Selfie

Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie. But not everyone is familiar with the term, so here’s a brief definition. 【小题1】 Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend. Some selfies are extreme close-ups, other show part of an arm held straight outward and a few of the great ones even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror so that they can get a full body shot of their reflection. 【小题2】 Since social media is the driving force of most selfie activity, younger kids interested in staying connected to their friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, etc. are more active in sharing selfies on a regular basis.

Who knows what kind of psychological factors drive any specific person to take a selfies and upload it to a social networking site. 【小题3】

Here's one. Not only are young people plugged into the web at all times, but they also have more self-esteem issues—and many of these teens or college kids might upload selfies to deal with their own self-consciousness. 【小题4】 When you feel good or look good about yourself, it's far too easy to reach for you phone and document it all through one or several selfies. Kids who are connected on a social network to someone they admire may be more driven to upload attractive selfies as a way to seek attention, especially if they're too shy to do it in person.

Besides, there are people who are bored at work, bored at school, etc. So they will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do. Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies as possible, then so be it. 【小题5】 They just do it because they like to do it, it's fun, and it’s a cool way to sort of document your own life.

A.Some people don't need a real reason to do it.
B.There's so much more meaning behind why we do it.
C.It's about getting attention from as many people as possible.
D.There are lots of selfie styles, and these are some of the most common.
E.Selfie is a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social network website.
F.What's more, it's human nature to want to show off your own great achievement.
G.Everyone's own situation is different, but here are some of the most common theories.

   Forty percent of teens say they have been hit or nearly hit by a car,motorcycle or bike while walking,according to a new report released by the Safe Kids Worldwide organization.

Safe Kids Delaware has released a list of safety tips children and teens should follow in order to remain safe while walking. The group said it is important to put down phones and remove headphones while crossing the street,make eye contact with drivers before crossing,and remain visible to drivers even in the dark.

"We all know about the dangers of distracted(思想不集中的)driving,but we need to talk to our children,especially teens,about the dangers of walking while they are distracted by using technology like listening to music with headphones on,and texting on cellphones,"said Kim O'Malley,the pedestrian(行人)safety conductor for Safe Kids Delaware.

Teens on the Moue is the name of the report,which explores the walking behavior of  1,040 teenagers between the ages of 13 to 19.Half of the surveyed teens admitted they were distracted by a mobile device while crossing the street. The study also found that more often than not,those who were hit or nearly hit had not been using a crosswalk(人行横道)or had been running across the street.

Safe Kids Worldwide reports that the death rate for teens aged 13 to 19 is nearly three times higher than that of 5-to 12-year-olds.In Delaware,seven teenagers aged 15 to 19 have been killed in pedestrian crashes in the last three years,and another 123 have been injured. By comparison,just two children aged 5 to 9 were killed at that time and another 79 were injured. The new report expands on findings from a similar one in 2015 that showed one in five high schoolers and one in eight middle schoolers crossed the street while distracted by using technology.
