when a well-dressed man came in with a little boy after him.

Tom was asked to prepare lunch for him. Seeing the man was wearing nice clothes,

he thought the man might have much money, so eggs, bread, meat and other best food

were put on the table quickly. Even while they were almost eating up all the things,

the man stood up and told Tom he would like to go to the next shop to buy him a

nice present to show his thanks. And he also told the boy to wait for him for a

minute. This made Tom very happy. Tom kept adding dishes on the table while the

boy sat there eating.

Half an hour passed, the man didn’t come back. Tom waited for another half an

hour with patience(耐心), but still the man wasn’t seen. At last he couldn’t

keep quiet any longer. He went up to the boy and asked , “Why hasn’t your father

come back yet?” The boy stopped eating and answered , “I don’t know him at all. I just met

him in the street, and he asked if I’d like to have a rich lunch. I agreed and

came here with him for a meal without paying”

Passage Four

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was

not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year,

Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind

of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly,

even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
