A traveler came out of the airport. There were a lot of taxies. He asked every taxi-driver his name. Then he took the third one. It cost 5 dollars from the airport to the hotel. "How much does it cost for the whole day？" the man asked. "100 dollars," said the taxi-driver. This was very expensive, but the man said it was OK.

The taxi-driver took the man everywhere. He showed him all the parks and museums in the city. In the evening, they went back to the hotel. The traveler gave the taxi-driver 100 dollars and said, "What about tomorrow？" The taxi-driver looked at the man and said, "Tomorrow？ It is another 100 dollars." But the man said, "That's OK! See you tomorrow." The taxi-driver was very pleased.

The next day, the taxi-driver took the traveler everywhere again. They visited all the parks and museums again. And in the evening, they went back to the hotel. The man gave the tax-driver 100 dollars again and said, "I'm going home tomorrow." The taxi-driver was very sorry because he liked the traveler and, above all, 100 dollars a day was a lot of money. "So you are going home. Where do you come from？" he asked. "I come from New York." "New York!" said the taxi-driver. "I have a sister in New York; her name is Susanna. Do you know her？"

Passage Two

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. 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 (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, 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.

In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.

Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual' because they were very lifelike.
