14．Crazy about Selfies
Since the 2014 Oscars ceremony selfie （自拍） of Bradley Cooper stormed the Internet，it seems that every one shows great interest．And now people are sharing even their most private moments．TV star Kim Kardashian could be called"the queen of the selfie"．She's turned hundreds of her selfies into a book-at every possible moment，in all poses．
If Kardashian is the queen，then you could say Barack Obama is the king．But though Kardashian has nothing to lose by sharing too much，the same can't be said of the US president．Politicians have to be careful with selfies．The photo he took at the funeral （葬禮） of Nelson Mandela divided public opinions．Some felt it made him look like one of us-glad to record a moment with his"mates"．Others felt the head of state behaved like a crazy teenager．
Unfortunately for the US congressman （國會議員） Anthony Weiner，his habit of sending his private selfies to women killed his political career （事業(yè)）．
Being crazy about selfies can also harm your health．Todd Fassler from California ended up in hospital after he found a snake-he tried to take a selfie with it．The animal wasn't interested in the idea and bit him．
Why do we take so many selfies？Dr．Terri Apter，from Cambridge University，told the Daily Telegraph："We all like the idea of being in control of our image and getting attention，being part of the culture．There's celebrity （名人） culture-unless you're being noticed，you're nobody．You have to get enough attention and show your life is amazing，even if it isn't．"
The word selfie was Oxford Dictionaries'word of the year in 2013．But many believe it started much earlier in 1839 as Robert Cornelius，a chemist from Philadelphia，uncovered the lens （鏡頭），ran into the shot for a minute before running back to cover the lens again．These days，you don't need to run for a photo anymore and soon，you don't even have to spread your arms．Now you are even able to take a selfie by drone （無人機(jī)）!Fix your camera onto it，and it will follow your every move．Does it sound exciting to you？
61．What could Kim Kardashian be called？
She could be called"the queen of the selfie"．
62．Do politicians have to be very careful with selfies？
Yes，they do．
63．What happened when Todd Fassler tried to take a selfie with a snake？
The animal wasn't interested in the idea and bit him．
64．According to the passage，why do the celebrities take selfies？
To get enough attention and show your life is amazing．
65．Do you think the selfie is good？Why？
Yes，because it is interesting．．

分析 本文講述的是自拍，許多人喜歡自拍，明星金•卡戴珊可以被稱為"自拍女王"．但政治家必須小心自拍，自拍時候還要注意安全，Todd Fassler 試圖和蛇自拍時，蛇突然咬了他．現(xiàn)在的自拍可以用無人機(jī)!

解答 61．She could be called"the queen of the selfie"．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)TV star Kim Kardashian could be called"the queen of the selfie可知明星金•卡戴珊被稱為"自拍女王"，故答案為：She could be called"the queen of the selfie"．
62．Yes，they do．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Politicians have to be careful with selfies可知政治家必須小心自拍，故答案為：Yes，they do．
63．The animal wasn't interested in the idea and bit him細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Todd Fassler from California ended up in hospital after he found a snake-he tried to take a selfie with it．The animal wasn't interested in the idea and bit him可知當(dāng)Todd Fassler 試圖和蛇自拍時，蛇突然咬了他，故答案為：The animal wasn't interested in the idea and bit him．
64．To get enough attention and show your life is amazing．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)There's celebrity （名人） culture-unless you're being noticed，you're nobody．You have to get enough attention and show your life is amazing，even if it isn't．可知名人自拍是為了得到足夠的關(guān)注，并顯示你的生活是不可思議的，故答案為：To get enough attention and show your life is amazing．
65．Yes，because it is interesting．理解推斷題．本題可以根據(jù)自己的情況回答是否喜歡自拍，答案不唯一，合理即可，故答案為：Yes，because it is interesting．．

點(diǎn)評 做題時首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結(jié)合具體的題目，找出相關(guān)信息，就可以確定正確答案．

6．Read what Claire did and answer the questions
My stay in the rainforest
Last year，I left my job and went to Borneo to work without pay in the rainforest．So many people have said to me，'I would love to do something like that，'and I say，'If you want to，just do it．'They always reply，'l can't．'But，if you really want to do it，there are ways to make it happen．
After three day's training，I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people．The accommodation was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep．This consisted of a simple  bed，a cloth roof and a net to keep insects （昆蟲） out．
It was never dangerous there，but it was very challenging （挑戰(zhàn)的）．There were things that we didn't  think we would manage to do，but we did．I had some of my worst moments there，but also some of my best-it made me feel alive．I didn't miss my home comforts as much as I'd thought I might．We had food，water，somewhere to stay，about three sets of clothes and really good conversation．We were in the most  beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy．We didn't need any more．
One of the teenagers said，'Before we came here，it was really important to me what clothes I wore  and who my friends were．I was always thinking about shoes，but really none of that matters．Here，people  accept me for who I am，what I believe and think，not for what kind of clothes I've got．'When she said that，it summed it up for me．

88．Did Claire get any money from the work in Borneo？No，she didn't．
89．What did Claire do before she started work on an environmental project？She received a three-day training．/She had some training．
90．How was Claire's'bedroom'in the rainforest？It consisted of a simple bed，a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out．/It was simple，with a simple bed，a cloth roof and a net．
91．What did the teenager care about before she came to Borneo？She cared about what she wore and what her friends were．/She cared about her clothes and how others think of her．
92．How did Claire feel about the experience of living in the rainforest？The experience had changed her attitude．
93．What do you think might be the worst moments Claire had during her stay in the rainforest？She might miss her parents and home comforts．There was plenty to do and
sometimes she felt very tired．She might suffer the insect bites．（Any
reasonable answers are acceptable．）．
