To whom it may concern:

My wife and I have lived in Smalltown for more than 60 years and have enjoyed Freer Park for all that time. When we were young and didn’t have the money to go anywhere else, we would walk there almost every day. Now we are seniors, and my wife must use a wheelchair for extended walks. We find that the beautiful walking paths through the park are all but impassable to her. The paths are cracked and littered with rocks and debris that make it impossible to roll her chair from place to place. We hope you will devote resources to restoring the walking paths in Freer Park for all visitors.

Sincerely,

Craig Thomas              * impassable: 지나갈 수 없는, 통행할 수 없는 ** debris: 파편, 쓰레기

When the vote was announced, my brain just would not work out the right percentages to discover whether we had the necessary two-thirds majority. Then one of the technicians turned to me with a big smile on his face and said, “You’ve got it!” At that moment, the cameras outside took over and out there in the yard there was a scene of joy almost beyond belief. Then the cameras came back to those of us who were in the studio. I managed to overcome my urge to burst into tears, and expressed my joy and delight that after all these years this had happened and my thanks to my daughters and my family who had shared in the struggle so long.

Study the lives of the great people who have made an impact on the world, and you will find that in virtually every case, they spent a considerable amount of time alone thinking. Every political leader who had an impact on history practiced the discipline of being alone to think and plan. Great artists spend countless hours in their studios or with their instruments not just doing, but exploring their ideas and experiences. Time alone allows people to sort through their experiences, put them into perspective, and plan for the future. I strongly encourage you to find a place to think and to discipline yourself to pause and use it because it has the potential to change your life. It can help you to figure out what’s really important and what isn’t.

Albert Einstein once boarded a train from Philadelphia. The conductor came around to punch the tickets and said, “Ticket, please.” Einstein reached into his vest pocket for the ticket, but did not find it. ① He checked his jacket pocket. No ticket. He checked his brief case. But still, ② he could not find his ticket. The conductor, noting ③ his obvious distress, kindly said, “I know who you are, Dr. Einstein. Don’t worry about your ticket.” Several minutes later the conductor turned around from the front of the traincar to see Einstein continuing to search under ④ his seat for the missing ticket. Quickly, he hurried back to assure the gray-haired gentleman. “Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, I know who you are!” ⑤ he repeated. “Please don’t worry about your ticket.” Dr. Einstein slowly arose from his knees and addressed the young conductor. “Son, you don’t understand. I, too, know who I am. What I don’t know is where I’m going.”

Shopping for new things can turn into a hobby in itself. If you want to save your money, try finding pleasure in creating things rather than buying things. We get the same kind of satisfaction from making things that we do from buying things. If you draw something you’re proud of or write something you enjoy, you’ve now got a new thing in your life that makes you happy. Buying a new gadget might give you a similar rush, but it probably won’t last long. Of course, our recommendation can cost money, too. However, when you can’t spend money, you can always learn more about your craft online or practice with what you already have. Even if you spend money, you’re at least improving a skill rather than buying things that lose their value.

* gadget: 기계류, 기계, 장치

① misconceptions about gadget collecting as a hobby

② why creating things is better than shopping

③ negative effects of expensive hobbies

④ ways to purchase clothing wisely

⑤ shopping for clothes as a hobby

6. 다음 글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은?

Overprotective parents spare kids from all natural consequences. Unfortunately, their kids often lack a clear understanding of the reasons behind their parents’ rules. They never learn how to bounce back from failure or how to recover from mistakes because their parents prevented them from making poor choices. Rather than learning, “I should wear a jacket because it’s cold outside,” a child may conclude, “I have to wear a jacket because my mom makes me.” Without an opportunity to experience real-world consequences, kids don’t always understand why their parents make certain rules. Natural consequences prepare children for adulthood by helping them think about the potential consequences of their choices.

Why doesn’t the modern American accent sound similar to a British accent? After all, didn’t the British colonize the U.S.? Experts believe that British residents and the colonists who settled America all sounded the same back in the 18th century. In fact, they probably all sounded like modern Americans. The accent that we think of as British today formed during the American Revolution. People of low rank who became wealthy during the Industrial Revolution wanted to sound different from other commoners. These people developed new ways of speaking to set themselves apart and demonstrate their new, elevated	. In the 19th century, this distinctive accent was standardized and was taught to people who wanted to learn to speak fashionably.

