It was in the spring of his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, then a country school teacher, and in the following spring I came crying into the world. Something happened to the two people. They became ambitious. The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them. It may have been that mother was responsible. Being a school teacher, she had no doubt read books and magazines. She had, I suppose, read of Garfield, Lincoln, and other Americans rose from poverty to fame and greatness and as I lay beside she may have dreamed that I would some day rule men and cities.

 But nature has solved this problem for the flounder.
The flounder is a kind of flatfish. The odd thing about this fish is that both its eyes are on the same side of its head. ( ① ) Flounder are not born that way, though. When a flounder hatched, it looks like any other fish. As it grows, however, its body becomes flattened. ( ② ) One side of the fish is white and the other is a sandy color. The flounder lies on its white side on the ocean floor. Its sandy-colored side faces up. ( ③ ) This makes the flounder blend in with the sand, so it can`t be easily seen. For any other fish, this would cause a problem. One eye would be looking right into the sand. ( ④ ) As the fish grows, the eye on the bottom moves to the upper side.

The common plant starch-found in flour, cereal grains and potatoes-is built of glucose. Starch can be split in several ways and eventually yields glucose. Digestion is one such way. After digestion takes place the glucose goes into the blood and is burned. Some glucose may not be burned. The liver takes it and converts it to glycogen. The body then stores this glycogen until the body is hungry, at which time it is digested again.

* When is glycogen used by the body?

After it has been split.

Shortly after being burned.

Once the body has stored it.

When the body needs energy.

Hibernation of bears presents several wonders to us. Although they are mammals, their life is a repetition of winter sleep and a preparation period unlike humans. Basically, the bear stocks up energy before winter and expends it during hibernation. In the process, the bear's body goes through drastic change. The preparation for hibernation starts as early as summer. Bears gain weight up to 15kg to 20kg per week by eating everything available. The energy is stored in the form of fat under the skin, which grows inches thick at its peak.
As winter approaches, the bear slows down its activity and eventually goes into a winter sleep in its cave. The bear sleeps until winter is over unless it gets disturbed. During the winter, the bear does not eat or drink for almost 100 days, and it loses between 15% to 40% of its weight just by sleeping. Despite the tremendous change in the body, virtually every single bear survives this long starvation period. In late spring, when the food is in great supply again, the bear walks out from the cave and resumes its life.

Many experts think that the artists in prehistoric times believed they captured the animal's soul when they painted it. ①This could be why the images are so lifelike. ②According to their belief, if the artists captured an animal's true likeness, they would be sure to capture the real thing during the hunt. ③Prehistoric men hunted bulls, bison and mammoths for their survival. ④Whatever the paintings meant, surely no one would have crawled so deep into these caves to paint had the pictures not had a special meaning. The dark caves were sacred places for prehistoric people, and this art was part of their beliefs.

In 1960, presidential candidates Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy agreed to a series of debates, which were broadcast simultaneously on television and radio. According to surveys, most radio listeners felt that Nixon had won the debates, while television viewers picked the younger, more photogenic Kennedy.
Kennedy went on to win the general election that fall. Television coverage was also influential during the Vietnam War. By the mid-1960s, major networks were broadcasting daily images of the war into virtually every home in the United States. For many viewers, the horrors they saw on television were more significant than the optimistic reports of impending victory issued by government officials and repeated in print accounts.

For the normal emotional and physical development of infants, sensory and perceptual stimulation is necessary. Healthy babies experience this stimulation while in contact with the mother or other adults who feed, diaper, or wash the infant. However, infants who are born prematurely or are sick miss these experiences during the early weeks of their lives when they live in incubators, an artificial environment devoid of normal stimuli. These babies tend to become listless and seem uninterested in their surroundings. However, when they are stimulated by being handled and spoken to and by being provided with bright objects such as hanging mobiles or pictures, they began to respond by smiling, becoming more active physically, and gaining weight more rapidly.
⇨ According to the passage, premature infants cared for in incubators, when compared with full-term infants, are likely to  .

gain weight more rapidly

receive more natural stimulation

respond more to bright objects

You can see this in the way Americans treat their children. Even very young children are given opportunities to make their own choices and express their opinions. A parent will ask a one-year-old child what color balloon he or she wants, which candy bar he or she would prefer, or whether he or she wants to sit next to mommy or daddy. The child's preference will normally be accepted. Through this process, Americans come to consider themselves as equal beings with the right to have their own individual opinions and decisions respected. At the same time, they are also taught to respect the opinions and decisions of others.

Personal qualities generally have either positive or negative connotations. Our attitudes toward such personal qualities are partly personal, partly social, and partly cultural. Some people also feel that gender plays a role, with some qualities being more positively valued by women than by men and vice versa. Such attitudes are not always static, and they can change with changing economic and social circumstances. In some places, during the 1970s, ambition was seen to be bad, and then, during the 1980s, it was seen to be good. During the harsh economic times of the 1990s, a high value was placed on generosity and compassion.

Recently, scientists have discovered that ancient Egyptians mummified animals. Some of the animals found in tombs were pets such as cats, dogs, and rabbits. Scientists believe that animals were mummified using the same technique as for humans. Apparently, the early Egyptians had many household pets and were quite fond of them. They believed their pets would live on into the afterlife to protect and comfort their masters. In addition, other animals have also been discovered. In other tombs, mummified bulls and crocodiles were found. For the ancient Egyptians, these animals were sacred and were the living spirits of gods. The Egyptians took good care of them while they were alive, and when they died, they buried them like kings.

다음 글의 필자가 느끼는 심정으로 가장 적절한 것은?
“I work at home for my children’s sake!” I repeat this to myself until maybe I can believe it. Too often lately I feel like the worst parent on the planet. As a freelance writer, I make my own hours and can work at home with my kids. A good deal, right? Not always. Some days I take four-year-old Hewson to the park. The older kids are at school, I’m staring at a deadline, but I’m eaten up with guilt because I’m not spending time with him. Then I think, Hey, I’m my own boss! We can go to the park! I can work while he plays - the best of both worlds. I grab my cell phone and my laptop, and pull into the park, thinking, Yes! You can have it all! The next thing I know, I’m sitting on a park bench with my laptop balanced on my knees while other mothers keep an eye on my son.

다음 글에서 “cloning"에 대한 필자의 태도로 가장 적절한 것은?
People seem to forget that nature has been "cloning" since the beginning of time. Identical twins are exactly the same cell-split into two. Despite this, they are different human beings with different "souls". Similarly, through technology we may create a being with identical attributes but cannot clone a soul. If, through cloning, we can eliminate many genetic disorders, then surely this should be welcomed as a wonderful opportunity. Though perfected, there may still be risks, as there are in choosing to vaccinate your child. But the potential benefits may far outweigh the risks. How can we allow ourselves and our children to suffer when there could be a solution?
