In fact, the Victorians had a sense of humour even about the darkest aspects of their society. …..So the severity of people in 19th-century photographs cannot be the evidence of generalized sadness. This was not a society in permanent desperation. Instead, the true answer has to do with attitudes to portraiture itself.People who sat for early photographs understood it as a significant moment. …三.翻译句子*假设你是红星中学高二学生李华，请给你的外教Mr. Black写一封邮件，邀请他参加你们年级举行的英语读书会（reading circle）活动.邮件的内容包括：1．介绍读书活动的相关信息（例如：时间、地点、活动内容等）；2．说明你发出邀请的原因；3．询问对方的意向。
