A friend of mine and his wife were in Hawaii, standing on a beach, watching a beautiful sunset ― hardly able to believe how magnificent the sight was. A woman approached them and overheard my friend’s wife say, “I can’t believe how beautiful this is.” While walking away from the spectacular display, the woman said, “You should have seen it in Tahiti.”
When your attention is not on the present moment but on something else, you will tend to , as the Tahiti traveler did, or you will wonder about future experiences instead of enjoying the present one, and regret past experiences because they are already over. But as you learn to bring your attention back to the here and now, life will come alive again, providing the enjoyment and satisfaction it was meant to. Thus, when you live in the present moment, one of the nice things that happens to you is that ordinary, everyday life takes on a new significance.
Taking walks, watching a sunset, gardening, reading a book, all begin to feel special. When your attention is brought back to the here and now, you engage in life rather than think about life.

(A)
On the wall of our dining room was a framed quotation: “Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” It inspired in me countless childhood daydreams about meeting new people from exotic places. I was a child who desperately wanted to connect with others. We did live ‘by the side of the road’ ― on Route 9 between Keene and Portsmouth ― but in a place so remote it was extremely difficult to be a ‘friend to man.’
(B)
Why couldn’t others also benefit from that value? I could save people the trouble of going into the store by making my produce accessible at the side of the road, and that would provide value, too. Surely I could convince people to pay half of what the grocery store charged and to feel lucky about the bargain. Suddenly, I saw a connection between those bumpy vegetables on our table and the quotation on the wall; I found a way to satisfy my longing for . These homely fruits and vegetables would become my golden apples.
(C)
One day when our family drove into town, I focused intently on the big, paper, grocery store signs advertising the same type of produce that we grew: ‘carrots, 50 cents a bunch,’ ‘tomatoes, 99 cents a pound.’ Meanwhile, I thought of how the type of ‘imperfect’ produce we ate for dinner, just as healthy as that sold at the store, was often tossed on the compost heap or left in the ground.
* compost heap: 퇴비 더미
(D)
The unattractive produce such as crooked carrots and odd-looking tomatoes was not valuable to the grocery store, where only ‘perfect’ produce was sold. But I knew they would have value to people who would chop them into salads or soups, can them, or use them to make pies, because that is what our family did with them. They were fresh and clean and came straight from the good earth.

(A)One Saturday during the summer, I asked my father if he would go down to the schoolyard and play basketball with me. I had just finished the fifth grade, and wanted desperately to make the middle school team the coming fall. (a)I couldn’t believe my ears when he called for my mother and sister to come along, for, in the traditional fashion, my mother was the house accountant, the launderer, and, of course, the cook.
(B)She turned from the basket and began heading the other way. (b)“Um-mah,” I cried at her, my irritation already bubbling over, “the basket’s over here!” After a few steps she turned around, and from where the professional three-point line must be now, she effortlessly flipped the ball up in the air, its flight truer and higher than I’d witnessed from any boy or man. The ball curved cleanly into the basket, stiffly popping the chain-link net. All afternoon, she rained in shot after shot, as my father and I ran after her.
(C)When we got home from the playground, my mother showed me the photograph album of her high school days. I was shocked to learn that she had been the top player for the national high school team that once won the all-Asia championships. (c)For years I kept it in my room, on the same shelf that housed the scrapbooks I made of basketball stars, with magazine clippings of great players such as Bubbles Hawkins, Pistol Pete, and George Gervin.
(D)When we arrived, my sister immediately ran off to the swings, and (d)I recall being annoyed that my mother wasn’t following her. I dribbled awkwardly around the free-throw line, almost losing control of the ball, and made a flat shot that bounced wildly off the basket. The ball fell to my father, who took a few not so graceful dribbles and missed an easy layup. (e)He rebounded his shot and passed the ball to my mother, who had been watching us from the foul line.

Some scientists have shown the practical power of looking at the world through ‘could-be’eyes. When a group of students were shown an unfamiliar rubbery object and told, “This could be a dog’s chewy toy,” they were later able to see that it might also be of use as an eraser when they made some pencil mistakes. In contrast, students who were told that it was a dog’s chewy toy did not find its alternative use.
Another group of students watched a video about physics after being told, “This presents only one of several outlooks on physics. Please feel free to use any additional methods you want to assist you in solving the problems.” On tests of factual comprehension, these students performed no differently from students who had watched the video with a different introduction: “This presents the outlook on physics. Please use the method you see in the video in solving the problems.” But when they were faced with questions that asked them to use the information more creatively, the ‘could-be’ students performed much better than the others. Just a simple of language seemed to invite the students to process and store information in a much more flexible format, and thus be able to look at it and make use of it in different ways.

PersonAIn ordinary life, you can be very comfortable with modern technology. Just as people search for books in bookstores, you can find and select what you want with a computer. You have already seen how much modern technology has changed the world. You can talk to each other in real time, looking at each other on a palm-sized phone. In the near future, I believe that most people will wear user-friendly computer equipment making their daily lives even more convenient. This would give us the chance to find information quickly and communicate with others no matter where we are or what we are doing.
PersonBThe latest devices are fun to use for many tasks like browsing cyber space, but it is important to keep your distance from them as well. The constant noises of electronic devices like computers, mobile phones, fax machines, stereos, and home appliances will drown out the sounds of the birds singing in the morning, the wind blowing through the trees, or a pencil drawing on rough paper. Modern technology is addictive, so be sure to plan days away from its electromagnetic fields. Go out into nature and leave your mobile phone behind.

