To remain unworried by failure is as difficult as to remain unspoilt by success. The reaction of the world to the former condition is pity at best, and at the worst contempt, while the latter is usually greeted with an admiration deeply colored with envy. Some failure there must be in every life. The comedian who believes that he has failed because he was never given an opportunity to play Hamlet, has already succeeded in gaining the delighted applause of vast audiences. The author who has failed as a poet may become famous as a writer of prose, although he may not find that a great consolation. Goethe, for instance, in spite of his enormous reputation, was bitterly hurt because he was not also applauded as a scientist.
Failure is often more (A) than (B) .
(A) (B)
comic tragic
seeming real
useful harmful
complex simple
pitiful contemptible

There is the vague sense we all have that foreign languages are inherently absurd: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can't they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: 'Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,' they feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized. Then there are the people who feel that since snakes are 'nasty, slimy creature/(incidentally, snakes are not slimy) the word 'snake' is a nasty, slimy word.
Man must be faithful to his feelings.
Language is a proper symbol for all things.
English and American tourists are conceited.
We have a tendency to think much of foreign languages.
Symbols and the things symbolized are irrelevant to each other.

Outside the closed curtains of the bedroom, a vast transformation scene is taking place, just as if a myriad of elves and brownies were at work, and we turn and yawn and stretch and know nothing about it. And then, what an extraordinary change it is! It is as if the house youare in had been dropped down in another continent. Even the inside, which 몬 not been touched, seems different, every room appearing smaller and cozier, just as if some power were trying to turn it into a woodcutter's hut or a snug log cabin. Outside, where the garden was yesterday, there is now a white and glistening level, and the village beyond is no longer your own familiar cluster of roofs but a village in an old fairy-tale.

An Englishman grumbles a great deal, but this is in the nature of the English, who, beneath all their complaints and grievances, entertain a considerable satisfaction with themselves, their island, their empire, and their general superiority. He grumbles about his climate, his government, his beer, his income tax; but on the whole he would reject with scorn the idea of changing over to any other country. Nor will he endure seeing his island attacked, whether by foreign criticism or foreign invasion. It has, according to him, an impossible climate, stupid-headed rulers, no consideration for the workingman, but all the same it is his island and nobody else may lay a finger across it.

The term "primitive art" has been used to describe artists who have received little professional training and who demonstrate a nontraditional purity in their work. A wonderful example of these artists is Grandma Moses, who spent all her life living in a farm and working at tasks normally associated with farm life. She did not begin painting until she reached the age of 76, when she switched to painting from embroidery because the arthritis in her hands made embroidery too difficult. Totally without formal education in art, she began creating panoramic images of everyday life on the farm that has achieved international fame.

This is what we call clear thought. Having this means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. This means that you buy the food you need for a dinner party with enough time to cook it, but not so early that you need to store the food. This tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. This does not seem to be common for large governments because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in government, "The right hand doe not know what the left hand is doing."

A woman took her mother on a tour of Europe. After she had gone a while, her husband decided to surprise her with a call, only to realize that he didn't have her schedule. He finally got the information he needed from the travel agency. Carefully waiting until it was early morning in Italy, he put the call through, but the person who answered the phone didn't know English. Finally, after much difficulty, someone was found who understood him and rang his wife's room. A sleepy voice answered. "Good morning," the husband said brightly, determined not to sound frustrated despite the trouble and costly delays. "This is your wake-up call." "Thank you," his wife replied and hung up.

The child who finds a brother or sister preferred before himself acquires the habit of envy, and when he goes out into the world, he looks for injustices of which he is the victim, perceive them at once if they occur, and imagines them if they do not. Such a man is inevitably unhappy, and becomes a nuisance to his friends, who cannot be always remembering to . Another misfortune in childhood which has the same result is to have parents without much parental feeling. Without having an unduly favored brother or sister, a child may perceive that the children in other families are more loved by their mother and father than he is.

