26、 English is now the first language of about 400 million people, the mother language of 12 countries and the official language of thirty-three more countries. That means one in every seven people in the world speaks English.

27、 Nowadays, everybody is taking selfies (自拍照). From your best friend to your favorite pop star, selfies are taking over Renren and Sina Weibo. The word “selfie” was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. But why do people feel the need to take them? And are they doing us more harm than good?
According to Dr Pamela Rutledge, psychologist (心理学家) and director or the Media Psychology Research Center in the US, posting a selfie online shows a biological need for self-validation (自我验证).
Humans have an area in their brain that controls social activity. Receiving positive feedback on a selfie you have posted online can be the same as someone stopping you in the street and complimenting(称赞) you on your appearance.
The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. You are the director and the subject of your own work of art. It helps people feel in control of their self-image and can be a powerful tool.
But can it go too far?
Psychologists warn that too much time spent on selfies can affect people's confidence, particularly in teenagers. If you are spending a lot of time choosing the perfect selfie outfit (着装) or finding the right angle, then there could be a problem.
Likewise (同样地), posting selfies online can harm your personal relationships. UK studies found that many people find it hard to relate to (与…联系) people who are often posting selfies online.
So next time you grab your smartphone to take a quick selfie, it may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket.
【1】What does Rutledge think of posting selfies online?
A.It helps people get to know each other. B.It helps people take better pictures.

A.affect people's confidence B.give away people's personal information
C.cause people to spend less time with their friends D.cause people to spend more on smartphones

A.反馈 B.返回 C.供养 D.违约
【5】Who may be interested in taking selfies?
