Recently, some people have been much more concerned with how wild animals can cross the road. |
(A) Animals are not the only victims. Every year, about 200 people die from car-wildlife collisions. To solve this problem, the government suggested building eco-passages to help animals cross the road without being hit by cars.
(B) According to the Federal Highway Administration reports, millions of animals die each year on the roads. In fact, in the case of endangered wildcats, only about 80 exist in the US today. The main reason is roadkill.
(C) Eco-passages are paths both over and under roads. They allow animals to cross safely, avoiding collisions with vehicles.

28. Nightmares are the type of dream everyone fears and wants to avoid. By their nature, these dreams are frightening, but often they need to be faced. The mind may be presenting them to us in such a dramatic manner because we have ignored a message for a long period of time.

Mom is in bed. The strong woman who I had thought to be with me forever is fading. She can't sit up and go to the bathroom by herself anymore. She can't even drink water without throwing it right back up. She's nothing but skin and bones now. While she keeps fighting, she looks more worried about me than herself. Seeing my poor condition, she said that I should go to a doctor and find out what's wrong with my body. “I'm fine, mama,” I said. “No, you're not,” she replied. “You look bad.

Late in the afternoon, my friends and I put up our tent in the middle of the field. After that, we cooked a meal over an open fire. After a wonderful meal, we told stories and sang songs by the camp fire. We felt tired, so we put out the fire and crept into our tent. Our sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so we all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two of us woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! We all leapt out of our sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and we looked at the field. A stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under the tent!

Sometimes, we tend to burn bridges with people to avoid unnecessary stress. For example, when we are mad at others, we overact and use very strong statements:“I'll never talk to you again,” “I've always hated you.” rather than finding a constructive way to express that anger. A bridge represents a connection between you and the other side. If you burned a bridge, you would be getting rid of a means of getting across. Likewise, when you burn a “human bridge,” you are closing a door permanently.

37. To make a lot of money quickly, people sometimes try to sell paintings that are imitations of the real thing. When the copies are done well, spotting them can be a major challenge, even for experts. Now, researchers say they have found a new way to tell the real from the fake. When an imitator tries to copy a master artist, his or her brush strokes would probably be different. A master might have smooth, consistent strokes, while an imitator moves roughly with many starts and stops in their strokes. This newly found technique can break the image of the paintings down and capture the touch of an artist's brush strokes. * a stroke : 일회의 붓질

But some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their handheld game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there. These patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on the games. For example, at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, young patients are finding hospital visits easier, thanks to a program. The program allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure games with each other. It brings together kids who feel they are isolated by their illnesses, and lets them know they are not alone.

43. Blood is the living fluid that all life is based on. Blood is composed of 60% liquid part and 40% solid part. The liquid part called Plasma is easily refilled by food, medicines, etc. But the solid part that contains red blood cells and white blood cells takes valuable time to be replaced if lost. Sometimes a patient's body might not be in a condition to replace it at all. Blood cannot be harvested and it can only be donated. This means only you can save a life that needs blood. Saving a life does not require heroic deeds. You could just do it with a small thought and an even smaller effort for saying “yes”.
① We should donate blood to others.

But when some people see negative experiences on their minds' screens, instead of quickly changing channels, they pull up a chair and get some popcorn, as if they're going to watch a good movie. They willingly allow themselves to relive all the hurt and pain. Then they wonder why they are depressed, upset, or discouraged. Learn to change the channel. Don't let your mind drag you down into despair.[3점]

Only a few decades ago, track-and-field experts declared that no runner could break the four-minute-mile barrier. Experts carried out all sorts of studies to show that it was not possible to beat the four-minute barrier. And for years, they were right. Nobody ever ran a mile in less than four minutes. But one day a young man came along who didn't believe the experts' sayings. He began to train, believing he was going to break that record. Sure enough, he went out one day and broke the four-minute-mile barrier. He made sports history. Interestingly, within ten years after he broke that record, 336 other runners had broken the four-minute-mile record as well!

Person A Mobile phones are causing increasing problems in schools as they become a ‘must have’ accessory for teenagers. Teachers said they had taken a tough line because too many lessons were being interrupted by ringing phones or children sending text messages. They were also concerned about the theft of mobiles and their potential to be used for bullying purposes. I think that it is incredibly insulting to the teacher if a phone should go off in the middle of the lesson. It makes everybody lose their concentration, which means it destroys .
* bully : 괴롭히다
Person B I believe the rule that doesn't allow students to use mobile phones in school is unfair. And this rule also ignores important safety issues. Many students say that parents whose children come home by themselves, want to keep in touch with them by mobile. Mobile phones are incredibly good safety devices for students to have with them both before and after school. The challenge is controlling their use of the phones during school time. By ensuring that school policies include mobile phones and that the student body understands those policies, schools can limit the use of the technology at inappropriate times. * student body : 학생회

Backstage someone stopped him and said, “I thought you had to go after a few minutes. What happened?” Jimmy answered, “I did have to go, but I can show you the reason I stayed.
