Photography has many uses. Most of us use photographs to save special moments for the future, but scientists can also learn a lot from them. In the nineteenth century, for example, people argued about whether all four of a horse's legs left the ground at the same time when it ran. A man call Eadweard Muybridge took ________ photographs of a horse and proved that all four legs were indeed off the ground at the same moment.

The ordinary camera that uses film seems to be a thing of the past. These days, more and more people are using ________ cameras to _______ those unforgettable moments. In ten years' time, we'll all be taking pictures that we then put on our computers to ________ or to send around the world by e-mail. The cameras will get better and cheaper, and the world of photography will never be the same again!

Is your album full of boring _______? Taking good photographs is a lot easier than you might think. The secret is to find new ways of looking at an ordinary _______. If you're taking a picture of a building, what happens if you look up? Or perhaps the back of the building is more interesting than the front. Photography is about surprises and discovering new points of view.

Before buying a camera, it's important to decide what you're going to use it for. Do you want to take quick photos of your friends and family? In that case, you should go for a cheap camera that you can keep in your bag or pocket, always ready. Do you want to take ________ pictures? If so, you will probably want to spend a bit more on a more expensive professional camera. A little thought now can help you choose wisely.

Many people hope to simply pick up a camera, ______ it and produce great pictures. Photography is a lot easier than it used to be, but it's still easy to get it wrong. Remember that you should have the sun behind you. Too many people take photographs ________ the sun and then are surprised when there's too much light! Another thing to avoid is taking pictures of something far away in the dark. Your _______ won't help at a distance.

When the Englishman William Henry Fox Talbot first pointed his camera at a window in his home, Lacock Abbey, in 1835, he helped to start a revolution. This was the moment he created the first photograph on paper. His ideas, together with those of other pioneers, including the Frenchmen Daguerre and Niepce, changed things forever. Today's world of ________ images had its beginnings in their experiments.

4) Complete with an appropriate word from the box.

Rules introduced created invented sets board home-made

The two-player game chess is one of the most popular ________ games in the world. It is also one of the oldest, although there is uncertainty regarding where and when chess originated. Several countries claim to have ________ the game.

One possibility is that chess was invented in India about 1,500 years ago. Another theory, however, says that the Chinese were playing a form of chess over 800 years before that. We shall probably never know for sure, but we do know where the word 'chess' comes from. It comes from the Persian word shah, which means 'king'.

The _______ for chess have changed several times during the centuries. Many of the modern rules were ________ in the 15^th century, and minor changes to the game were also made in the 19^th century. An international organisation called FIDE (Federation Internationale des Echecs) is now responsible for making any further changes to the rules.

The enormously successful board game Monopoly has an interesting history. Although many people believe that Charles Darrow ________ the game, it is now known that he did not. In the 1920s, there were a number of ________ games in the USA called Monopoly, all very similar to the game we play today. Charles Darrow played one of these games, enjoyed it, and decided to make his own version. He, his wife and his son made the _______ by hand and he began to sell them. The game's popularity grew and, in 1935, Darrow sold the game to the American company Parker Brothers. The UK version of the game, with London street names, was produced by Waddington Games in 1936. In a short space of time, there were versions for cities and countries all round the world. It has been estimated that since 1935 more than 500 million people have played Monopoly.

5) Complete choosing the best answer.

Even if you live in the heart of the city, there's no reason why you shouldn't 1________ up gardening. We can't all afford a large garden, but we can all create a space where we can follow the seasons. Whether it's a window box, a balcony or a tiny yard, anyone can have the pleasure of looking 2 ________ plants.

A window box is a small box of plants that literally sits outside your window. Here, the choice of plants is what counts. You want a splash of colour all year 3 ________ , so choose flowers that bloom at different times of the year. Daffodils, for example, are beautiful spring flowers and will soon have you looking forward to summer. Their bright colours will also attract butterflies, bringing a touch of life. If you've got a balcony, you've got a little more freedom. In this case, the key is to 4 __________ maximum use of the space you've got available. Put taller plants against the walls of the house, with shorter plants and flowers along the 5 __________ of the balcony.

You can also add a water feature; a small fountain creates interest and can have a cooling effect on a hot summer's day. If your neighbours' balcony is next to yours, why not use a fast-growing plant like wisteria to form a natural barrier, giving you more privacy?

Those of you who are lucky enough to have a small yard can really go to town. Think about how you're going to use it. Do you want to be able to sit and enjoy the sun? Or do you want to be 6 __________ to entertain friends and have a barbecue? Divide the yard into separate areas and plan each one carefully. Garden furniture is very important. A table that folds in half can give you a lot of flexibility, and chairs that fold away also allow you to change your garden to 7 ___________ your mood. As 8 __________ as plants are concerned, choose varieties that don't mind a bit of shade, unless your yard gets a lot of sun. Yards often have walls that keep the sun out for long periods and you don't want your careful plans spoiled because a few of your plants start to die.
