What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s? But exposure times were much quicker by the 1880s, and the introduction of the Box Brownie and other portable cameras meant that, though slow by today’s digital standards, the exposure was almost instantaneous. Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile. One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. “Nature gave us lips to conceal our teeth,” ran one popular Victorian maxim, alluding to the fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene. A flashing set of healthy and clean, regular “pearly whites” was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the super-rich (and even then, dental hygiene was not guaranteed).请选出本题正确答案A、Their inherent social sensitiveness.B、Their tension before the cameraC、Their distrust of new inventions.D、Their unhealthy dental condition.

Visit any antiques store and you'll encounter artifacts from the past：photographs，letters，a brochure detailing the delicate dinosaur exhibit from the 1964 — 1965 World's Fair，the ephemera （短暂现象） of history.Yet these objects aren't truly ephemeral，because they're still here，decades，even centuries later.Why？Because they're tangible. Have you pondered the life cycle of intangible formats，digital information，given that those who produce these artifacts seldom plan for their long-term preservation？For millennia，we've known what we've known due to artifacts that have survived，often despite their original creators' neglect.The thing itself is the medium that delivers the information.At the time of creation，no attempts were made at intentional preservation，yet analogous materials （实体材料） have a chance of surviving and serving as the historical record that biographers，historians，and novelists rely on.Libraries and archives have traditionally shouldered the responsibility of organization，preservation，and access to information.Thus，librarians digitize the tangible so that researchers anywhere can quickly search and access their Holdings.The result is an embarrassment of historical riches，which brings to its own needle-and-haystack problems. Librarians' selfless devotion can act against us when users point to universality of access by holding up a cellphone and saying， "It's all in here" as evidence that libraries are less vital for researchers today.Yet how was that universality of access made possible and，perhaps more importantly，how is it maintained？Who curates what is preserved？When it comes to born-digital information，the terrifying answer can be：if not librarians and archivists，then no one.Digital information requires a great deal more care than analog. Even when a digital object is preserved，it may only be the carrier that's saved，not the information itself.As technology advances and a format becomes obsolete，the object is useless.Have you ever stared helplessly at a ZIP disk，thinking：how do I get the files off this？Without constant migration of digital assets，a nightmare about the foreseeable future is what keeps historians up at night：a historical record that abruptly stops when digital replaces analog. As a librarian whose day job revolves around special collections and digital assets，I share the night terrors of historians，and I'd be lying if I said a comprehensive preservation solution currently exists.Yet researchers can take some comfort in the fact that there are a multitude of librarians devoted to discovering，organizing，and preserving digital information for researchers current and future.Librarians are uniquely positioned to understand how end users seek and use information.Thus，we play an indispensable role in identifying，preserving，and providing accessibility to digital artifacts so that，while future researchers may find the digital realm a challenging place to practice their profession，they won't find it an impossible one.（1）The author mentions the artifacts from the past to ____ .A.introduce the collection of antiquesB.contrast them with everyday itemsC.bring up the issue of ment on their historical value（2）Compared with digital objects，tangible artifacts ____ .A.are less subject to their creators' neglectB.convey information in a more direct wayC.require more intentional preservationD.are less likely to suffer serious damage（3）According to Paragraph 3，librarians' work may result in ____ .A.oversupply of materialsB.undervaluation of librariesC.researchers' underperformanceD.users' overreliance on technology（4）Which of the following statements best summarizes the text？ ____ A.Hard work should be done to preserve artifacts.B.Keeping digital historical records is a challenge.C.Accessing databases is essential to researchers.D.Contributions of librarians should be recognized.
