In many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying. Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measure the results in terms of sharp and correctly developed pictures. Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic skills in the wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the viewfinder and turning that into the most effective picture becomes totally interesting.
All good photographs have one thing in common: there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant to be. Every photographer must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to finished results but to the subject before he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be and why you are taking the picture. For example, "I am going to take a picture of this street to show the different styles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living, working and shopping in them since time began." By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip somewhere? The judgment is always similar, something about "the car park is out of the picture to the left", or "you can't quite see from this picture but if you go up the street". The photographs are usually collections of buildings, people, parked cars, possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta, disappearing in the middle distance. When photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not appear in the picture. If they had given just a little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its own story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.
64. What does the author mean by saying "in many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying"?
A. The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as before.
B. The earliest pictures were the best pictures people have ever taken.
C. The present-day photography depends more on technology than on art.
D. Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step in photography and is easily learned.
65. What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance?
A. It will allow you to leave out unnecessary material.
B. It will allow you to stand in the best place.
C. It will help you to vary the subjects of your pictures.
D. It means you will waste less time.
66. Many photographers fail because ______.
A. their pictures include both buildings and people    
B. everything is not clear in their pictures
C. the subjects of their pictures are not obvious
D. the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken
67. What book is this passage most likely taken from?
A. A book on photography for news reporters.   B. A book on how to photograph people.
C. A book on choosing the right camera.           D. A book on improving photographic techniques.

Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify   36  a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are   37  of that parent. The things parents do and say---and the   38  they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child’s   39 . However, parents must consistently behave like the type of   40  they want their child to become.
A parent’s actions   41  affect the self-image that a child forms   42  identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their   43  will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly   44  qualities in their parents will have difficulty   45  positive qualities in themselves. Children may   46  their self-image, however, as they become increasingly   47   by peers groups standards before they reach 13.
Isolated(孤立的) events,   48  dramatic(突然的) ones, do not necessarily have a permanent   49  on a child’s  behavior. Children interact such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can,   50 , accept the divorce of their parents’ or a parent’s early   51 . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events   52  a sign of rejection or punishment.
In the same way, all children are not influenced   53  by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs.   54  in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the   55  of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.

The next day I sat down，with almost a hundred other candidates，for the intelligence test．I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test．This time there were only about fifty candidates．The interviewer sat at a desk．Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed，after a greater or shorter time．Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones．Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes．Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half．
I can remember the questions now：“Why did you leave your last job?”“Why did you leave your job before that?”“And the one before that?”I can’t recall my answers，except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter．His closing statement，I thought，evealed(揭示)a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist，he had risen no higher than the underground railway．“You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position．”
Failing to get that job was my low point．Or so I thought，believing that the work was easy．Actually，such jobs—being a postman is another one I still desire—demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give．But I was still far short of full self-understanding．I was also short of cash．
小題1:The writer applied for the job chiefly because        .
A．he wanted to work in the centre of London
B．he could no longer afford to live without one
C．he was not interested in any other available job
D．he had received some suitable training

小題4:What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be
B．How difficult it is to be a poet
C．How unsuitable he was for the job
D．How badly he did in the interview
小題5:What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?

But I wonder about my Momma sometimes, and all the other Negro (blacks) mothers who got up at 6 a.m. to go to the white man’s house with sacks (鞋套) over their shoes because it was so wet and cold. I wonder how they managed it. They worked very hard for the man, they made his breakfast and they scrubbed his floors and they took care of his babies. They didn’t have too much time for us.
I wonder about my Momma, who walked out of a white woman’s clean house at midnight and came back to her own where the lights had been out for three months, and the hot-water pipes were frozen and the wind came in through the holes in the wall. She’d have to deal with the mice: leave some food out for them so they wouldn’t bite the doors or the babies. The roaches（蟑螂）？Oh, they were just like part of the family!
I wonder how she felt telling those white kids she took care of to brush their teeth after they ate, to wash their hands after they finished bathroom. She could never tell her own kids because there wasn’t soap or water back home.
I wonder how my Momma felt when we came home from school with a list of vitamins and pills the school nurse said we had to have. Momma would cry all night , and then go out and spend most of the rent (房租) money for pills. A week later, the white man would come for his eighteen dollars’ rent and Momma would beg him to wait until tomorrow. She had to lie to him that she had lost her wallet, or make up some other excuses. Tomorrow I’d be hiding in the closet (櫥柜) because there should be only two kids in the flat, and I could hear the rent man shout at my Momma and call her a cheat. And when he finally went away, Momma put the sacks on her shoes and went off to the rich white man’s house to dress the rich white kids so their mother could take them to a special baby doctor.

A. The closet could only hold two kids.              
B. Only two kids were allowed to live in the house.
C. They should pay more rent for two kids.
