提示：

解題點撥 　　1．通常情況下，一個人一次只能使用一架相機(jī)；本空是緊接著文章的第一句而言的，故用it較為合適一些． 　　2．起初的相機(jī)是由很多部件組合而成，很笨重，需要人扛，故用carry. 　　3．隨著相機(jī)制作水平的不斷改進(jìn)，照相的方式也必然發(fā)生相應(yīng)的變化，way含有方式方法之意． 　　4．后文中明確提到當(dāng)他父親去世時他還很年輕，故本題選young的最高級較為妥當(dāng)． 　　5．從前文可知他家至少是由5人組合而成，故用family. 　　6．take photos意為照相． 　　7．enjoy意為分享，此詞能夠準(zhǔn)確地描繪出照相器材的改進(jìn)將人們從背包的煩惱中解放出來，從而使人們能夠更好地享受照相給他們自身帶來的歡快之情． 　　8．前文中已說明要使照相這件事情簡單化，這就需要改進(jìn)照相器材．develop意為改進(jìn)、改善． 　　9．照相器材被改進(jìn)后，照相就變得簡單了，購買照相器材的人就自然多了，從而使得Kodak很快就發(fā)展壯大起來，正如文后所說． 　　10．綜觀全文，Kodak公司取得了驚人的成就，可以說是經(jīng)營得非常成功的，success意為成功，正好與文意相符合．