They all reached the beach two hours later, exhausted but safe. At that time, the non-swimmer thanked Margo for saving his life, and (a)he asked why she had been so insistent about going slowly and quietly. “Because,” she said to him, “for one thing, I knew it was a long way and we had to conserve our energy. For another, that ocean is full of sharks and I didn’t care to attract their attention. But if I’d told you that, you might have panicked and none of us would have made it.” |
(B)
Margo took charge. She shouted out orders. She told each person to take a wooden board, use it as a float, and begin kicking slowly toward shore. She ordered (b)the non-swimmer to share a piece of board with her. “Kick softly,” she told him, “Don’t stir up the water more than you have to.” With Margo’s firm presence next to him, the non-swimmer avoided panic. When every now and then his kicking became awkward and noisy, Margo ordered (c)him to stop. Slowly and quietly, the five moved toward the distant shore. |

Margo was on holiday with friends, three miles off the Kenyan coast in the Indian Ocean, in a fishing boat. Suddenly the engine died, and for mysterious reasons, the boat began to sink. Before they knew what was happening, Margo, her three friends, and (d)the African boatman were in the sea. They all had life jackets, but it was a long way to shore. Around them were lots of wooden barrels and boards. At that moment, (e)one of the three friends said, “I don’t know how to swim.” |

Person AMost people agree that fruit is a valuable, healthy food. Nonetheless, they usually throw away a very nutritious part of the fruit―the peel. In fact, fruit peel contains essential vitamins and is a source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber helps to lower the level of cholesterol and blood sugar, which reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Fiber also helps to lessen calorie intake, because people don’t feel hungry even though they eat less. Eating fruit peel can also help to decrease the amount of food waste which is a cause of pollution. Finally, I think people who eat fruit peel prefer organic food, which encourages farmers to use less pesticide and thus to contribute to a cleaner environment. |

Person BPersonally, I don’t like the bitter taste and roughness of fruit peel, though I understand that it has some nutritious value and contains dietary fiber. Even so, I don’t think it is wise to eat fruit without peeling it. You might think you’re removing all the pesticide on the fruit when you wash it, but some chemicals are bound to remain on the surface of the peel. The use of detergent to clean the fruit can also cause additional water pollution. Another reason for removing the peel before eating is that some fruits such as apples, pears, and grapes have a tough skin, which can be harder to chew and to digest. *dietary fiber: 식이 섬유 **pesticide: 농약 |
위 두 글의 핵심 쟁점으로 가장 적절한 것은?

PersonASince people generally like what they are good at, I propose that our children focus on areas in which they excel. To this end, we should test our children’s aptitudes in various subject areas during their last year of elementary school. For example, if a child scores well in science, he or she would then attend middle and high schools which specialize in science. Such a system would prepare students for employment after high school as well as further specialized study at university. There is plenty of time in life for people to follow other interests. School should be a time for students to develop their strengths because their strengths because______________________________. |

PersonA의 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?
PersonBI think it is rather unfair to decide our children’s career paths based on the results of anaptitude test taken when they are 11 or 12 years old. Areas which children are considered good at in sixth grade may not be the same ones in which they excel by the end of their senior year. Secondary school should be a time for expanding horizons―not limiting them. The only thing students should be required to do is to study a broad range of subjects throughout middle and high school. By the end of high school they would have a much better idea of what they would like to study at university. The time for specialized study is in university and graduate school, not earlier. |

Not everyone is in favor of using (a)the big ball, however. Some players, such as hard hitting, six-time Wimbledon champ Pete Sampras, call the change “simply ridiculous.” Also, aside from modifying the current game, there is some concern that players may suffer arm and ligament injuries as they swing harder trying to draw more speed out of the ball. *ligament: 인대 |

Tennis is in some trouble. People seem to be losing interest in the game. One major reason for this is that the men’s professional game has lost some of its appeal.

At Wimbledon, for example, Britain’s Greg Rusedski hit the ball at 138 mph, the fastest recorded serve for the tournament.

The claim that we have recently entered the information age is misleading. Flooded by (a)cellphones, the Internet, and television, we incorrectly imagine that our ancestors inhabited an innocent world where the news did not travel far beyond (b) the village. It may not be valid to assume that the media make our time distinct from the past, because we know relatively little about how information was shared in the past.
In fact, the Olympics celebrate the memory of (c)the Greek soldier who brought the news of the Athenian victory over the Persians. Most of us could come up with many other examples - (d)message drums, smoke signals, church bells, ship flags. But their primitiveness would only confirm our sense that we live in a fundamentally different world, one of constant, instant access to information.
All ages have had a means of sharing information. What makes our time distinct is not the density of the data we take in. It is the technology that does the transmitting. Thanks to (e)satellites, we can find out instantly about events that occur on the other side of the world.

That spring, I was taken to my first big-league game. Just as we approached the exit after the game, I caught sight of Willie Mays. He was standing near the gate not ten feet away from me. I rushed to him and said, “Mr. Mays, could I please have your autograph?” He said, “Sure, kid. You got a pencil?” I didn’t have one in my pocket. The great Willie Mays stood there watching in silence. He just shrugged and said, “Sorry, kid.” And then he walked out of the ballpark into the night.

