It was weird being back at Foothills Hospital, in the same room where she rested after going through many hours of labor and finally giving birth to me. There were beautiful hand-painted pictures on the wall and a clock that ticked so loud that it sounded like a timer on an explosive. In the corner was a vase of flowers surrounded by gifts, get-well cards and stuffed animals. I sat on the left side of the bed holding her hand. “Mom,” I said. “Today I bought a new watch. It has a video game built into it!” Usually, stuff like that would get me into lots of trouble, because she didn’t want me to waste money on stupid things. Today was an exception, though; today, she didn’t say a word. It was the only time I ever wished that I would get yelled at, but she just lay there asleep.

'Pride,' observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections, is a very ①common failing I believe. By all that I have ever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of us who do not ②cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other, real or imaginary. Vanity and pride are ③similar things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride ④relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

When my eighth-grade teacher announced a graduation trip to Washington, D.C., it never crossed my mind that I would be left behind. We would visit Glen Echo Amusement Park in Maryland. My heart beating wildly, I raced home to deliver the news. But when my mother found out how much the trip cost, she just shook her head. We couldn't afford it. After feeling sad for 10 seconds, I decided to try to earn money for myself. For the next eight weeks, I sold candy bars, delivered newspapers and mowed lawns. Three days before the deadline, I'd made just barely enough. I was going!

It seems odd that a sound can sometimes be heard at its source and (A)vanish / appear at a distance, only to be heard again still farther away. For a long time this “zone of silence” defeated all attempts at its explanation. At length a meteorologist discovered that layers of air of different temperature interfere with sound. Since the air immediately above the ground is usually warmer than that in higher layers the sound waves are deflected diagonally upwards. The consequences are easily deduced. A certain distance from the source a sound becomes (B)inaudible / audible because it passes over our heads. At a height of about twenty-five miles, however, there is usually another layer of warm air and this deflects the sound back towards the earth. This explains why there is a region of audibility (C)within / beyond the zone of silence.

There are subtle signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings. ①Breaking eye contact is a good way of signaling to the other person that you are ready to end the conversation. ②Another way to signal that a conversation is coming to an end is to use transition words like "Well" or "At any rate," or even statements like "It was really nice talking to you." ③The ability to converse with those you encounter without effort is a very important element of all your personal and business relationships. ④When you leave, it's essential to leave a positive final impression as the initial impression you made.

A responsible tourist understands that it’s much easier to protect the environment than to restore it. There are many simple things you can do ① to protect nature when you travel. Don’t buy souvenirs that are made from endangered plants or animals like coral or ivory. If no one bought those items, people would stop ② killing those endangered animals. Responsible tourism also considers local resources. One five-star hotel in Goa, on the west coast of India, uses as much water as five local villages, and one person staying there ③ use 28 times more electricity than a local resident. A responsible tourist should not use more than he must. Responsible tourism also aims to lower carbon emissions in order to reduce global warming. If possible, take a train or bus instead of an airplane. For short distances, ride a bicycle or walk. Walking is best for nature, and lets you ④ get to know the place you’re visiting more closely.

Imagine that opportunities fall in the form of rain, and you are standing in that rain holding an umbrella. Even though the raindrops are abundant, you aren't catching any of them. But suppose that underneath the edges of the umbrella is a circle of buckets. As you stand holding the umbrella perfectly straight, most of the raindrops fall off the edges down into the empty buckets, with some falling in between. If these buckets have no purpose, they will have no meaning for you, and the raindrops will be wasted.

(A) The concept of laissez faire is often paired with capitalism, an economic system that is based on private ownership of the factors of production. Capitalism, the foundation of market economies, operates on the belief that, on their own, producers will create the goods and services that consumers demand.
(B) Therefore, according to laissez faire capitalism, there is no need for government involvement in the marketplace. This laissez faire capitalism is a market economy in its pure form. However, there are no pure market economies - all real-world market economies have some degree of government involvement.
(C) Sometimes the government's economic role is to stay out of the marketplace. The principle that the government should not interfere in the economy is called laissez faire, a French phrase meaning "leave things alone."

Most people think the world is ( ) to them. They allow events to pass without connecting them to other events. Whatever happens, and there's nothing else to it. Unlike most people, scientists see the world in a very orderly way. They look for what goes with what. Events and conditions are not ( ); they have cause and effect. Scientists everywhere, all the time, see connections because they are looking for connections. What happens when you throw a rock up in the air? It comes back down every time. That is the pattern, the essence of science.

Dear Amy,
Don't give up! I know you can do this assignment. I think you need to start by changing the way you look at yourself and your metaphor. You have already come up with many things that are half one thing and half another thing.
I want you to make a list of things that are good combinations of two parts. There are lots of things that are better when they're combined with something else. Here, I'll start your list: peanut butter and jelly are better together than they are apart. And think about all those exciting varieties of hybrid roses.
If you keep on going with this list, I think you can finish the assignment by Friday. If you're still stuck, come and talk to me before then.
Mrs. Thomas

In sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a sleeping baby stops breathing and dies. In the United States, SIDS strikes about two of every thousand infants, usually when they are two to four months old. SIDS is less common in cultures where infants and parents sleep in the same bed, suggesting that        may be important. Indeed, about half of apparent SIDS cases maybe accidental suffocations caused when infants lie face down on soft surfaces. Other SIDS cases may stem from problems with brain systems regulating breathing or from exposure to cigarette smoke.

