There are many evolutionary or cultural reasons for cooperation. One of the most important means of cooperation is the eyes. Eye contact may be the most powerful human force we lose while driving. It is, arguably, the reason why humans can become so noncooperative on the road, although they are normally a quite cooperative species. Most of the time we are moving too fast ― we begin to lose the ability to keep eye contact around 20 miles per hour ― or it is not safe to look. Maybe our view is blocked. Often other drivers are wearing sunglasses, or their car may have tinted windows. Sometimes we make eye contact through the rearview mirror, but it feels weak, not quite believable at first, because it is not “face-to-face.”

* tinted: 색이 옅게 들어간

□

While driving, people become     (A)     , because they make     (B)     eye contact.

(A)                (B)                 (A)                (B)

Crows are a remarkably clever family of birds. They can solve many more complex problems when they're compared to other birds, such as chickens. After hatching, chickens are able to peck for their own food. On the other hand, crows rely on the parent bird for food in the nest. However, as adults, chickens have very limited hunting skills, while crows are much more flexible in hunting for food. Crows also end up with bigger and more complex brains. Their extended period between hatching and leaving the nest enables them to develop intelligence.

* peck: (모이를) 쪼아 먹다

□

Crows are more     (A)      than chickens because crows have a longer period of     (B)    .

(A)                (B)                   (A)                   (B)

① intelligent   ……  dependency          ② passive     ……  dependency

③ selfish      ……  competition          ④ intelligent   ……  competition

⑤ passive     ……  hunting

In one experiment, two groups of subjects observed a person solve 30 multiple-choice problems. In all cases, 15 of the problems were solved correctly. One group of subjects saw the person solve more problems correctly in the first half. Another group saw the person solve more problems correctly in the second half. The group that saw the person perform better on the initial examples rated the person as more intelligent. They also recalled that he had solved more problems correctly while the other group formed the opposite opinion. Once an opinion on the initial set of data is formed, when opposing evidence is presented it can be discounted. This is done by attributing later performance to some other cause.

* subject: 실험 대상자 ** attribute ~ to ...: ~을 …의 탓으로 돌리다

□

People tend to form an opinion based on     (A)     data, and when evidence against the opinion is presented, it is likely to be     (B)    .

(A)          (B)                 (A)           (B)

① more    ……  accepted         ② more   ……   tested

③ earlier  ……   ignored          ④ earlier  ……  accepted

⑤ easier   ……  ignored

Every year the number of people living in Africa and Asia increases. As the  human populations grow, their need for land and resources also increases. By cutting the trees and building houses, people change natural habitats into farmland. Their homes stand in places where elephants once lived. Elephants seeking food and water are forced to look elsewhere. With farmland dotting the landscape, elephants now cannot travel freely. Without the ability to migrate across the continent, they are cut off from elephant society. Furthermore, sharing land puts humans and elephants in closer contact. For some elephant populations, this contact means trouble. Wild elephants have been seen with wounds from bullets and other weapons. Some have lost their tusks after being caught.

* tusk: (코끼리 따위의) 엄니〔상아〕

□

Growth of human populations in Africa and Asia leads to    (A)    into elephant habitats, limiting elephants’ movement along with     (B)     acts done to them.

(A)              (B)                    (A)                (B)

① expansion   ……  useful               ② expansion   ……  cruel

③ reduction   ……  cruel                ④ reduction   ……   unfair

⑤ migration   ……  useful

Go! 高!

In a study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg and his co-author, psychologist Margo Gardner divided 306 people into three age groups: young adolescents, with an average age of 14; older adolescents, with an average age of 19; and adults, aged 24 and older. Subjects played a computerized driving game in which the player must avoid crashing into a wall that appears, without warning, on the roadway. Steinberg and Gardner randomly assigned some participants to play alone or with two same-age peers looking on. On an index of risky driving, the driving of older adolescents was 1.5 times more dangerous, and the driving of early ones was twice as reckless when others were around. In contrast, adults behaved in similar ways regardless of whether they were on their own or observed by others.

* index: 지수 ** reckless: 무모한

□

The    (A)    of peers makes adolescents, but not adults, more likely to    (B)   .

(A)                (B)                       (A)                (B)

① presence    ……   take risks               ② presence  ……  behave cautiously

③ indifference  ……  perform poorly          ④ absence   ……  enjoy adventures

⑤ absence      ……  act independently
