In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21stbirthday party. He got drunk, tripped on some stepsand cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries andshared it with his friends on an online forum.“And sorry about the focus, ” he wrote, “it was a selfie.”

On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie”
Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of
smartphone self-portraits and the resulting shares

narcissist n. 自我陶醉者；自我崇拜者；自恋者
Dad thinks I’m a narcissist, but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares
Para.1
自恋 (narcissism)这个词源于有关水仙花(narcissus)的希腊神话。纳西索斯 (Narcissus)是河神 (Cephissus)与水泽女神(Liriope)的儿子，是希腊神话中最俊美的男子人物。他对任何姑娘都不动心，只对自己的水中倒影爱慕不已。他无数次将手伸入水中，想要拥抱自己的倒影，可每一次的水波荡漾都使他重新陷入绝望。他再也无法忍受这种痛苦，终于跳入池塘，溺水而死。出于同情，众神让他的身体化作一朵晶莹剔透，出水而立的水仙花。后来，Narcissus就成了“孤芳自赏者” “自我陶醉者”等的代名词。
Careful reading
obsessive = obsess(v.) + -ive (形容词后缀)
adj. 痴迷的；迷恋的；过度的（含贬义）
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence and a desire for attention.

Careful reading
But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover!

D. entertains its audience by embarrassing the guests
Post-reading
3 According to the passage, we know Emma _____
A. often makes every effort to put on weight
B. lost most of her weight thanks to a plus-size model
C. thought external beauty is the most critical aspect of her life
D. was bothered by the way people look at her for many years
4 What is Dr. Hart’s opinion on beauty
A. People should make every means to look pretty.
B. Not external beauty but inner beauty matters.
C. Beauty is more important than happiness.
D. Health and happiness are the beauty we should value.
1.Do you agree that “It's a pretty person's world” Why
In a sense I agree. In today's society, there are countless people who get convenience everywhere because of their good appearances, and there are countless people who run into difficulties because of their bad appearances. Therefore, people tend to choose good looks when choosing a partner or employee. In a sense this is a pretty person's world.
In a sense I disagree. There are many things in the world more important than good looks, such as heath, personality and ability. This is like a big tree, the ability and personality are the root which is hidden underground, and the good looks are branches and leaves which can be seen at the first glimpse. as time goes by, you will find the root-ability is more important.
Think and Share
2. Has your understanding of the importance of appearance changed after reading the passage Why
Yes. I think that inner beauty is very important, but external beauty can't be completely overlooked. I believe inner beauty holds great significance, yet external beauty should not be entirely disregarded. Both aspects complement each other, creating a comprehensive sense of beauty that encompasses both the heart and appearance.
Think and Share
3. In addition to those methods mentioned in the passage, what other ways do you think can make you become a better person
I think we can read or travel. For someone said that “ You can either travel or read,but either your body or soul must be on the way.” These can enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizons.
Or: In my opinion, reading more books, being a kind person or a useful person to society can also help make me become a better person.
Or: The following five ways may help you. ① Knowing yourself: Don't be afraid to be yourself and set your own standards of beauty.② Being pretty on the inside.③ Taking care of your body and health.④ Taking care of your skin and hair.⑤ Taking care of your outfits(着装) and style.
Think and Share
4. Have you encountered any difficulties in understanding the main idea of this passage Share them with the class and ask for advice.
At first, when I understood this text, I took it for granted that it was about the importance of inner beauty. But when I read it carefully, I realized that the article advocated a very comprehensive view, which not only focused on the inner beauty, but also appreciated the outer beauty. The most important point the author advocates is that whether you have external beauty or internal beauty, your beauty is full of confidence and sports health is the most important.
起初我在理解这篇课文时，想当然地认为这就是讲内在美的重要性。可当我仔细阅读之后，我才发现，这篇文章提倡的观点真是太全面了，它不仅注重内在美，也赞赏外在美。作者最提倡的观点是：无论你拥有外在美还是内在美，你具有充满自信、运动健康的美才是最重要的。
Think and Share
Now talk about which story or comment makes the greatest impression on you and give your reasons.
Do you agree that “It’s a pretty person’s world” Why

1. How do you define beauty
2. What other ways do you think can make you become a better person
Beauty, to me, is a blend of inner and outer harmony. It's not just about looks but also about kindness, confidence, and the pursuit of dreams. True beauty shines from within, reflecting our true selves.
Continuous learning, practicing empathy, and staying active in my community are key. They broaden my horizons, strengthen relationships, and help me make a positive impact, making me a better person overall.
1. Based on your own understanding, write down your opinions on beauty. (at least five sentences)
2. Write a short passage about the true meaning of beauty.

1.Do you agree that “It's a pretty person's world” Why
In a sense I agree. In today's society, there are countless people who get convenience everywhere because of their good appearances, and there are countless people who run into difficulties because of their bad appearances. Therefore, people tend to choose good looks when choosing a partner or employee. In a sense this is a pretty person's world.
In a sense I disagree. There are many things in the world more important than good looks, such as heath, personality and ability. This is like a big tree, the ability and personality are the root which is hidden underground, and the good looks are branches and leaves which can be seen at the first glimpse. as time goes by, you will find the root-ability is more important.

2. Has your understanding of the importance of appearance changed after reading the passage Why
Yes. I think that inner beauty is very important, but external beauty can't be completely overlooked. I believe inner beauty holds great significance, yet external beauty should not be entirely disregarded. Both aspects complement each other, creating a comprehensive sense of beauty that encompasses both the heart and appearance.

3. In addition to those methods mentioned in the passage, what other ways do you think can make you become a better person
I think we can read or travel. For someone said that “ You can either travel or read,but either your body or soul must be on the way.” These can enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizons.
Or: In my opinion, reading more books, being a kind person or a useful person to society can also help make me become a better person.
Or: The following five ways may help you. ① Knowing yourself: Don't be afraid to be yourself and set your own standards of beauty.② Being pretty on the inside.③ Taking care of your body and health.④ Taking care of your skin and hair.⑤ Taking care of your outfits(着装) and style.

4. Have you encountered any difficulties in understanding the main idea of this passage Share them with the class and ask for advice.
At first, when I understood this text, I took it for granted that it was about the importance of inner beauty. But when I read it carefully, I realized that the article advocated a very comprehensive view, which not only focused on the inner beauty, but also appreciated the outer beauty. The most important point the author advocates is that whether you have external beauty or internal beauty, your beauty is full of confidence and sports health is the most important.
起初我在理解这篇课文时，想当然地认为这就是讲内在美的重要性。可当我仔细阅读之后，我才发现，这篇文章提倡的观点真是太全面了，它不仅注重内在美，也赞赏外在美。作者最提倡的观点是：无论你拥有外在美还是内在美，你具有充满自信、运动健康的美才是最重要的。

2. What other ways do you think can make you become a better person
Beauty, to me, is a blend of inner and outer harmony. It's not just about looks but also about kindness, confidence, and the pursuit of dreams. True beauty shines from within, reflecting our true selves.
Continuous learning, practicing empathy, and staying active in my community are key. They broaden my horizons, strengthen relationships, and help me make a positive impact, making me a better person overall.
