The word "selfie" was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2013. But why do people feel the need to take them? And are they doing us more harm than good? According to some scientists, humans have an area in their brain that controls social activity.

It helps people feel in control of their appearance and can be a powerful tool. But can it go too far? Scientists warn that too much time spent on selfies can influence people's confidence, especially in teenagers. If you are spending a lot of time choosing the perfect selfie clothes, then there could be a problem. At the same time, posting selfies online can harm your personal relationships.

Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Several days ago, while I got online, my cousin's QQ head popped out . We hadn't seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a talk with her. My cousin is studying in a college of our city. Her hobby is surfing the Internet. Every time I am on the computer, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her "personal space". I like visiting her space. It's creative and modern. I can't design such a colorful web page as hers. When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been changed, but I could still guess their meanings. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Further watching made me realize that they added some common Chinese radicals to the original characters, making them more vivid , a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to the Chinese language and culture. It is true that the Internet has _ our language, but I still can't accept this new change. Some Chinese characters have meanings in the shapes; one shouldn't superficially change them by adding an additional radical. So I advised my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice. Question: The author's cousin was a(n) _ . Answer:

OPTIONS:
- engineer
- teacher
- model
- student

A:
student
