Scientists have recently discovered that mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 255 right-handed mothers 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed women 78% held the baby on the left. As a control women were watched coming from supermarkets carrying baby-sized bags; the bags were held with no side preference. Then dental patients were given a large rubber ball to hold during treatment. The majority held the ball to their left side even when it interfered with the dentist's activities. This suggested that in times of stress objects are held against the left side. At that point something clearly contrary was observed. A large number of mothers who brought their premature (早产的) babies to a clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So 115 mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to midline of the mother's body and noted how she held the baby. 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. And it was also noted that the mothers of the group who had held their baby on the left had already had a baby from which they had not been separated after birth. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat. In order to discover whether hearing the heart has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heart-beat was played to 102 babies in a New York nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heart-beats. The babies in the heart-beat group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group. 63. Scientists found that _____. A. left-handed women tend to hold their babies on the right B. more right-handed women than left-handed women tend to hold their babies on the left C. only right-handed women tend to hold their babies on the correct side D. women who hold their babies on the left are nearly all right-handed 64. What was "something clearly contrary"? A. Mothers of premature babies held their babies on the correct side. B. Mothers of premature babies took their babies to a clinic. C. Mothers of premature babies were seen to hold their babies differently from other mothers. D. Mothers of premature babies showed no side preference. 65. In one experiment 102 babies spent four days _____. A. not exposed to heart-beats                                   B. in a control group C. exposed to the sound of heart-beats                      D. in a New York heart-beat group 66. The experiments proved that _____. A. mothers have an instinct to hold their babies on the left immediately after birth B. mothers hold their babies on the left at times of stress C. mothers of premature babies do not have the instinct to hold their babies on the left D. mothers find it more comfortable to carry their babies on the left because the heart is on that side   D 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 yard. That was the first photograph.

www.88haoxue.com The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
　 Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.
　 In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to cary lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
　 Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality（个性）.
　 Brady was also the first preson to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
　 In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography… Photographers could buy films readymade in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
