In 1877, George Eastman, who worked in a bank in Rochester, wanted to take

available (56) very large and heavy, and required the use of complicated equipment.
Eastman realized that many other people were keen to take photographs but were
prevented from (57) so. What was needed was a simple, hand-held camera, and so, in
(58) spare time, he began to experiment.

After a (59) deal of work he was ready to open a factory and succeeded in
producing his first camera in 1888. It was a small rectangular box and inside was a roll of special
paper. This paper was sensitive (60) light and replaced the heavy pieces of glass that
had been used before. When the roll was finished, the camera had to (61) sent back to
the factory in New York (62) the photographs to be developed and printed. The
following year a transparent film was invented and was better than the paper roll. This could be
removed by the photographer and taken to a local center for (63)

Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of Americas unusual literary
figures. An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making
them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a
teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and
accepting. He spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he
lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which
carried through his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in
one thin volume, Leaves of Grass, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other
poets, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to
achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didnt grow until
after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitmans style has greatly
influenced modern poets.

A. Leaves of Grass B. A Country Man

A. visiting the country B. being an individualist
