Questão 2

If you’ve ever looked at an old photo, perhaps you ____________ that nobody ever seems to be smiling $\in$ them.
Did you ever wonder why that is?
Times were hard back $\in$ the day and there wasn’t much to smile about.
Money was tight, the world was a blackened and polluted mess and stood on the brink of global conflict.
OK, so maybe it wasn’t that different to now after all, but that _______________ today’s modern photo subjects from baring their
teeth $\in a$ grin regardless.
First off, people were scared of photographs. It was a new technology that people ________ really ___________, and probably could have seemed a bit like a trip to the dentist.
Furthermore, beauty standards were different back then. Having a small mouth was actually a desirable thing – which brings us onto another problem – dental hygiene wasn’t quite what it is today.
Another thing you’d want to avoid was looking like you had some sort of mental illness.
Having a wide smile was construed as a symptom of ‘madness’ back $\in$ the day, whereas standing still and emotionless wasn’t at all weird.
Lastly, there’s the simple operational reason that photographs just took ages to take back $\in$ the olden days.
From front to back, taking a picture on an old camera could have taken up to 15 minutes, meaning that holding the one facial position rather than your resting face would probably end up getting a bit painful and tedious after a bit.
