(2017·四川绵阳二诊)With courses on David Beckham and Harry Potter on offer at famous universities，it comes as no surprise that students are now able to learn the art of the perfect selfie (自拍)．
The concept of taking selfies gained great popularity.It soon exploded on the Internet，and people started crazily to take images that had them as the primary item of focus.The trend became so popular that it even inspired a song，“Selfie”by The Chainsmokers，which racked up 267 million views on YouTube.In fact，Twitter dec lared 2014 as “the year of the selfie”．
Just like the art of photography can be studied and improved，City Literary Institute，a well-known college in London，felt it needed to educate people on the fine art of taking the perfect selfie and officially started to offer a first-ever course on that.
The four-session course will cost ￡132 (￡106 for seniors)，but the fee won't even include a free selfie-stick，a tool that is rapidly gaining acceptance for serious selfie-takers.It is open to all enthusiastic and self-obsessed photographers.
As part of the new course，self-absorbed photographers will be taught “valuable life skills”to prepare themselves to face a world which could present a photo opportunity at any point.Apart from offering the much-needed but seldom-sought guidance on the best angles and lighting，the course promises to improve your critical understanding of the “selfie”．There will also be a brief exploration into the concepts of “identity，self-hood and memory”as well as the opportunity to “develop new ideas to make your photography more relevant to your aims”．
But the selfie enthusiasts must be prepared to share their photos，as organizers said a critique (评论) of students' work would form an important role in the learning process.

(2017·沈阳高三质量检测)When going through major life changes，like changing careers，I would change the people with whom I spent the most time.We've all gone through periods when the people in our lives have changed—graduation，moving to a new city，getting a new job，joining a new club，etc.I don't think I need to convince you just how much influence other people can have over your identity.If you've ever experienced a major switch in your people environment，then you know that you change as well.
Most people don't make these choices consciously(意识到地) though.You might consciously decide to spend more time with a certain friend，or you may ask someone out on a date to begin a new relationship.But few people choose their existing friendships deliberately.
There's no “getting rid of people”．People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives.Associations grow into friendships，and friendships fade into associations.You don't get rid of anyone.The truth is that in order to make room for new people and new experiences，you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections.
What about loyalty(忠诚)? Shouldn't you always be loyal to your friends? Once you have a close friend，even if his influence on you is slightly harmful，shouldn't you stick by him?
Loyalty to a friend sometimes means having to let go.It means being loyal to his highest and best self as well.If someone is destroying his health by smoking，for example，you aren't showing loyalty by smoking right along with him.True loyalty sometimes requires that you break damaging connections，get yourself back on solid ground，and then decide what you can really do to help your friend.
It can take a lot of courage to tell someone，“I'm sorry，but I can't have you in my life anymore.”But even though this might seem like a selfish act at times，it's often the
best thing for the other person too.If a relationship is holding you back in some way，understand that it's also hurting the other person.For example，if you work for a violent boss，your acceptance of that situation is considered to be silent approval，encouraging your boss to continue to behave violently.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了人的一生会经历很多的改变，从而告诉我们：如何适应改变以及怎样做才是对朋友真正的忠诚。

C[句意理解题。根据画线句后的“People are always dropping into and out of each other's lives.Associations grow into friendships，and friendships fade into associations.You don't get rid of anyone...you may need to loosen up some of your existing connections”可知，尽管人们之间的联系少了，但友谊依然存在。故选C 项。]