Whenever he travels, the Dalai Lama gives off warmth and friendliness; even those meeting him for the first time often say that it is likely to meet with an old friend. For a man of 65, he displays a remarkable vitality and a sense of humor. He laughs easily, yet he is equally quick to engage in serious discussion, tackling difficult problems in a thoughtful and intelligent manner. When asking how he perceives his own self-identity, the Dalai Lama remarks that he identifies most strongly with his role as a simple Buddhist monk. A monk from a very early age, his daily routine includes rising at 3:30 each morning and spends several hours in prayer and meditation. While his daily practice may include several different types of meditations, the Dalai Lama often recommends a particular form of Buddhist meditation calling analytic meditation.

Why is a fish much more efficient at moving through the water than a ship with a propeller? Well, a propeller creates a long spinning stream of water that stretches behind the ship, robbing energy and slowing the ship down. But the flapping fail of a fish is quite different. As it sweeps to one side, it creates, say, a clockwise spinning stream in the water. But when the tail flips back in the other direction, it creates an anticlockwise stream. Then, the anticlockwise vortex runs into the clockwise and when they meet they force water away from the fish. If the water is forced backwards, there's a reaction that pushes the fish forwards. Because of this marvelously simple mechanism, fish use hardly any energy to move through the water. However, making an exact copy of a fish, with a smooth and flexible body, is way beyond what we can build into the robots of today.

Why would an animal want to cooperate with a human? The behaviorist would say that animals cooperate when they learn it is in their interest to cooperate. But I don't think this goes far enough, if we remember that some rewards are more important than others. Certainly with humans, the reinforcement that comes from self-respect, dignity, and accomplishment can be far more motivating than material rewards. Is it also possible that it is important for an animal to feel that it has some purpose, that for social animals that purpose involves meaningful interactions with others, and that the self-respect gained from cooperation might be more important than getting a biscuit as a reward? Zookeepers recognize this. Through enrichment programs, a cheetah might still feel the thrill of the hunt by chasing after make-believe prey in a specially constructed race.

the effect of zoos on humanity
the human's unique feeling of self-respect
the possibility of animals having motivation

Research has shown that when people are alone they rarely laugh, even though the same example of humor makes them do so in a room full of people. There is a strong social aspect to the way people respond to humor. If you watch your favorite comedy in the presence of people who remain straight-faced, it can stop you from finding it so funny. Because it's important to sense other people responding to humor, "canned laughter" is used for television or radio comedy. The same joke can work brilliantly in one context and die in another, as stand-up comedians find, travelling from one place to another. Like other aspects of language, humor is a way in which people show their allegiance to a group. If someone signals his intention to say something humorous, the listeners are immediately ready to laugh.
Laughter is the best medicine.
A special tool makes people laugh.
Comedy can heal the loneliness.
Some people keep others from laughing.
People laugh in company.
18. 다음은 교육에 관한 글의 일부이다. 빈 칸 (A)에 쓸 내용으로 가장 적절한 것은?
Each stage of education has to make up for the methods of the earlier one. The methods are not wrong. It is right for students in elementary school to learn that 80 percent of success is showing up on time. So our sixth-graders do well if they show up and pay attention. But by high school they have learned to their dismay that showing up is not enough and that a successful student has to memorize things at home, too.
( A )
The hob in college, however, is to understand. College teachers have to work hard to drive out the notion that learning means highlighting the textbook. It is not the dumping of miscellaneous facts into your head as so much "content," though of course you have to keep exercising those earlier tricks of showing up on time and memorizing.
Just cramming can keep students from showing their creativity, so that they may become just ordinary people without making use of their talents. It's waste of human resources.
Therefore, they don't want to learn all those things by heart, questioning the efficiency of their study and looking for other teachers to get them to study subjects merrily.
French irregular verbs do not get into one's head without some pounding, as my daughter found out in the ninth grade. So our college-bound twelfth-graders have become demon memorizers.
They eat a lot of junk food and don't have much exercise, which leads to overweight. This means grave concern, so the necessity of physical education is stressed from teachers and parents.
Howmuch they memorize things is the measure of their grades and students are under so much pressure that many of them lose interest in studying and some of them even drop out.

I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (for instance, the 1936 Olympic Games) that international sporting contests lead to excessive hatred, one could deduce it from general principles. Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win.

