The solubility difference between methyl alcohol (CH3OH) and benzene (C6H6) is related to the polar nature of methyl alcohol and the non polar nature of benzene. The OH group on methyl alcohol makes this a polar molecule and thus soluble in water. The lack of such a polar group in benzene makes it non polar, and thus insoluble in water.

Is selenium water or fat-soluble?

Selenium is not soluble in water. Like sulfur, though, it does dissolve in a rather nasty liquid called carbon disulfide, and in toluene, also called methyl benzene, and some of its relatives. All these liquids require handling in a fume cupboard and with precautions to stop their catching fire.
