“Selfie” may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent， said Oxford dictionaries. However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.
According to the Oxford online dictionary, selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself， often from a smart phone， and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures， sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips（噘嘴）.
Let’s think about it. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do， and they only end up posting one or two of those. They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t that beautiful？ In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect. But perhaps， with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need. We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content. For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.
A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog. How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”？
The poem hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life. And I still do. And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence. However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves. Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”
1.According to the writer, we live in a society where ________.
A. selfie leads to success
B. a good image decides one’s status
C. one’s poor performance can be erased
D. being perfect is highly valued
2.The spoken-word poem mentioned in the 4th paragraph implies ________.
A. our pleasure to enjoy beauty
B. our need to love people around us
C. our tendency to ignore ourselves
D. our real love to share with others
3.What does the underlined word “credit” in the last paragraph mean?
A. praise B. grade C. trust D. fame
4.In the writer’s opinion, selfie ________.
A. brings about people’s sense of confidence
B. is merely popular among teenagers
C. tells the true meaning of life
D. is an annoying phenomenon on the Internet

A strange army of giants stands around the edges of a remote island in the Pacific Ocean. Or at least that's how it might appear. The figures lining Easter Island are actually huge stones carved to look like hulking(笨重的) human figures. The statues have “guarded” these coasts for centuries. But not even the islanders are sure how they got there. Join scientific detectives as they investigate this historical mystery.
The Mystery
Nearly a thousand giant stone figures stand side by side on Easter Island, now a part of Chile. Called moai (MOH-eye) by the locals, the statues can weigh more than 80 tons—about as much as ten whales—and some stand as tall as a three-story building.
Scientists think islanders began creating the moai some 800 years ago to honor their ancestors. In land, scientists found a volcanic crater and dug out ancient tools there used to carve figures from the volcanic rock. But the crater(火山口) is far from where most of the statues now stand. And scientists know the people didn't have wheels or animals to move the rock giants.
So how did the stone figures travel as far as 11 miles from the crater to the island's coasts? Some ideas are pretty wild—people have suggested that the moai walked by themselves, or even that space aliens beamed down to lend a hand. Scientists struggled to Easter Island to find out the truth.
The Detectives
"Heave-ho!" cry a group of scientists as they pull on ropes tied to a huge statue. The investigators are seeking clues about the moai in one of Easter Island's green valleys. Wondering if the islanders could have transported the statues upright with just rope and muscle power, they wrapped three strong ropes around the forehead of a ten-foot-tall moai copy. With several people pulling each rope, they're able to rock the 10,000-pound figure side to side, moving it forward with every tug(拖拽). "The statue's shape makes this movement fairly easy," team leader Carl Lipo says.
In the past, researchers have tried other moving methods. One group tied rope to the top and base of an actual moai and attempted to drag it forward with twisting motions. Another team laid a real 13-foot moai onto a giant log and pulled the log forward. All the experiments shared one result: The investigators got serious pain!
The Evidence
Although various scientific sleuths (侦查) found ways to move the moai, researchers still don't agree on what really happened. Some of these techniques might have only worked over short distances and on flat land. Others would have damaged the moai.
Many people think the statues were laid horizontally on wooden sleds which were dragged with rope across log tracks. "This would have been the safest way to move the moai," archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg says. "It explains why hardly any are damaged."
But the truth may never be revealed.(Experts are pretty sure, though, that aliens weren't involved.)After all, the islanders stopped making the statues at least 300 years ago, later hundreds of islanders left the island or caught deadly diseases brought by explorers. Many of the moai's secrets disappeared with them. Today the only remaining witnesses to the events are the moai themselves. And the lips of these stone-faced giants are sealed.
1.How many possible ways of moving the rock giants are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.
2.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The moai was created by the islanders 800 years ago to wish for good luck.
B.Some of the rock giants were damaged while being moved to where they are now.
C.All the witnesses to the secrets of the moai were infected with deadly diseases and died.
D.The statues were made of volcanic rocks with some handmade tools by the locals.
3.The underlined word "horizontally" in the last but one paragraph probably means ________.
A. temporarily on the ground
B. parallel to the ground
C. steadily on the ground
D. vertical to the ground
4.What is the best title of this passage?
A.Investigation Under Way.
B.Mystery of the Stone Giants.
C.Ways of Moving the Stone Giants.
D.The Unrevealed Truth.

On Saturday 17 September 2016, you may catch sight of hundreds of apes(猩猩) running around the streets of London. They’ll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, you’ll probably think. But in fact, when the starter’s pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla costumes through the capital’s streets, passing such iconic landmarks as The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.
Unusual charity events such as these are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you’re looking to really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you’ve been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10 to 12-mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage. It’s more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised £5 million.
But fundraising doesn’t have to involve physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber’s song ‘Baby’ over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this. Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in.
If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay £60 to register. This includes the gorilla suit, which you can keep. If you take part, not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat, you’ll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!
1.What is the Great Gorilla Run held for?
A. To film a new Planet of the Apes
B. To collect money for Central Africa
C. To make a study of the origin of man
D. To enjoy famous senic spots in London
2.What can we learn about the Tough Mudder?
A. It is disgusting B. It is unique
C. It is competitive D. It is challenging
3.What does the phrase “chipped in” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Joined in singing
B. Made a contribution
C. Scolded the organizers
D. Interrupted the activity
4.Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Going Crazy for Charity!
B. Protecting Our Rare Animals!

Kindness and kids just seem to go hand in hand. But 62% of more than 2,600 participants in the NBC News State of Kindness Poll believe that today’s kids are less kind than those in the past. Women(66%) feel about this kindness fall more strongly than men(58%). Most of the participants who feel that way(77%) thank parents caused the seeming lack of kindness among today’s children, with a few thinking that society, schools, or friends caused it.
At the same time, Americans say they don’t put kindness first when it comes to teaching kids values. Among all participants, honesty is taught more than kindness as well as other things like courage, leadership and storing work ethic(道德). But the younger generation—those aged 18-24—think highly of kindness rules. They choose kindness by 10% over honesty as the most important quality to teach kids.
The question of whether kindness is learned or taught—or somewhere in between —causes different opinions. According to the study, Americans have different opinions on whether kindness in something one is born with or needs to be learned and nurtured over time. Slightly more than half(52%) of the participants believe that all of us are born with the ability to show kindness, while 48% believe kindness must be developed.
Parenthood(父母身份) makes a difference to your thoughts on the causes of kindness. Those without kids(56%) are more likely to think that people are born to be kind, while 50% of the participants with kids think kindness is developed.
Also, 51% of dads and 54% of men with no kids believe kindness is something time is born with. Slightly more than half of the moms say kindness must be learned, while 48% believe it is what one is born with.
