that we take them for granted, they are relative recent inventions. 【1】______
From the time of the Renaissance, many artists had used the
CAMERA OBSCURA draw forms and linear perspective accurately. 【2】______
A camera obscura was a dark room or box With light entering in a 【3】______
tiny hole, perhaps focused on by a lens. An inverted image from the 【4】______
world beyond would be thrown on the opposite wall or side, and its
outlines could be traced on paper. But it was until the first half of【5】______
the nineteenth century that several researchers working independent 【6】______
of each other found ways to capture this image permanently.
Late in the nineteenth century, sequences of still pictures began【7】______
to lead to “movies.” In the mid-twentieth century, the technology 【8】______
of capturing moving images from the world had evolved wireless 【9】______
television broadcasts. And now computer video graphics have opened
up vast new range of possibilities that may or may not originate in 【10】______
the world that we see.

听力原文: Stress is a very normal part of life. Most people feel stress at some time in their lives. It doesn't come from an event itself, that is, from the things that are happening in our lives. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. We can experience stress any time we feel we don't have control. It can come from a feeling that we can do anything about a situation.
Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise and whether we can relax. If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. First, we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly and smoothly.
We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule to notice the small things in life. Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree -- these activities can do much to quiet us and to give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule.
We need to take care of our bodies. Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick and to develop physical problems related to stress. We need to get enough rest, eat well, and do some regular exercise.
Finally, we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we need to begin to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives.

The restrictive laws that the courts are interpreting are mainly a legacy of the bank failures of the 1930s. The current high rate -- higher than at any time since the Great Depression -- has made legislators afraid to remove the restrictions. While legislative timidity is understandable, it is also mistaken. One reason so many American banks are getting into trouble is precisely that the old restrictions make it hard for them to build a domestic base large and strong enough to support their activities in today's telecommunicating round-the-clock, around-the-world financial markets. In trying to escape from these restrictions, banks are taking enormous, and what should be unnecessary, risks. For example, would a large bank be buying small, failed savings banks at inflated prices if federal law and states' regulations permitted that bank to expand through the acquisition of financially healthy banks in the region7 Of course not. The solution is clear American banks will be sounder when they are not geographically limited. The House of Representative's banking committee has shown part of the way forward by recommending common-sensible, though limited, legislation for a five-year transition to nationwide banking. This would give regional banks time to group together to form. counterweights to the big money-center banks. Without this breathing space the big money-legislation should be regarded as only a way station on the road towards a complete examination of American's suitable banking legislation.
