HealthBNow, almost everybody knows the hottest English word “selfie”. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford (牛津) online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to Wechat or Qzone.“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone,” said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. “She has used many selfies to tell us about her life and work,” said Li.What makes people love selfies? Some people say its narcissism (自恋). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. Were crying out: Look at me!” said US psychiatrist (精神科医生) Carole Lieberman.Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Guardian. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others,” wrote Freedland.Huang Xu agrees with that. “During the summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each others holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.49.

Paragraph 6COn a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old river behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming toward him. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became frightened and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile bit his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war between the two. The crocodile was much stronger that the mother, but the mother was much too eager (急切的) to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, ran from his truck, and shot (射击) the crocodile. After several weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were badly scarred (留下疤痕) by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches (抓伤) where his mothers fingernails dug deep into his skin in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. A newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, proudly, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldnt let go.” Never judge another persons scars, because you dont know how they were made.52.

In fact, we are maybe 13 or 14 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.Most parents think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, expensive school things, and often a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything that they can for their dear children. In return, they only want their children to work hard and do well in the examinations.But why the children still cant understand them? Does it mean that we still want more material things? No. As a matter of fact, what we want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the cold world outside. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.So I think that parents should sit down to talk with their children to let them know that they have a true family, so the children and their parents can understand each other more and more. Then, no children will be regarded as little ones.QuestionsAnswersWhat are we always like in our 1 eyes?We are always little children and always make 2 .What do our parents expect us to do when they give us so much?They only want us to work hard and get good 3 in the examinations.What do we children really want?We want a true family.
