III TESTED EXERCISE
PASSAGE 3
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business 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
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837 That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio He used a new kind of camera and a different process In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details This kind of photograph was
called a daguerreotype.
Trang 29Soon, 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 had to carry lots of film and moving things The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and
processing equipment However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States
After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer He took many portraits of famous
people The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality Brady was also
the first person to take pictures of a 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 film made in rolls, instead of having 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 They did not have to
ready-carry lots of equipment And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art They thought that photography could
do more than show the real world It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms
From “Reading Power” by Beatrice S Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries

PASSAGE 5
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of
Radiation Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when atoms or
molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention Stimulated
emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has
been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917 However, for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would
be much weaker It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers
The first to succeed was Charles Townes, then at Colombia University in New York Instead
of working with light, however, he worked with microwaves, which have a much longer
wavelength, and built a device he called a "maser" for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation Although he thought of the key idea in 1951, the first maser was not
completed until a couple of years later Before long, many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated emission at even shorter wavelength
The key concepts emerged about 1957 Townes and Arthur Schawlow, then at Bell Telephone Laboratories, wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of
visible light waves At about the same time, similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould, then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia, who wrote them down in a series of notebooks Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal, Physical Review Letter, but Gould filed a patent application Three decades later, people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser
1 The word 'coin' in line 1 could be replaced by …………
2 The word 'intervention' in line 3 can best be replaced by …………

4 Which of the following statements best describes a laser?
A A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light
B An atom in a high-energy state
C A technique for destroying atoms or molecules
D An instrument for measuring light waves
5 Why was Towne's early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves?
A He was not concerned with light amplification
B It was easier to work with longer wavelengths
C His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser
D The laser had already been developed
6 In his research at Columbia University, Charles Townes worked with all of the following
