“You can you up, no can no bb.” The latest Chinglish buzz phrase, having swept through Chinese cyberspace (網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間) and society, has now made a landing overseas, entering the US web-based Urban Dictionary.

According to the entry put forward by “gingerdesu”, “You can you up” which means “If you can do it, go ahead and do it”, is a Chinglish catch phrases referring to people who criticize others’ work, especially when the critic is not so much better.

As well as “You can you up”, other Chinglish catch phrases, such as “tuhao” and “no zuo no die”, have also been recorded on the site.

Coined with roots in Chinese grammar, and even containing Pinyin, Chinglish words and phrases are even spreading beyond grass roots (草根) websites.

In 2013, “dama” and “tuhao” found their way into The Wall Street Journal and the BBC, and words such as “feng shui”, “Chengguan” and “people mountain people sea” have been admitted to the Oxford English Dictionary.

“The frequent use of Chinglish by foreign institutions suggests that people are looking more to the lifestyle and popular culture of China,” says Zhang Yiwu, professor of Peking University’s Department of Chinese Language and Literature.

“Words like ‘dama’ and ‘tuhao’ are so vivid. My friends and I use them a lot —it’s so much fun,” said Satoshi Nishida, a Japanese student studying at Beijing Language and Culture University.

“Behind these Chinglish words and phrases is the Chinese culture. They are reflections of the changes and trends in the Chinese society and they help people from other countries to understand what’s happening in China,” according to Xing Hongbing, a professor of Beijing Language and Culture University.

“When the price of gold went down last year, while the super purchasing power of the Chinese bargain-hunting middle-aged women drew worldwide attention, there was no effective way available in other languages to describe them, and ‘dama’ filled the gap very neatly,” says Xing.

1.Why does the author take “dama” for example in the last paragraph?

A. To suggest the culture and trends in the Chinese society.

B. To show the Chinese women’s super purchasing power.

C. To indicate the women drew worldwide attention.

Mrs Smith have been teaching us about kites. She told us that they were invented in China in more than 2,300 years ago. When our teacher asked us to design a kite it could fly, we started our pairs work at once.

First we collected the materials we need. Tara brought the big plastic bag to school. I persuaded my dad to let me have some masking tape that left over last week where we had been spraying the rusty(生銹的)patch on the car. I also found some thin poles. But either Tara nor I could find any string at home, so we will get some for our pocket money on the way home tonight.

"A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."This is the definition(定義)of the word "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn't even in the dictionary until August,2013.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed(著迷)with selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But does this obsession actually make sense?Is there any scientific explanation for it?Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them—we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures.In most cases,they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror,according to BBC.

To further test how we actually sense our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions(版本)of their own image—the original which had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive—and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.

But what does it say about selfies?Well,isn't that obvious?Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters(濾鏡)and so on—that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual(非虛擬的)interactions,"Kilner told the Canada-based CTA News.Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with", he explained.

1.According to Kilner's studies,it can be learned that we .

A. know about our own faces well

B. tend to recognize our own faces easily

C. become poor at reading others' facial expressions

D. believe we have better images than we actually do

2.What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Selfie. B. This obsession.

C. The history of selfie. D. The rise of selfie.

3.According to Kilner,why do people like taking selfies?

A. It enables them to improve their skill of taking a photograph.

B. It meets their needs to know their own faces better.

C. It makes them possible to reach their expectation.

D. It offers them a way to control the virtual world.

4.What might be the best title of the passage?

A. What Is Selfie

B. Selfie Beautify Yourself

C. How Do People Take Selfies

D. Selfies Improve Your Confidence
