This year the selfie earned its place as the Oxford English Dictionary’s 2013 Word Of The Year. It has taken over our culture --- and our smartphones. The rise of the selfie has become universal–between presidents, celebrities(名人) and citizens alike–and the trend is only continuing to grow.

A recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 54 percent of Internet users have posted original photos online. And of those hundreds of millions of photos, many are of selfie photos.

For example, currently there are nearly 62 million posted selfie photos on Instagram, the social media tool that has significantly contributed to the personal photo’s popularity. That figure, which continues to rise every day, doesn’t even begin to include the selfies shared on Facebook and Twitter.

What makes the selfie so attractive -- and why do we feel it a must to take one? According to Dr. Pamela Rutledge, psychologist and director of the Media Psychology Research Center, the desire to take, post and get “l(fā)ikes” on selfies goes back to a biological behavior of all humans.

“I think it influences our sense of social connection in the same way as it does when you go to a party and people say ‘Oh I love your dress,’” Rutledge told The Huffington Post. “Biological, social recognition is a real need and there is even an area of the brain that contributes to social activity.”

There is a way to adapt to the growing selfie culture. Whether you’re a selfie novice or an advanced poster, there are always things to be mindful of when you’re posting, Rutledge advises.

She offered two main principles to follow when it comes to posting on social media:

1. The Grandmother Rule

“Don’t post anything online, whether text or visual, that you don’t want grandmother or future employer to see,” Rutledge said. “Selfies especially.”

2. The Elevator Rule

“You wouldn’t say something in an elevator that you or no one else wants to hear -- the whole world of social media is an elevator,” Rutledge said. “Be aware of the breadth (寬度) of platform. It’s easy to think you’re sharing a photo with a few people, but Instagram is public and people can come across things.”

1.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. The selfie is taking the lead.

B. Many people are fond of smartphones.

C. The selfie will take over everything.

D. The selfie is an important new word.

2. According to the passage, people like “selfie” so much, because they ___________.

A. want to show off their new dresses

B. need to be acknowledged in social life

C. desire to share good things

D. mean to amuse the public

3. The underlined word “novice” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.

A. greenhandB. publisher C. novelistD. celebrity

4.When it comes to posting on social media, Rutledge advises people to ______.

A. share photos only on Instagram

B. talk about your photos in an elevator

C. be cautious in posting things online

D. follow rules set by your grandmothers

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month．

The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．

"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing （扭動(dòng)） about in the water," police said．"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．

Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．

Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．

Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said．

Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．

Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters．

1.The report mainly tells us _______．

A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise

B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month

C．a(chǎn) boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach

D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches

2.The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______．

A．a(chǎn)ttracted B．dragged

C．bit D．packed

3.What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?

A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia．

B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House．

C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round．

D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches．

4.All the followings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______．

A．environmental protection has created a cleaner environment

B．a(chǎn) ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers

C．many shark species are protected in Australia waters

D．the film Jaws made the Great White famous

Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亞的) teenager about her wedding day. The 16?year?old had already been married for a year. “She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, ‘I had to drop out of school’，” Robinson said in a telephone interview. “That conveyed to me the reality，” said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland's president and former U．N. high commissioner for human fights. “Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended.”

Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon. “European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion，” she said. “Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge.”

Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub?Saharan Africa. In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia's 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa's population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.

Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth?rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility (生育力), improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind?set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child's life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.

1.In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ________.

A．explaining the author's opinions

B．giving an example

C．describing the poor education system

D．coming straight to the topic

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A．Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.

B．Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.

C．Robinson is worried about population growth.

D．Robinson encourages female education.

3.What is Joel Cohen's view about secondary education?

A．It provides basic knowledge of health.

B．It improves the health of children.

C．It makes people pay more attention to education.

D．It can change people's parenting ideas.

4.According to Robinson, what is one of the most important things policymakers can do to prevent the population from increasing rapidly?

A．Keeping girls in school.

B．Letting girls go away from Africa.

C．Letting young girls remain single.

D．Keeping girls in families.
