A Frenchman, Niepce, needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a simple camera in 1826. 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)was in 1937. 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 clearly, even the smallest thing.
In 1840, photography was developed once more. Then photographers(摄影者)could take pictures of people and moving things. But the photographers had to carry many machines. With the development of science and technology, a Chinese young man, Wang Mengqiu, invented Hover Camera(无人相机). It can record people and things more wonderfully. He once studied at Stanford University in the United States. He became famous overnight because of the invention. In the future, cameras will be designed(设计) better and better. People can take more lively photos and videos.
Rat helps Toad into his home. Toad is very happy to be in his friend’s house.
“Oh Rat!” he cries, “I want to tell you about my adventures(冒险经历).
I am a clever Toad! Prison (监狱), then run away on a train then a horse…”.
“Toad! You look terrible. Stop boasting(自吹自擂)! And why are you in a dress? Put on some dry clothes. Go!”
Toad is angry. But he takes off his dress and puts on dry clothes. He washes his face and he looks in the mirror(镜子) and smiles.
“I am a handsome Toad,” he says.
Later, Toad and Rat have lunch. Toad eats and tells Rat about his adventures. He talks and talks. But Rat doesn’t say a word.

Before the discovery of DNA information in the 1980s, fingerprints (指纹) were the easiest way to solve serious crimes. It’s believed that each one of us has our own fingerprint. But did you know that our fingerprints could show a lot about us?
According to The Conversation, fingerprints can show lifestyle and environment, eating habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
So how can we work all this out from just a simple fingerprint?
Well, a fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t be seen to the eye and require a chemical development process in order to make them shown. Stuck between the raised lines of a fingerprint are things that can tell a story about who we are. Things like sweat, blood and food show a lot of information about us.
Besides, its use could be much wider. For example, it may be helpful in the future to doctors treating their patients. A fingerprint check may also tell a doctor whether a patient is properly having a medicine. In the treatment of some of the most serious illnesses, having proper medicine is important.
In the future, fingerprint science can be used by the police and help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