After that night, I started carrying a pencil with me wherever I went. It became a habit of mine never to leave the house without making sure I had a pencil in my pocket.

In making a successful school, we must consider the relationships among the people involved in the school community. Teachers need to know their students well in order to be able to teach them effectively. In addition, teachers must maintain a good relationship with the parents, who are also an important part of the total community.
In a community built on trust and openness, where teachers, students, and parents show respect for each other, students feel secure and can develop the self-confidence which makes learning and personal growth possible. When students are drawn into meaningful relationships with their teachers and other adults, they are better able to see them as real people. This affects their whole attitude toward school and learning.
In such an environment, teachers feel valued and supported. Parents feel included. __________ , they are more likely to contribute to the improvement of the school and the learningof the students. All members of the school community feel as though they belong and can make a positive contribution to the school.

These new technologies have another benefit for biologists by allowing them to gain access to the unknown world of communication between animals. For centuries, biologists believed giraffes were the silent giants of Africa. In recent years, however, biologists have been able to listen more carefully by means of these technologies and have realized that giraffes may talk, though not in a way that we can hear. |
(B)
Communication through infrasound is not limited to giraffes. Over the last few decades, biologists have found that whales, elephants, and some other animals also use this extremely low-pitched sound to communicate. This infrasound, as a means of communication, has special merit: It can travel a greater distance than higher-pitched noise. Such long-distance communication is a must for animalssuch as giraffes or elephants that roam over wide areas. |
(C)
Infrasoundis a low-pitched sound, whose frequency is far below the range of human ears. Scientists, however, have been able to discover the existence of infrasound by using special technologies. These new technologies have revealed that many things can produce infrasound, from earthquakes and thunderstorms to trains and underground explosions, thus making possible the warning of earthquakes and the monitoring of underground nuclear-explosion tests. |

Our parents cast long shadows over our lives, and we become aware of (a)their existence when we are infants. Parents first teach us essential ways of living by cautioning, "Don't touch" or "It's not nice to do that." We may think that we learn these lessons through (b)independent efforts, but it's not the way we obtain them at all. It is our parents who have given us our sense of right and wrong, our understanding of love, and our knowledge of who we are.
As we grow up, we see them less and less. We leave their homes, and we start new families of our own. So sometimes we think that we can walk in the sun, free of the shadows. But still the shadows have not gone. We carry(c)their being with us all our lives in the sounds of our voices, the look and feel of our skin, and the warmth of our hands and our hearts.

Imagine that it's Saturday and you are to meet your friends at the mall at 12:00. You've been busy all morning, and suddenly you notice it is 11:45. You hurry to get ready and then jump in the car. What route is probably the fastest? You know where the mall is, and you choose the best route based on what you know about the distance, the number of stop lights, and the amount of traffic. In short, you make observations and make your best guesses based on what you know and have observed.
(B)
True problem solving, however, beyond feelings. To solve a problem, you must look beyond how you feel and combine information that you already know with new observations. Then, on the basis of your knowledge of the situation, you can evaluate the problem and come up with the best way to solve it. An example will make this point clear.
(C)
Everyone makes decisions every day. What clothes should you wear? Should you go out tonight or stay home and study?

Feelings and judgments of how others feel toward you play a major role in how you choose to solve your day-to-day problems.

Once a week, write a heartfelt letter. Taking a few minutes each week to do so does many things for you. (a)Picking up a pen slows you down long enough to remember the beautiful people in your life. The act of sitting down to write helps to fill your life with appreciation. Once you decide to try (b)this, you'll probably be amazed at how many people appear on your list.
The purpose of your letter is very simple: to express love and gratitude. Don't worry if you're not good at (c)writing letters. If you can't think of much to say, start with short little notes like, "Dear Jasmine, How lucky I am to have friends like you in my life! I am truly blessed, and I wish you all the happiness and joy that life can bring. Love, Richard."
Not only does the act of writing a note like this focus (d)your attention on what's right in your life, but the person receiving it will be touched and grateful. Often (e)this simple action starts a chain of loving actions whereby the person receiving your letter may decide to do the same thing to someone else, or perhaps will act and feel more loving toward others.

I was an art student. Everybody told me I had a talent for painting. Tempted by fame, I told my art professor that I wanted to leave university to go to Paris, the home of many well-known artists.
Jim, Professor Turner said, I believe you've mastered the basic skills of painting, but there are many more things you need to learn about art and life. If you finish your studies at university, I will teach you all that you need.
I didn't listen to him, however, choosing the possibility of fame instead. Professor Turner said, You are making a mistake, Jim, and perhaps some day you'll regret your decision."
I went to Paris anyway. I was sure I'd become a famous artist quickly. Overconfident of my skills, I didn't work hard and too frequently went to the movies and to parties with my friends. One of them, who painted for art's sake alone, told me that I should work harder and quit painting for money. Ignoring his advice, I wasted my time and continued to paint what I thought was popular. Gradually, however, people lost interest in my paintings. I became penniless and finally stopped painting. Now I am working in an office but I still think about my art. All my life, I'll regret not taking my teacher's advice seriously.

