Dear World:

My son starts school today. It's going to be strange and new to him for a while. And I wish you would sort of treat him gently.

You see, up to now, he's been king of the house. He's been boss of the backyard. I have always been around to repair his wounds, and to ease his feelings.

But now things are going to be different.

This morning, he's going to walk down the front steps, wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.

So, World, I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know. Teach him but gently, if you can. Teach him the wonders of books. Give him quiet time to ponder(思考) the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill. Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone else tells him they are wrong. Teach him to sell his physical strength and brains to the person who offers the most money, but never to put a price on his heart and soul. Teach him to close his ears to a criminal gang (团伙) ...and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right. Teach him gently, World, but don't coddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.

"A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."This is the definition（定义）of the word "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn't even in the dictionary until August,2013.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed（着迷）with selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But does this obsession actually make sense?Is there any scientific explanation for it?Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them—we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures.In most cases,they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror,according to BBC.

To further test how we actually sense our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions（版本）of their own image—the original which had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive—and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.

But what does it say about selfies?Well,isn't that obvious?Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters（滤镜）and so on—that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual（非虚拟的）interactions,"Kilner told the Canada-based CTA News.Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with", he explained.

1.According to Kilner's studies,it can be learned that we .

A. know about our own faces well

B. It meets their needs to know their own faces better.

C. It makes them possible to reach their expectation.

D. It offers them a way to control the virtual world.
