20、Do you know________ ________（发生什么）outside just now？

21、   The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.

When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.

In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.

Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.

【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.

A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的

【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.

A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running

B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running

C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture

【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.

A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887

【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.

A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends

【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera

B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures

C.how photography helped people know more about animals

D.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully

23、   Like many high school graduates, Maggie Doyne didn't go straight to college. She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets. They were often forced to work at hard physical jobs for little money.

One day, while walking down a country road, Doyne saw a little girl breaking up rocks. She soon learned that 7­year­old Hima sold the rocks to support her family. With deep sadness, she decided to pay Hima's tuition for school. Encouraged by the changes in the child, Doyne thought，“If we can help one child, why not？”

Doyne felt that the street children's greatest need was a home. She found a piece of land for sale and bought it with $5，000 she saved from years of babysitting. In 2008 the Kopila Valley Children's Home was set up. With the help from the community, another goal was reached in 2010—the Kopila Valley School.

24、Recording Your Life Online via Vlog

Whether you're a vlogger, a vlog fan or a complete vlogging newcomer, there is no denying that this method of communication has taken the world by storm. But what exactly is a vlog? A vlog is when someone records their life and put it online. Vlogging can be just a hobby or a full-time job. So how do you make a vlog? Let's find out!

Vlog Process

Once you have a few video ideas, making a vlog can be as easy as taking out a camera and recording yourself. But if you want to have a realistic flow, a video concept and some good clips(片段)to use, there should probably be some research and planning done first. Creating a checklist of things that need to be done can be helpful in the beginning. Next you can start thinking about talking points. You might write some key points or even a whole script. The third step is filming your vlog in clips, bit by bit. Vloggers hardly ever record a 20-minute video straight through without taking a break. After you have all the clips ready on your camera, it's time to upload them onto a laptop and start editing them.

Vlog Standards

It can be difficult to know how to make a vlog without knowing about the vlog requirements. The three main areas that you want to make sure are working for your vlog are image clarity, audio and copyright, and length. Unsteady or shaky video with copy-righted(受版权保护的)music will definitely combine to create a terrible vlog. Keep a steady hand and use online resources to get some music to pop into your vlog and you're on to a winner. The duration of the vlog depends on how often you post and the amount of content you have. If you put your vlog on the daily, your videos can be a bit shorter. But if you only put it online once every few weeks, it might be a good idea for a longer video. Remember these vlogs are not professional movies, so if you sometimes have shakes of a camera or a bit of bad lighting, people won't mind. It might even be lovely! Humans are not perfect creatures, and neither are your vlogs. Be happy with your current performance and know that even the best vloggers still have room for improvement.

【2】What is the first step of making a vlog?

A．A short video with clear points.

B．A shaky video with copy-righted music.

C．A one-hour long vlog with only one clip.

D．A video with clear images and copyright free music.