You are a member of your family, a player on the community baseball team, and a student in your school. You are also a citizen of your country. In short, you occupy several different positions in the complex structure of society. This means you should play many roles in different situations. Generally, you have little difficulty performing each of your roles because you know what is expected of you. This knowledge guides you through your daily interactions.
But sometimes you will get caught in a conflict. Each role of yours makes demands on you, and you may be asked to play two or more roles at the same time. When many roles make conflicting demands on you, you may feel quite uncomfortable and at times frustrated. For example, your family is going on a picnic this coming Sunday. But your best friend wants you to join his or her birthday party on the same day. When such role conflicts occur, you need to do more important things first. Thus, the ability to decide what to do in what order is an essential skill to fulfill multiple social roles.

Once upon a time there was an island called Lombok. On the island lived a girl named Munira and her big brother Amin, the fisherman. "There aren't any more fish around here, Munira," said Amin one day. "They've all gone away, and I must follow them. Stay here, won't you? Promise me?" "Of course," answered Munira. "I'll put a lamp in the window every night for you to come home by. Amin didn't come back that night. Nor the next night, not the next. For years, Munira lived on the seashells she gathered on the beach during the day. She waited by the window with her lamp at night. The other people of Lombok moved away, one by one. Soon, Munira was alone. One day Munira's cousin, Zeinab, came to visit her from the big city. "Come to the city and live with me!"said Zeinab. "I can't," said Munira. "I can't let the lamp go out." The next night there was a terrible storm. In the morning, Munira walked along the beach looking for seashells. Suddenly, she saw her lost brother Amin! He was covered with seaweed and holding on to his broken boat, but he was alive. "How did you find your way?" asked Munira. "There were no stars last night!" "I saw the lamp," he said.

Our self-image is the blueprint which determines how we see the world. When we hate ourselves, we hate everybody else. When we love ourselves, the world is wonderful.

Recently, I was in a restaurant when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I happened to hear their conversation. The woman asked: So, how have you been? And the boy, no more than seven or eight years old, replied, Frankly, I've been a little depressed lately. This remained in my mind because it strengthened my belief that children were changing. As I remember, my friends and I didn't realize we were depressed until high school. The proof of a change in children has been increasing steadily. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak, dress, and behave more like adults than in the past. Little girls wearing earrings and designer dresses are not uncommon. Boys wearing hairstyles like movie stars aren't rare anymore. These changes are not without reason. In the past, children learned the secrets of adulthood very slowly. Today, however, TV, computers, and the media are pushing children into adult roles. Indeed, the amount of information available to children is quickening the beginning of adulthood.

This year, world grain production is likely to set historic records, permitting some rebuilding of world food stockpiles. India, once written off as a hopeless case, has almost tripled its food production in the last 30 years. Laborers in Russia expect a regular portion of meat, and Chinese peasants no longer suffer from the famines that in the past have swept over the land. Despite the real progress, however, there are still more hungry people in the world than ever beforeboth in absolute numbers and as a percentage of total world population. The rising cost of food has contributed to this situation. By most estimates, more than 500 million people - roughly one out of every nine -suffer from serious malnutrition today, compared with 100 million to 200 million -one out of every 14 to 25 people - in the 1950's.

The early volunteers worked alone and did hard and unpleasant tasks. They devoted themselves to hours of unpaid work for the poor and helpless, never minding that few appreciated what they were doing for society. Up until about two decades ago, they had seldom received funds from the government or private organizations. This was so mainly because society paid little attention to their activities or achievements. Then, in the last ten to fifteen years, changes in society brought about a transformation of volunteerism. In the first place, more people and organizations wanted to be involved in helping solve social problems out of their love for humanity. Volunteers grew in number, organized themselves, and became professional. Secondly, society as a whole began to place a great value on the experience or training that comes from volunteer work. Many employers, for instance, are now looking for would-be workers with training. So those seeking a job - the young and the unskilled - realize that the best way to get hired is to acquire some _________ from volunteer work. The result has been a considerable increase in the number of volunteers in recent years.

It was one o'clock and I was hungry. I walked into a restaurant, and seated myself. My table companion rose. "Sir," said he, "do you wish to force your company on those who do not want you?" No, said I, I wish to eat. "Are you insisting on social equality?" Nothing of the sort, sir, it is hunger-and I ate. The day's work done, I sought a hotel. The clerk frowned. "What do you want?" Rest, I said, "This is a white hotel." he said. "We don't keep niggers, we don't want social equality." Neither do I, I replied gently, I want a bed. I walked thoughtfully to the train.

In many countries, overcrowded cities face a major problem. This has been mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the cities hoping for better work and pay. Unfortunately, however, poor conditions in the urban areas, such as lack of housing, worsening sanitation and unemployment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing incentives for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health, and education services, should be improved to foster a more positive attitude to rural life. The improvement of rural lives is doubly important, because the cities themselves cannot be developed without the prior development of the rural areas. *sanitation : the use of means for protecting public health

In some Asian countries water is often taken from a well using a hand pump. The water is usually clean and safe to drink. In some villages people use earthen jars that help keep the water cool. On the other hand, the water for the fields is taken from a number of small ponds or streams. This water is carried into the fields through a long waterway. |
(B)
In some villages in many developing countries people obtain their water from ponds nearby. The water is not very clean but it is all they have. Women and children fill the buckets or cans with water and carry them back to their homes. In some countries, they make the water a little safer by passing it through a water filter. |