We humans are not bad at smelling. We can distinguish about 10,000 different smells, and we do it in just a few milliseconds. But we use our brains for all kinds of other things, like interpreting images from our eyes and engaging in a variety of mental activities. Other animals don’t have this kind of distraction, so their sense of smell is much better than ours. Sharks, for example, can smell 10,000 times better than we do. Salmon are even better. It is known that they can smell 30,000 times better than us. Many scientists believe that's how they smell their way back home when they are ready to give birth. For fish like these, the whole world must be full of patterns of scents. By contrast, for us, the world is full of patterns of sights.

Some societies have a custom called the couvade. The couvade is a ceremony in which the husband acts as if he is suffering from labor pains at the same time that his wife actually gives birth. Although no one seems able to explain fully the meaning of the couvade, there are several theories. According to one, the couvade is a way of warding off evil spirits. In effect, the husband directs attention away from his wife and toward himself. Another theory speculates that the couvade is a way of publicly identifying the father so that his paternity will not be in doubt.

Conjoined twins are usually classified into three basic categories depending on       .
Twins of the first type are conjoined in a way that never involves the heart or the midline of the body. For example, about 2 percent of all conjoined twins are attached at the head only, and about 19 percent are joined at the buttocks. Twins of the second type are always joined in a way that involves the midline of the body. Many twins joined at the midline share a heart. Around 35 percent are fused together at the upper half of the trunk. Another 30 percent are joined at the lower half of their bodies. Finally, the third major type of conjoined twins includes the very rare forms. In this category are those in which one twin is smaller, less formed, and dependent on the other, as well as the cases involving one twin born completely within the body of his or her sibling.

We should endeavor to give our children a wholesome variety of mental food, and to cultivate their tastes and ①stimulate their interests, rather than to fill their minds with dry facts. The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to ②learn. What does it matter if the pupil knows a little more or a little less? A boy who leaves school knowing ③less, but hating his lessons, will soon have forgotten almost all he ever learnt; while another who has acquired a thirst for ④knowledge, even if he had learnt little, will soon teach himself more than the first ever knew.

We will continue to invest in the education of our children, all of our children. There are other challenges before us that did not arise yesterday and that will not be solved tomorrow.

다음 글의 San Francisco에 대한 내용으로 옳지 않은 것은?
What can you expect when you arrive in San Francisco? High rent! Rents have been rising for the last few years, and it doesn't seem as if they will come down. Everybody complains about the high cost of living in San Francisco, but few complain about the quality of life here. San Francisco is a most active city, and also many people say that it is the "most European city" in the United States. I've never seen any European city like San Francisco that can take so many different cultures so comfortably.

People have to pay much money when renting a house.

Many people think that the quality of life is not good.

The city is said to be very lively.

Many different cultures are mixed harmoniously.

While European artists had developed a tradition of working in a realistic style, other cultures had a long tradition of abstract art form. Some native American artists also work in an abstract style. Navajo Indian artists make abstract paintings that do not use oil paints, watercolors, or any kind of wet materials. Their artworks are called sand paintings because the artist's materials are crushed charcoal, cornmeal, crushed rocks, and sand. The artist makes a sand painting by pouring these materials onto the ground according to one of hundreds of traditional designs. It is a delicate task to make this kind of artwork because, as you can imagine, once the materials are poured it is very hard to correct mistakes.

Thousands of discarded computers from Western Europe and the U.S.A. arrive in the ports of West Africa every day, ending up in massive toxic dumps, where children burn and pull them apart to extract metals for cash. The exportation of the developed world's electronic trash, or e-waste, is in direct violation of international legislation and is causing serious health problems for the inhabitants of the area. Apparently, dishonest waste merchants unload millions of tons of dangerous waste in the developing world by claiming that it will be used in schools and hospitals. Campaigners are calling for better policing of the ban on exports of e-waste, which can release lead, mercury, and other dangerous chemicals.

Driving home through the quiet lane early one morning, my headlights picked out a shape in the middle of the road. Only at the last moment did the shape turn its head and look straight at me. The owl apparently neither heard nor saw my car coming. It was too late. There was nothing I could do. There was a horrible sound as I hit the bird head-on. I thought about stopping to see if it was lying injured yet alive by the side of the road, but decided that it wouldn't have stood a chance. I tried to put the incident out of my mind as I drove home, only to be confronted a new horror when I got out of the car. The evening had taken a distinctively dreadful turn. I discovered that the owl had gotten stuck in my radiator grill.

Avalanches are among the world’s most dangerous natural disasters. Fortunately, they usually occur in remote mountain areas, where they threaten neither human life nor property.
(A) Suddenly they were overtaken by an avalanche that left only a few survivors. Three members of the party were buried in the snow. When, after almost half a century, the bodies were found, they were perfectly preserved.
(B) They were so well preserved, in fact, that a surviving member of the original party, by then an old man, was able to recognize them.
(C) Occasionally, however, an avalanche can strike without warning, taking hikers and skiers by surprise. This is precisely what happened more than a century ago when a small group of mountain climbers tried to scale the huge alpine peak Mont Blanc.
