①Deer and elk (麋鹿) populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. ②These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. ③In the absence of wolves, coyote (郊狼) populations also grew quickly. ④The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers (海狸).

Ⅲ. Practice
1. ① “A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. ②In fact, it wasn’t even in the dictionary until August of last year.③ It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) 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 for quite a while.

2. ①But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession ②Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) at University College London.

Ⅲ. Practice
3. ①Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people’s faces and facial expressions. ②In 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.

4. ①This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.
5. ①Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. ②This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. ③To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. ④He showed people different versions of their own portrait — the original, one that 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. ⑤They chose the more attractive version.

6. ①Selfies give us the power to create a photograph — by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on — that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.
7. ①“You suddenly have control in a way that you don’t have in non-virtual(非虚拟的) interactions,” Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. ②Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you’re happy with”, he explained.

①With an increasing number of people addicted to taking photos of themselves, a newly-made word, selfie, becomes a hit. ②Admittedly, the lack of experience of watching self-facial expression can scientifically account for the flourish of selfie.③Furthermore, people instinctively tend to choose charming portrait and beautify themselves by the selfie technique.④Thirdly, selfie allows people to have more chances to control their images and keep a psychological balance between the virtual world and the real world.
