"I felt I was the unluckiest person in the world," says Wang."When I saw students with their schoolbags
on their backs, the sound of my wheelchair made me sick."
Wang's mother took him to a special hospital in Beijing. She looked after him in the daytime and worked
at night to make money. But after two years, Wang was still not able to leave the hospital. Wang's mother
became too tired to go on and one day she herself became a hospital patient!
One morning she woke up and saw her son holding breakfast for her. Wang's trip to the food shop was
his first time outside the hospital in two years. The five-minute walk took him thirty minutes. But he was
finally able to make an important decision."I didn't care how other people looked at me," he says."I had to
learn to do things myself."
For the next few years, Wang taught himself all his middle school subjects in the hospital and, five years
after the accident, he won a chance to study in a college in Norway. Wang learned to drive, go rock climbing
and ski. He even won two gold medals for skiing in an international skiing competition.
"You are what you think you are," says Wang. "If you think you're disabled, you are. If you don't think so,
you aren't."

The word, “photography”, was first used in 1839. It comes from the Greek words that mean “to write with light”. But photography could only give people static pictures. So scientists were trying hard to find ways to make pictures that can move. They made lots of experiments, but failed again and again. It was Eadweard Muybridge who finally succeeded. He was the first photographer to try this successfully. But how did he make it? It was an interesting story.
Back in 1872, people didn’t know exactly (确切地) whether all four of a horse’s hooves (蹄) left the ground at the same time when it was running. A gentleman called Leland Stanford made a bet with his friend about it. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, or it would fall over. But Stanford didn’t think so.
At that time, it was hard to know who could win the bet, because a horse’s legs move so fast that it is impossible to tell just by looking. So they needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. Then Stanford offered $25,000 to the famous photographer, Muybridge, to help find the answer. In the beginning, Muybridge failed to get clear images, but he didn’t give up. He continued to improve his cameras. In 1878, after many experiments, he managed to get a sequence (连续) of 12 photos. One of them clearly showed that all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. And when the photos moved fast, people could see a horse running.
Though is usually considered as the person who created the first movie in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.
53. The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 1 most probably means _______.
A. pretty B. dark C. moving D. still
54. What did Leland Stanford make a bet with his friend about?
A. Whose horse ran faster.
B. whether a horse would fall over while running.
C. whether it was possible for scientists to make moving pictures.
D.Whether a horse’s hooves all left the ground at the same time while running.
55. Muybridge finally found the exact answer to the bet in _______.
A. 1839 B. 1872 C. 1878 D. 1889
56. The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. that Thomas Edison created the first movie .
B. that Eadweard Muybridge created the first static pictures
C. how photography helped people know more about animals
D. how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of motion (移动) successfully
