21、“Selfie” (自拍) joins ranks of dictionary words.
In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk, tripped on some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends on an online forum. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie.” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to linguistic experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self-portraits and the resulting shares on social media.
So what does the choice of the word say about our culture? Mary Elizabeth Williams, writing in Salon magazine, says the word reminds us that contemporary culture is defined by our narcissism(自恋).Megan Jackson from a local newspaper points out a selfie may only focus on appearance.
Selfies invite judgment based on appearance alone. What kind of cultural influence does this have on women? Erin Gloria Ryan on Jezebel says selfies teach young woman to obsess over their appearance and judge themselves on the basis of beauty rather than accomplishments. “They’re a reflection of the warped way we teach girls to see themselves as decorative,” said Ryan.
In Slate magazine, Rachel Simmons has the opposite view. She argues that selfies are an example of young women promoting themselves and taking control of their own self-presentation. Think of each one, she says, as “a tiny pulse of girl pride —a shout-out to the self”.
【1】Which of the following is true about the first use of “selfie”?
A. The Australian man created it to celebrate his friend’s 21st birthday.
B. The Australian man created by chance when he got drunk and shared his photo online.
C. The Oxford Dictionary used it to thank the creation of smart phone.
D. The social media were so advanced that they made the word transmitted.
【2】The underlined word “tripped” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. traveled B. stepped lightly
C. fell down D. made mistakes
【3】Who holds a positive opinion towards selfie in the life of women?
A. Mary Elizabeth. B. Megan Jackson.
C. Erin Gloria Ryan. D. Rachel Simmons.
【4】The text is mainly concerned with ________.
A. the introduction of the word “selfie”
B. the choice of the word “selfie”
C. the history of the word “selfie”
D. the characteristics of the word “selfie”
22、 I went out to breakfast this morning to meet a friend. Everything was lovely. But what wasn’t so lovely was the lady who took our order. She spoke in a way that was frustrated, unhappy, certainly not friendly, and sort of rude.
When it came to my turn to approach her and order. I thought to myself, “What can I do here to make her day?” Surely there must be something I can sincerely compliment(称赞)her on. Then there it was and I knew instantly. Or more so heard instantly. It was her voice. She had the most unbelievably well-spoken and clear voice. It was so good. That was it. That was what I would compliment her on.
So after she took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude I told her. “I hope you don’t mind me saying but you have the most amazing voice. It’s so clear, well-spoken and sounds so professional.” I told her how she honestly had one of those voices that would be perfect for announcements or even radio. Her whole face lit up. She smiled (the first time I had seen her do so) and as I left and walked away, I noticed her whole attitude change. The customer behind me received a totally different kind of service. A happier one. All because of what I did. Something so simple!
There was a time when this sort of thing would have embarrassed the hell out of me. Or I’d have been way too shy and awkward to say such a thing. Not now. Now I must! Why? Because I have the power. The power to completely change someone’s day by something as simple as a few kind words and being kind. And you have this power too. We all do.
【1】What made the author uncomfortable this morning?

A.She felt annoyed and walked away.
B.She changed her attitude towards customers.
C.She applied for a radio announcer.
D.She paid no attention to the words.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.An Unkind Lady. B.The Amazing Voice.
C.A Great Change in My Day. D.The Power of Kindness.
23、My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict(冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging (刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn't want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn't go on like this.” “It's up to him," said my father. "He can make up his own mind."
【1】The house the writer's family lived in was ________.

【3】The writer's father enjoyed being different as long as ________.
A. it drew attention to him
B. it didn't bring him in arguments
C. it was understood as a joke
D. there was no danger of his showing off
【4】What was the writer's reaction to the idea of going to Eton?
A. He was very unhappy.
B. He didn't believe it.
C. He was delighted.
D. He had mixed feelings.