(A)
Schools should not impose religion or 'indoctrinate' children. Children come from many different cultural , ethnic and religious backgrounds. This means that it is difficult to agree on which set of values to teach. Even if they could agree on values, they still wouldn't know how to teach ethics outside of a framework provided by religion. Schools should stick to academics, leaving moral education to the parents and the community . |
(B)
American public schools neglected their role as moral educators. The high costs of this neglect have become unbearable. There are a lot of materialism and greed behind the public scandals. People try not to take responsibility for their actions. Employees often steal from their employers, and students cheat in their exams. The schools should go back to teaching the differences between right and wrong. |

Many people think of crisis as being connected only with unhappy events. "This is not the case," argued John. "There are the expected, maturational crises we experience at times of life development and change. Some examples are a child's first enrollment in school or his transfer at a later age to a new school, marriage, or election to puplic office. These events may hasten the occurrence of a crisis-both for the youngster and his parents." "But there is also an unexpected kind of crisis," added Mary. "This can stem from many sources such as having an automobile crash, being fired from a job, falling suddenly ill, becoming involved in a legal suit, or losing a large sum of money. Severe illness will create a crisis not only for the individual concerned but also for his family. And an illness may itself be caused by an emotional crisis like the death of parents." *maturational : 성장 과정의

A friend of mine and his wife were in Hawaii, standing on a beach, watching a beautiful sunset ― hardly able to believe how magnificent the sight was. A woman approached them and overheard my friend’s wife say, “I can’t believe how beautiful this is.” While walking away from the spectacular display, the woman said, “You should have seen it in Tahiti.”
When your attention is not on the present moment but on something else, you will tend to , as the Tahiti traveler did, or you will wonder about future experiences instead of enjoying the present one, and regret past experiences because they are already over. But as you learn to bring your attention back to the here and now, life will come alive again, providing the enjoyment and satisfaction it was meant to. Thus, when you live in the present moment, one of the nice things that happens to you is that ordinary, everyday life takes on a new significance.
Taking walks, watching a sunset, gardening, reading a book, all begin to feel special. When your attention is brought back to the here and now, you engage in life rather than think about life.

(A)
On the wall of our dining room was a framed quotation: “Let me live in a house by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” It inspired in me countless childhood daydreams about meeting new people from exotic places. I was a child who desperately wanted to connect with others. We did live ‘by the side of the road’ ― on Route 9 between Keene and Portsmouth ― but in a place so remote it was extremely difficult to be a ‘friend to man.’
(B)
Why couldn’t others also benefit from that value? I could save people the trouble of going into the store by making my produce accessible at the side of the road, and that would provide value, too. Surely I could convince people to pay half of what the grocery store charged and to feel lucky about the bargain. Suddenly, I saw a connection between those bumpy vegetables on our table and the quotation on the wall; I found a way to satisfy my longing for . These homely fruits and vegetables would become my golden apples.
(C)
One day when our family drove into town, I focused intently on the big, paper, grocery store signs advertising the same type of produce that we grew: ‘carrots, 50 cents a bunch,’ ‘tomatoes, 99 cents a pound.’ Meanwhile, I thought of how the type of ‘imperfect’ produce we ate for dinner, just as healthy as that sold at the store, was often tossed on the compost heap or left in the ground.
* compost heap: 퇴비 더미
(D)
The unattractive produce such as crooked carrots and odd-looking tomatoes was not valuable to the grocery store, where only ‘perfect’ produce was sold. But I knew they would have value to people who would chop them into salads or soups, can them, or use them to make pies, because that is what our family did with them. They were fresh and clean and came straight from the good earth.

(A)One Saturday during the summer, I asked my father if he would go down to the schoolyard and play basketball with me. I had just finished the fifth grade, and wanted desperately to make the middle school team the coming fall. (a)I couldn’t believe my ears when he called for my mother and sister to come along, for, in the traditional fashion, my mother was the house accountant, the launderer, and, of course, the cook.
(B)She turned from the basket and began heading the other way. (b)“Um-mah,” I cried at her, my irritation already bubbling over, “the basket’s over here!” After a few steps she turned around, and from where the professional three-point line must be now, she effortlessly flipped the ball up in the air, its flight truer and higher than I’d witnessed from any boy or man. The ball curved cleanly into the basket, stiffly popping the chain-link net. All afternoon, she rained in shot after shot, as my father and I ran after her.
(C)When we got home from the playground, my mother showed me the photograph album of her high school days. I was shocked to learn that she had been the top player for the national high school team that once won the all-Asia championships. (c)For years I kept it in my room, on the same shelf that housed the scrapbooks I made of basketball stars, with magazine clippings of great players such as Bubbles Hawkins, Pistol Pete, and George Gervin.
(D)When we arrived, my sister immediately ran off to the swings, and (d)I recall being annoyed that my mother wasn’t following her. I dribbled awkwardly around the free-throw line, almost losing control of the ball, and made a flat shot that bounced wildly off the basket. The ball fell to my father, who took a few not so graceful dribbles and missed an easy layup. (e)He rebounded his shot and passed the ball to my mother, who had been watching us from the foul line.

Some scientists have shown the practical power of looking at the world through ‘could-be’eyes. When a group of students were shown an unfamiliar rubbery object and told, “This could be a dog’s chewy toy,” they were later able to see that it might also be of use as an eraser when they made some pencil mistakes. In contrast, students who were told that it was a dog’s chewy toy did not find its alternative use.
Another group of students watched a video about physics after being told, “This presents only one of several outlooks on physics. Please feel free to use any additional methods you want to assist you in solving the problems.” On tests of factual comprehension, these students performed no differently from students who had watched the video with a different introduction: “This presents the outlook on physics. Please use the method you see in the video in solving the problems.” But when they were faced with questions that asked them to use the information more creatively, the ‘could-be’ students performed much better than the others. Just a simple of language seemed to invite the students to process and store information in a much more flexible format, and thus be able to look at it and make use of it in different ways.

