11.My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died.As a single parent,I tried to do my best to talk to him.But the more I tried,the more he pulled away.When his report card arrived during his junior year,it said that he had been absent 95times from classes and had six falling grades for the year.In this way he would never graduate.I sent him to the school adviser,and I even begged him.Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help."Please God,I can't do anything more for my son.I'm at the end of my rope.I'm giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call.A man introduced himself as the headmaster."I want to talk to you about Karl's absences."Before he could say another word,I choked up(哽咽)and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger."I love my son,but I just don't know what to do.I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked.It's out of my hands."For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line.The headmaster seriously said,"Thank you for your time",and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades.Finally,he was even on the list of the best students at school.In his fourth year,I attended a parent--teacher meeting with Karl.I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around.On our way home,he said,"Mum,remember that call from the headmaster last year?"I nodded."That was me.I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said,it really hit me how much I was hurting you.That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

The next important date in the history of photograph was 1837.That year,Daguerre,another Frenchman,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.The photographers could take pictures of people and moving things.The process was not simple.The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment(设备).But this did not stop the photographers,especially in the United States.
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.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war.His 1862Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and destroyed cities.They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s,new inventions began to change photograph.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(冲洗) the film at once.They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later.They did not have to carry lots of equipment.And finally,the invention of the small hand-held camera made photography less expensive.
Photography is also a form of art.Some photographs were not just copies of the real world.They showed ideas and feelings,like other art forms.
