Humans are champion long-distance runners. As soon as a person and a chimpanzee start running they both get hot. The chimpanzee quickly gets too hot to keep running, but a person is able to keep running. This is because humans are much better at getting rid of body heat. According to one leading theory, human ancestors lost their hair over time because less hair meant they would be cooler when running long distances. That ability let our ancestors move and run faster than their prey. Try wearing a couple of extra jackets or fur coats on a hot humid day and run a mile. Now, take those jackets off and try it again. You’ll see what a difference                     makes.

① hot weather

② a lack of fur

③ muscle strength

④ excessive exercise

⑤ a diversity of species

From the beginning of civilization, people have developed particular expertise within their family group or society. They have become the local expert on farming, medicine, manufacturing, music, storytelling, cooking, hunting, fighting, or one of many other specialties. One individual may have some expertise in more than one skill, perhaps several, but never all, and never in every aspect of any one thing. No chef can cook all dishes. No one has ever been able to do everything. So we                    . That’s the biggest advantage of living in social groups. This makes it easy to share our skills and knowledge. Whenever we wash dishes, for example, we thank heaven that someone knows how to make dish soap and someone else knows how to provide warm water from the water tank. We’re generally doing things with the help of others.

* expertise: 전문 지식

① work jointly

② learn quickly

The mind is essentially a survival machine. Although it is good at attack and defense against other minds, gathering, storing, and analyzing information, it is not at all creative. All true artists create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. Even great scientists have reported that their creative discoveries came at a time of mental quietude. A nationwide inquiry was conducted among America’s most famous mathematicians, including Einstein, to find out their working methods. The surprising result was that thinking “plays only a supporting part in the brief, decisive phase of the creative act itself.” So I would say that the simple reason why the majority of scientists are not creative is not because they don’t know how to think, but because they don’t know how to                    !

* quietude: 정적

① organize their ideas

② interact socially

③ stop thinking

④ gather information

⑤ use their imagination

One real concern in the marketing industry today is how to                     in the age of the remote control and mobile devices. With the growing popularity of digital video recorders, consumers can mute, fast-forward, and skip over commercials entirely. Some advertisers are trying to adapt to these technologies, by planting hidden coupons in frames of their television commercials. Others are desperately trying to make their advertisements more interesting and entertaining to discourage viewers from skipping their ads; still others are simply giving up on television advertising altogether. Some industry experts predict[that cable providers and advertisers will eventually be forced to provide incentives in order to encourage consumers to watch their messages. These incentives may come in the form of coupons, or a reduction in the cable bill for each advertisement watched.

* mute: 음소거하다

① guide people to be wise consumers

② reduce the cost of television advertising

③ keep a close eye on the quality of products

④ make it possible to deliver any goods any time

⑤ win the battle for broadcast advertising exposure

Go! 高!

When he was dying, the contemporary Buddhist teacher Dainin Katagiri wrote a remarkable book called Returning to Silence. Life, he wrote, “is a dangerous situation.” It is the weakness of life that makes it precious; his words are filled with the very fact of his own life passing away. “The china bowl is beautiful because sooner or later it will break.... The life of the bowl is always existing in a dangerous situation.” Such is our struggle: this unstable beauty. This inevitable wound. We easily forget that love and loss are very closely related. And we forget that we love the real flower so much more than the plastic one and love the cast of twilight across a mountainside lasting only a moment. It is this very                     that opens our hearts.

① fragility

② stability

③ harmony

④ satisfaction

⑤ diversity