You have already seen how much modern technology has changed the world. You can talk to each other in real time, looking at each other on a palm-sized phone. In the near future, I believe that most people will wear user-friendly computer equipment making their daily lives even more convenient. This would give us the chance to find information quickly and communicate with others no matter where we are or what we are doing.

The constant noises of electronic devices like computers, mobile phones, fax machines, stereos, and home appliances will drown out the sounds of the birds singing in the morning, the wind blowing through the trees, or a pencil drawing on rough paper.

They all reached the beach two hours later, exhausted but safe. At that time, the non-swimmer thanked Margo for saving his life, and (a)he asked why she had been so insistent about going slowly and quietly. “Because,” she said to him, “for one thing, I knew it was a long way and we had to conserve our energy. For another, that ocean is full of sharks and I didn’t care to attract their attention. But if I’d told you that, you might have panicked and none of us would have made it.” |

Margo took charge. She shouted out orders. She told each person to take a wooden board, use it as a float, and begin kicking slowly toward shore.

Person AMost people agree that fruit is a valuable, healthy food. Nonetheless, they usually throw away a very nutritious part of the fruit―the peel. In fact, fruit peel contains essential vitamins and is a source of dietary fiber. Dietary fiber helps to lower the level of cholesterol and blood sugar, which reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Fiber also helps to lessen calorie intake, because people don’t feel hungry even though they eat less. Eating fruit peel can also help to decrease the amount of food waste which is a cause of pollution. Finally, I think people who eat fruit peel prefer organic food, which encourages farmers to use less pesticide and thus to contribute to a cleaner environment. |

Person BPersonally, I don’t like the bitter taste and roughness of fruit peel, though I understand that it has some nutritious value and contains dietary fiber. Even so, I don’t think it is wise to eat fruit without peeling it. You might think you’re removing all the pesticide on the fruit when you wash it, but some chemicals are bound to remain on the surface of the peel. The use of detergent to clean the fruit can also cause additional water pollution. Another reason for removing the peel before eating is that some fruits such as apples, pears, and grapes have a tough skin, which can be harder to chew and to digest. *dietary fiber: 식이 섬유 **pesticide: 농약 |

PersonBI think it is rather unfair to decide our children’s career paths based on the results of anaptitude test taken when they are 11 or 12 years old. Areas which children are considered good at in sixth grade may not be the same ones in which they excel by the end of their senior year. Secondary school should be a time for expanding horizons―not limiting them. The only thing students should be required to do is to study a broad range of subjects throughout middle and high school. By the end of high school they would have a much better idea of what they would like to study at university. The time for specialized study is in university and graduate school, not earlier. |

That spring, I was taken to my first big-league game. Just as we approached the exit after the game, I caught sight of Willie Mays. He was standing near the gate not ten feet away from me. I rushed to him and said, “Mr. Mays, could I please have your autograph?” He said, “Sure, kid. You got a pencil?” I didn’t have one in my pocket. The great Willie Mays stood there watching in silence. He just shrugged and said, “Sorry, kid.” And then he walked out of the ballpark into the night.

In making a successful school, we must consider the relationships among the people involved in the school community. Teachers need to know their students well in order to be able to teach them effectively. In addition, teachers must maintain a good relationship with the parents, who are also an important part of the total community.
In a community built on trust and openness, where teachers, students, and parents show respect for each other, students feel secure and can develop the self-confidence which makes learning and personal growth possible.

These new technologies have another benefit for biologists by allowing them to gain access to the unknown world of communication between animals. For centuries, biologists believed giraffes were the silent giants of Africa. In recent years, however, biologists have been able to listen more carefully by means of these technologies and have realized that giraffes may talk, though not in a way that we can hear. |
(B)
Communication through infrasound is not limited to giraffes. Over the last few decades, biologists have found that whales, elephants, and some other animals also use this extremely low-pitched sound to communicate. This infrasound, as a means of communication, has special merit: It can travel a greater distance than higher-pitched noise. Such long-distance communication is a must for animalssuch as giraffes or elephants that roam over wide areas. |
(C)
Infrasoundis a low-pitched sound, whose frequency is far below the range of human ears. Scientists, however, have been able to discover the existence of infrasound by using special technologies. These new technologies have revealed that many things can produce infrasound, from earthquakes and thunderstorms to trains and underground explosions, thus making possible the warning of earthquakes and the monitoring of underground nuclear-explosion tests. |

Our parents cast long shadows over our lives, and we become aware of (a)their existence when we are infants. Parents first teach us essential ways of living by cautioning, "Don't touch" or "It's not nice to do that." We may think that we learn these lessons through (b)independent efforts, but it's not the way we obtain them at all. It is our parents who have given us our sense of right and wrong, our understanding of love, and our knowledge of who we are.
As we grow up, we see them less and less. We leave their homes, and we start new families of our own. So sometimes we think that we can walk in the sun, free of the shadows. But still the shadows have not gone. We carry(c)their being with us all our lives in the sounds of our voices, the look and feel of our skin, and the warmth of our hands and our hearts.
It is only when they are gone and we never see them that we find that they and we are indivisible. In fact, we have not been able to separate ourselves from (d)them our whole lives long. (e)The shadows are still there, but they have never really blocked the light at all.

