“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) 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 is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神经系统科学家) 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, according to the BBC.

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. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait ─ the original, one that 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. They chose the more attractive version.

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 (滤色镜) 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 CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”, he explained.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.

B. A study of why people love taking selfies.

C. How taking selfies influences people’s daily lives.

D. How to interpret people’s facial expressions in their selfies.

2.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “______”.

A. interpret B. beautify C. choose D. explain

3.What did Kilner discover from his researches?

A. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.

B. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others’.

C. People interpret others’ facial expressions worse than their own.

D. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.

4.According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ______.

A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

B. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

D. it is a way to respond to others’ facial expressions correctly

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If something that you're doing doesn't challenge (向…挑战) you, then it doesn't change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 1. So challenge the following limits:

1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously．

If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 2. But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"

2. Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop.

Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while doing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. You will challenge yourself by learning something new. 3.

3. 4.

You don't need to go to the gym. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.

Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself．

4．Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people．

5. try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

We’re always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review.

Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.

Book Reviews

Discuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it? Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.

Movie Reviews

Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.

Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!

College Reviews

Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.

1.When writing a review, you ________.

A. cannot refer to any previous review

B. must express your own views and opinions

C. must provide some information about the author

D. needn’t give any examples to support your views

2.Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?

A. Strengths and weaknesses.

B. Plot and character.

C. Programs and scenes.

D. Location and description.

3.Where can you probably find the passage?

A. In a personal diary.

B. In an official report.

C. In a tourist guidebook.

D. In a popular magazine.
