the last few days. The kids already had the window down and were happily waving their reply. The second car got the same 43 from the crossing guard, and the driver, a stiff- looking (表情刻板的) businessman, gave a brief,（简洁的） almost 44 wave back. Each following car of kids on their way to school 45 more heartily.
Every morning I continued to watch the man with 46 . So far I haven’t seen anyone 47 to wave back. I find it interesting that one person can make such a 48 to so many people’s lives by doing one simple thing like waving and smiling warmly. His 49 armed the start of my day. With a friendly wave and smiling face he had changed the 50 of the whole neighborhood.

At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 2 . Although we all lived “in”, 3 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
The 4 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 5 class. The new ones always went wild at first, but this never lasted long.
The 6 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like 7 ; never did we have to 8 “stand up”, “speak out”. I don't 9 one student who didn't try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in 10 school, but what a difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had no classes in spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 12 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms-small ones 13 , but unusual. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 14 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 15 the angles (角度) and so on. I didn't take math. I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the things with numbers. That's 16 ! 17 , I think I am a 18 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I can think better. That's probably a real big 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20 .

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history! of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to cary lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality （个性）.
Brady was also the first preson to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography... Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures" snapshot".
Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.
Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 10th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.