Imagine that it's Saturday and you are to meet your friends at the mall at 12:00. You've been busy all morning, and suddenly you notice it is 11:45. You hurry to get ready and then jump in the car. What route is probably the fastest? You know where the mall is, and you choose the best route based on what you know about the distance, the number of stop lights, and the amount of traffic. In short, you make observations and make your best guesses based on what you know and have observed.
(B)
True problem solving, however, beyond feelings. To solve a problem, you must look beyond how you feel and combine information that you already know with new observations. Then, on the basis of your knowledge of the situation, you can evaluate the problem and come up with the best way to solve it. An example will make this point clear.
(C)
Everyone makes decisions every day. What clothes should you wear? Should you go out tonight or stay home and study? Most of the decisions people make are based on what they feel will be the best solution. Feelings and judgments of how others feel toward you play a major role in how you choose to solve your day-to-day problems.

Once a week, write a heartfelt letter. Taking a few minutes each week to do so does many things for you. (a)Picking up a pen slows you down long enough to remember the beautiful people in your life. The act of sitting down to write helps to fill your life with appreciation. Once you decide to try (b)this, you'll probably be amazed at how many people appear on your list.
The purpose of your letter is very simple: to express love and gratitude. Don't worry if you're not good at (c)writing letters. If you can't think of much to say, start with short little notes like, "Dear Jasmine, How lucky I am to have friends like you in my life! I am truly blessed, and I wish you all the happiness and joy that life can bring. Love, Richard."
Not only does the act of writing a note like this focus (d)your attention on what's right in your life, but the person receiving it will be touched and grateful. Often (e)this simple action starts a chain of loving actions whereby the person receiving your letter may decide to do the same thing to someone else, or perhaps will act and feel more loving toward others.

I was an art student. Everybody told me I had a talent for painting. Tempted by fame, I told my art professor that I wanted to leave university to go to Paris, the home of many well-known artists.
Jim, Professor Turner said, I believe you've mastered the basic skills of painting, but there are many more things you need to learn about art and life. If you finish your studies at university, I will teach you all that you need.
I didn't listen to him, however, choosing the possibility of fame instead. Professor Turner said, You are making a mistake, Jim, and perhaps some day you'll regret your decision."
I went to Paris anyway. I was sure I'd become a famous artist quickly. Overconfident of my skills, I didn't work hard and too frequently went to the movies and to parties with my friends. One of them, who painted for art's sake alone, told me that I should work harder and quit painting for money. Ignoring his advice, I wasted my time and continued to paint what I thought was popular. Gradually, however, people lost interest in my paintings. I became penniless and finally stopped painting. Now I am working in an office but I still think about my art. All my life, I'll regret not taking my teacher's advice seriously.

You are a member of your family, a player on the community baseball team, and a student in your school. You are also a citizen of your country. In short, you occupy several different positions in the complex structure of society. This means you should play many roles in different situations. Generally, you have little difficulty performing each of your roles because you know what is expected of you. This knowledge guides you through your daily interactions.
But sometimes you will get caught in a conflict. Each role of yours makes demands on you, and you may be asked to play two or more roles at the same time. When many roles make conflicting demands on you, you may feel quite uncomfortable and at times frustrated. For example, your family is going on a picnic this coming Sunday. But your best friend wants you to join his or her birthday party on the same day. When such role conflicts occur, you need to do more important things first. Thus, the ability to decide what to do in what order is an essential skill to fulfill multiple social roles.

Once upon a time there was an island called Lombok. On the island lived a girl named Munira and her big brother Amin, the fisherman. "There aren't any more fish around here, Munira," said Amin one day. "They've all gone away, and I must follow them. Stay here, won't you? Promise me?" "Of course," answered Munira. "I'll put a lamp in the window every night for you to come home by. Amin didn't come back that night. Nor the next night, not the next. For years, Munira lived on the seashells she gathered on the beach during the day. She waited by the window with her lamp at night. The other people of Lombok moved away, one by one. Soon, Munira was alone. One day Munira's cousin, Zeinab, came to visit her from the big city. "Come to the city and live with me!"said Zeinab. "I can't," said Munira. "I can't let the lamp go out."

Recently, I was in a restaurant when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I happened to hear their conversation. The woman asked: So, how have you been? And the boy, no more than seven or eight years old, replied, Frankly, I've been a little depressed lately. This remained in my mind because it strengthened my belief that children were changing. As I remember, my friends and I didn't realize we were depressed until high school. The proof of a change in children has been increasing steadily. Children don't seem childlike anymore. Children speak, dress, and behave more like adults than in the past. Little girls wearing earrings and designer dresses are not uncommon. Boys wearing hairstyles like movie stars aren't rare anymore. These changes are not without reason. In the past, children learned the secrets of adulthood very slowly. Today, however, TV, computers, and the media are pushing children into adult roles. Indeed, the amount of information available to children is quickening the beginning of adulthood.

