What is the hottest English word of 2013? It’s “selfie”, according to
Oxford dictionaries. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according
to the Oxford online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart
phone(智能手机) and send them to a social media website.
The word was first used in 2002. In the past 12 months, its frequency (出现频率) in the English language has increased by 17,000 percent, said Oxford dictionaries. Now, almost everybody knows it.
“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone (QQ空间),” 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 what’s going on in her personal life,” said Li.
What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自恋). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic cultur e. We’re 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 hu man need to connect with others,” wrote Freedland.
Huang Xu agrees with that. “During 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 other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.
41. According to the story, a “selfie” is _______.

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm(蚂蚁
窝). First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box.Then we waited for the ants to
arrive.
After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.
On the fifth day something terrible happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although（虽然）the ants kept alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was frightened as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner （角落）of the farm.
My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand(忍受) that their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.
Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired (钦佩) for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.
Giving up is not a good choice.
46. What did the writer's family do for him when he was seven?
A. They built a farm of ants.
B. They bought a few ants.
C. They caught a lot of ants.
D. They found an ant city.

A. Giving up isn't a good way when we meet trouble.
B. Like people, teamwork is very important for the ants.
C. The ants didn't die one by one after the tunnels were destroyed.
D. The writer knocked the glass box over because he put his face so close to the glass farm.
48. What did the writer come to realize a few years later?
A. Working together is useless.
B. Teamwork is important.
C. He can't accept adversity.
D. Working alone is amazing.
49.Among the following events, which one happened first?
A. All the tunnels fell down.
B. The ants died one by one.
C. The ants got into the glass box.
D. The ants began making tunnels.
50. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Ants Fear Adversity
B. My Family and Ants
C. Giving Up in Adversity
D. Don't give up anytime

Treat a Queen
Y our house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family, though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off and you can do the housework.
Because of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, she doesn't look good any more. Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look beautiful!
Have Some of Y our Time
Our mothers have special memories in mind. It is the time that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Have you ever had a good time with your mother not talking about your problems? Have you ever told her how much you thank her for the life she gave to you, the time she cared for you? Maybe you can tell her how happy you are when she was there looking after you during your painful days in your life.
Tell the magic words
Life is short. W e don't know what will happen tomorrow. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?

Before I was twelve years old, my family lived in the mountains. Our house was far from my school. It took me one hour to walk to school every morning. It was a happy time for me, because I could meet my friends on the way, and we would go to school together. There were just six classes in my school, and only about twenty students in each class. We spend most of our time playing. The mountains were our playground. I still remember the different kinds of flowers, the songs of different birds, and the colours of trees in different seasons—everything was so interesting and beautiful. Even now I still miss my life in the mountains.
