In fact, it wasnt even in the dictionary until August of 2013. 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 havent 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 peoples 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 betterlooking 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, isnt 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 dont have in nonvirtual (非虚拟的) interactions，” Kilner told the Canadabased CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one youre happy with”， he explained.语篇解读：本文是一篇研究报告。分析了人们喜欢自拍的原因。5The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”AinterpretBbeautifyCchoose Dexplain解析：选A词义猜测题。根据语境可知，大多数人选择的是更有魅力的照片，这表明我们都喜欢把自己想象得比实际更漂亮一些。为了进一步测试我们实际上如何“认知”自己的脸部，Kilner又进行了另一项研究，即把不同的照片进行编辑，一张忠实于本人，一张更具魅力，他们往往会选择后者。此处perceive与下文中的“thought”相照应，意为“理解，认知”。故A项正确。6What did Kilner discover from his researches?APeople interpret others facial expressions worse than their own.BPeople tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others.CPeople tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.DPeople who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“He showed people . more attractive version.”可知，人们往往认为自己的容貌要比实际上有魅力得多。故C项正确。7According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think _.Ait is a good chance to l
