2015考研英语通过阅读识单词：Timeless Photographs

　　I dig down to the bottom of the box and see two large photographs. One is dated 1900 and the other one is dated 1997a recent picture that looks similar to the older one. The older picture looks familiar because it is taken in the same placethe summer home.

　　I will describe the older photograph as very interesting in the style of dress and exactly where the people are sitting. They are posed outside the cottage by a small tree that is still there today. A woman is sitting in a rocking chair, with here black hair pulled up in a bun.She is not smiling but looking away from the camera and wearing a long black dress. Another woman is wearing a white blouse with a necktieand a long black skirt. Her hair is also long and blonderbut pulled back in a bun. There are two men on either side of a wooden table. Both men appear older and are dressed in hats and suits and ties, trousers and Sunday shoes. Neither is smiling. They probably are hungry for their roast beef and potatoes, but that is just my guess. There is a young boy, probably about 13 in the photograph. He is wearing a white blouse, black shorts, long black socks and tan sports shoes. He is petting a black dog that is sitting on top of the round wooden table. The boy is bending down and he isnt smiling either. It must have been hot outside and he probably wants to go for a swim with the dog. The water is just below them and he is probably wondering why he has to take this stupid picture all dressed up on a Sunday.