④ colonial involvement	⑤ intellectual achievements

It’s hard enough to stick with your goals, but sometimes we make goals we don’t really want in the first place. We make a resolve based on what we’re supposed to do, or what others think we’re supposed to do, rather than what really matters to us. This makes it nearly impossible to stick to the goal. For example, reading more is a good habit when you actually want to learn more. However, if you’re only doing it because you feel like that’s what you’re supposed to do, you’re going to have a hard time reaching the goal. Instead, make goals based on	. Now, this isn’t to say you should read less. The idea is to first consider what matters to you, then figure out what you need to do to get there.

① your moral duty	② a strict deadline	③ your own values

④ parental guidance	⑤ job market trends

Studying history can make you more knowledgeable or interesting to talk to or can lead to all sorts of brilliant vocations, explorations, and careers. ① But even more importantly, studying history helps us ask and answer humanity’s Big Questions. ② If you want to know why something is happening in the present, you might ask a sociologist or an economist. ③ But if you want to know deep background, you ask historians. ④ A career as a historian is a rare job, which is probably why you have never met one. ⑤ That’s because they are the people who know and understand the past and can explain its complex interrelationships with the present.

If you make a small request and have people accept it, they’ll be more likely to accept a bigger request afterwards.

(A) After this, the salesperson asks you if you are interested in buying any cruelty-free cosmetics from their store. Considering that most people agree to the prior request to sign the petition, they will be more likely to purchase the cosmetics.

(B) For instance, a salesperson might request you to sign a petition to prevent cruelty against animals. This is a very small request, and most people will do what the salesperson asks.

(C) They make such purchases because the salesperson takes advantage of a human tendency to be consistent in their words and actions. People want to be consistent and will keep saying yes if they have already said it once.

So skin cells, hair cells, and nail cells no longer produce new cells.

Do hair and fingernails continue to grow after a person dies? The short answer is no, though it may not seem that way to the casual observer. ( ① ) That’s because after death, the human body dehydrates, causing the skin to shrink, or become smaller. ( ② ) This shrinking exposes the parts of the nails and hair that were once under the skin, causing them to appear longer than before. ( ③ ) Typically, fingernails grow about 0.1 millimeters a day, but in order to grow, they need glucose ㅡ a simple sugar that helps to power the body. ( ④ ) Once the body dies, there’s no more glucose. ( ⑤ ) Moreover, a complex hormonal regulation directs the growth of hair and nails, none of which is possible once a person dies.

* dehydrate: 수분이 빠지다 ** glucose: 포도당

Children are much more resistant to giving something to someone else than to helping them. One can observe this difference clearly in very young children. Even though one-and-a-half-year-olds will support each other in difficult situations, they are not willing to share their own toys with others. The little ones even defend their possessions with screams and, if necessary, blows. This is the daily experience of parents troubled by constant quarreling between toddlers. There was no word I heard more frequently than “Mine!” from my daughters when they were still in diapers.

* toddler: (걸음마를 배우는) 아기

(A)

A long time ago, there was a boy. He was smart, talented, and handsome. However, he was very selfish, and his temper was so difficult that nobody wanted to be his friend. Often, (a) he got angry and said hurtful things to people around him.

(B)

The number of nails the boy drove into the fence each day gradually decreased. Eventually, the boy started to understand that holding his temper was easier than driving nails into the fence. (b) He didn’t need the hammer and nails anymore when he learned to hold his temper. He went to his father and shared (c) his achievement. “Now every time you hold your temper all day long, pull out one nail.”

(C)

Much time passed. At last, the boy was proud of himself as all the nails were gone. He found his father and explained this. Together, they went to the fence, and (d) he said, “You did a good job, my son, but pay attention to the holes left from the nails. The fence will never be the same. The same happens when you say hurtful things to people. Your words leave scars in their hearts like those holes in the fence.”

(D)

The boy’s parents were concerned about his bad temper. One day, the father had an idea. He called his son and gave (e) him a hammer and a bag of nails. The father said, “Every time you get angry, take a nail, and drive it into that old fence as hard as you can.” The fence was very tough, and the hammer was heavy. Nevertheless, he was so furious that during the very first day he drove in 37 nails.