This year, world grain production is likely to set historic records, permitting some rebuilding of world food stockpiles. India, once written off as a hopeless case, has almost tripled its food production in the last 30 years. Laborers in Russia expect a regular portion of meat, and Chinese peasants no longer suffer from the famines that in the past have swept over the land. Despite the real progress, however, there are still more hungry people in the world than ever beforeboth in absolute numbers and as a percentage of total world population. The rising cost of food has contributed to this situation. By most estimates, more than 500 million people - roughly one out of every nine -suffer from serious malnutrition today, compared with 100 million to 200 million -one out of every 14 to 25 people - in the 1950's.

The early volunteers worked alone and did hard and unpleasant tasks. They devoted themselves to hours of unpaid work for the poor and helpless, never minding that few appreciated what they were doing for society. Up until about two decades ago, they had seldom received funds from the government or private organizations. This was so mainly because society paid little attention to their activities or achievements. Then, in the last ten to fifteen years, changes in society brought about a transformation of volunteerism. In the first place, more people and organizations wanted to be involved in helping solve social problems out of their love for humanity. Volunteers grew in number, organized themselves, and became professional. Secondly, society as a whole began to place a great value on the experience or training that comes from volunteer work. Many employers, for instance, are now looking for would-be workers with training. So those seeking a job - the young and the unskilled - realize that the best way to get hired is to acquire some _________ from volunteer work. The result has been a considerable increase in the number of volunteers in recent years.

Once upon a time, the animals organized a school. They adopted a curriculum consisting of running, climbing, swimming and flying. All animals took all the subjects. The duck was excellent in swimming, better in fact than his instructor, and made excellent grades in flying, but he was very poor in running. Since he was low in running he had to stay after school and also drop swimming to practice running. This was kept up until his feet were badly worn and he was only average in swimming. But average was acceptable in school, so nobody worried about that except the duck. The ( A ) was excellent in climbing until he developed frustrations in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the tree-top down. "He also developed charley horses from over-exertion and he got poor grades in climbing and running. The ( B ) was a problem child. In climbing class he beat all the others to the top of the tree, but insisted on using his own way of getting there. He had to be disciplined severely. The ( C ) started at the top of the class in running, but had a nervous breakdown because of so much time spent in making up for his poor performance in swimming and flying. So he dropped out of school and started his own private school for running and hopping.

It was one o'clock and I was hungry. I walked into a restaurant, and seated myself. My table companion rose. "Sir," said he, "do you wish to force your company on those who do not want you?" No, said I, I wish to eat. "Are you insisting on social equality?" Nothing of the sort, sir, it is hunger-and I ate. The day's work done, I sought a hotel. The clerk frowned. "What do you want?" Rest, I said, "This is a white hotel." he said. "We don't keep niggers, we don't want social equality." Neither do I, I replied gently, I want a bed. I walked thoughtfully to the train. I'll take a sleeper through Texas. "Can't sell you one." I only want to hire it, said I, for a couple of nights.
"Can't sell you a sleeper in Texas," he maintained. "They consider that social equality." I c onsi der i t barbarism, I said, and I think I'll walk. Walking, I met another wayfarer. He immediately walked to the other side of the road, where it was muddy. I asked his reason. "Niggers are dirty," he said. So is mud, said I. Moreover, I am not as dirty as you. "But you're a nigger, aren't you?" he asked. My grandfather was so called. "Well then!" he answered triumphantly. I gave up. Go on, I said, either you are crazy or I am.

In many countries, overcrowded cities face a major problem. This has been mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the cities hoping for better work and pay. Unfortunately, however, poor conditions in the urban areas, such as lack of housing, worsening sanitation and unemployment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing incentives for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health, and education services, should be improved to foster a more positive attitude to rural life. The improvement of rural lives is doubly important, because the cities themselves cannot be developed without the prior development of the rural areas. *sanitation : the use of means for protecting public health

(A)
In some Asian countries water is often taken from a well using a hand pump. The water is usually clean and safe to drink. In some villages people use earthen jars that help keep the water cool. On the other hand, the water for the fields is taken from a number of small ponds or streams. This water is carried into the fields through a long waterway. |
(B)
In some villages in many developing countries people obtain their water from ponds nearby. The water is not very clean but it is all they have. Women and children fill the buckets or cans with water and carry them back to their homes. In some countries, they make the water a little safer by passing it through a water filter. |

(A)
Schools should not impose religion or 'indoctrinate' children. Children come from many different cultural , ethnic and religious backgrounds. This means that it is difficult to agree on which set of values to teach. Even if they could agree on values, they still wouldn't know how to teach ethics outside of a framework provided by religion. Schools should stick to academics, leaving moral education to the parents and the community . |
(B)
American public schools neglected their role as moral educators. The high costs of this neglect have become unbearable. There are a lot of materialism and greed behind the public scandals. People try not to take responsibility for their actions. Employees often steal from their employers, and students cheat in their exams. The schools should go back to teaching the differences between right and wrong. |

Many people think of crisis as being connected only with unhappy events. "This is not the case," argued John. "There are the expected, maturational crises we experience at times of life development and change. Some examples are a child's first enrollment in school or his transfer at a later age to a new school, marriage, or election to puplic office. These events may hasten the occurrence of a crisis-both for the youngster and his parents." "But there is also an unexpected kind of crisis," added Mary. "This can stem from many sources such as having an automobile crash, being fired from a job, falling suddenly ill, becoming involved in a legal suit, or losing a large sum of money. Severe illness will create a crisis not only for the individual concerned but also for his family. And an illness may itself be caused by an emotional crisis like the death of parents." *maturational : 성장 과정의
