25、us about the private (46) (life) of actors and pop stars? If so, youre not alone. Every day, the worlds newspapers, magazines, and websites de (47) a constant stream of gossip about the rich and famous. Although its sometimes called “junk food news“, celebrity gossip is more popular than ever.Movie

26、stars, athletes, singers, and (48) (politics) are the favorite subjects of the gossip media. Because theyre always in the public eye, some people feel very close to these people.

It was a long time before people figured out how to

32、make the right kind of paper for photographs. Modern photography, as we know it, really came into being in the 19th century, around the year 1865, to be exact. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, photography really took off. Several types of cameras were invented during the time, and photographers al

33、so came up with new and better ways to take pictures. Photography became a form of art.Although most people think photographs show real things, photography also changed peoples ideas about modern art. Modern art developed in the late 19th century, around the time of the invention of photographs. Mod

34、ern art was different from other kinds of art because modern art paintings did not try to show “realistic“ pictures. For example, artists of modern art often produced paintings that looked different from a real picture. Photography was perfect for producing modern art. For example, a photographer co

35、uld focus on the subject of a picture and make it look very clear, while other parts of the picture were not in focus and therefore looked fuzzy. In this way, photographers could make pictures look less realistic.We are now living in the time of postmodern art. Postmodern art developed in the late 1

36、950s and has allowed for further changes in the world of art. In the case of photography, computers have changed a lot about the way that photographs are made and viewed. For example, a photographer can now take pictures using a digital camera. These pictures can be saved on a computer and changed u

37、sing a computer program. In this way, the photographer can change the colors and many other aspects of a photograph. For example, the photographer can change all of the colors in a photograph to light or dark red, or he or she can make photographs darker or lighter. These kinds of treatment can crea

38、te interesting effects.Computers are also changing the way people share photographs. In the past, a photographer had to put his photos in a book, called an album, to show his photographs to lots of people. Now, with the Internet, photographers can share their photographs with thousands of people qui

39、ckly and easily!

It takes even more courage to deal with losing a leg because of that cancer

41、 However, it takes a true hero to then attempt to run across the second largest country in the world with an artificial leg in order to raise money for cancer. A man named Terry Fox was just such a hero.Terry was only eighteen years old when doctors told him and his family that he had a type of bon

42、e cancer in his knee. The doctors said that they had to cut off Terrys leg. Terry showed a great deal of courage when he lost his leg. He quickly learned to use his artificial leg, and he did not feel sorry for himself. He was thankful that he was still alive.After his experiences with other cancer

43、patients in hospital, Terry wanted to do something. Not a lot of people knew much about cancer at the beginning of the 1980s, and not a lot of money was going towards finding a cure or developing better treatments. Terry decided that he was going to raise one dollar for every person in Canada. The p

44、opulation of Canada at the time was 24 million, so he planned to raise 24 million dollars for cancer research, and he planed to do this by running across the country.On a beach in Newfoundland, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope by dipping his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 19

45、80. He ran about 42 kilometers a day, and he gave speeches along the way. People were learning about cancer, and they were giving money to Terry and his dream. Terry kept running. He ran through Quebec to Ontario. By August, he was halfway across Canada.In the middle of the Marathon of Hope, however

46、 Terrys chest started to hurt. He stopped running and saw a doctor. Unfortunately, the cancer had returned and was now in his lungs. He had to give up the Marathon of Hope and go back into hospital. Sadly, Terry Fox passed away in 1981 without finishing his run, but not before 24 million dollars had been raised for cancer research. Money has continued to be raised in his name since that time. More than 360 million dollars has been raised worldwide in yearly Terry Fox Runs.（分数：10.00）_