A good many people hate spiders. Few consider that spiders are remarkable engineers and good friends to people. They are remarkable engineers. The silk that spiders spin for their webs has a stretching strength superior to the most flexible products made by humans. These webs have been known to entangle and hold animals as large as mice. The bola spider, instead of making a web, constructs a silken trapeze, which it hangs from branches or twigs. It attaches a small drop of sticky silk to the end of the trapeze and casts it out at passing insects. Any insect that gets stuck to the swinging ball becomes the spider's next meal. Many scientists feel that without the spider human life would be in danger. Without spider, insects would multiply and cover the earth, destroying the vegetation.

Theoretically the marriage of an old seat of learning and tradition with a new and wealthy industry might be expected to produce some interesting children. It might have been thought that the culture of the university would radiate out and transform the lives of the workers. That this has not happened may be the fault of the university, for the universities tend to live in an era which is certainly not of the 21st century, and upon a planet which bears little resemblance to the war-torn Earth. Wherever the fault may lay, the fact remains that the only fruit of the combination of industry of and learning is like the dust in the streets.

So was born the echo-sounding apparatus, now in general use in ships.
Not all sounds made by animals serve as language, and we have only to turn to that extraordinary discovery of echolocation in bats to see a case in which the voice plays a strictly utilitarian role. ( )
To get a full appreciation of what this means we must turn first to some recent human inventions.
( ) Everyone knows that if he shouts in the vicinity of a wall or a mountainside, an echo will comb back. ( ) The further off this solid obstruction is, the longer time will elapse for the return of the echo. ( ) A sound made by tapping on the hull of a ship will be reflected from the sea bottom, and by measuring the time interval between the taps and the receipt of the echoes the depth of the sea at that point can be calculated. ( )A few years ago it was found that certain bats emit squeaks and by receiving the echoes they could locate and steer clear of obstacles - or locate flying insects on which they feed.

An individual human existence should be like a river- small at first, narrowly contained within its banks and rushing passionately pst boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will be not unwelcome. I wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do, and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.
Old people naturally fear death.
It is not natural for old people to fear death.
It is justifiable for young people to fear death.
Old people will not fear death if they know the decay of vitality.
It is helpful to overcome the fear of death to make one's life universal.

You've got a lot to do and there just isn't enough time. After school, you have rehearsal, followed by work. You've also got to study for that biology test tomorrow. And don't forget to give your friend a call. On top of that you should exercise. The dog needs a walk. And your room is a wreck. What will you do? Have you ever packed a suitcase and noticed how much more you can fir inside when you neatly fold and organize your clothes instead of throwing them in? It's really quite surprising. The same goes for your life. The better you organize yourself, the more you'll be able to pack in - more time for family and friends, more time for school, more time for yourself, more time for your frist things. Put first things first. In summary, you should learn to prioritize and manage you time so that your first things come first, not last. You have to distinguish between two things, "the second things and the urgent things.

All I wanted as a kid in Morton Grove, Illinois, was to be like everyone else. But I wasn't. I'd lost virtually all my hearing at 18 months of age, after a bout of roseola. I started speech classes at three, lipreading and sign language at five. At school, I got tired of sticking up for myself with the kids who laughed at the way I talked. I hated asking for help. Why can't I do all the things everyone else does? I thought it was not fair. Mom would patiently tell me. "We all have somethings we just can't do. But God gives us other gifts that make up for that." What was my gift then? The summer I was seven, a counselor at day camp showed me a stage and said, "If you want, you can get up there and perform." I will never forget being on that stage that day, singing my heart out to the beat of the music, and seeing all those people looking back at me, smiling and clapping. This is it! At about 12, a director remarked one day, "You have a real gift for reaching the audience." I hadn't thought of a gift being something I could share. I was wondering whether I could realize my dream of becoming an actress. The spring of 1985, I won a supporting role in Children of a Lesser God, an awarding-winning play with a number of deaf characters. Things happened after that. Movie producers cast me in the lead role in the film version. That was when I was 19. Never did I imagine that six months after my twenty first birthday, I would be accepting the Academy Award for Best Actress.

A young man came to Socrates , the great wise man, and said, "I want to know everything you know." "Follow me to the river," said Socrates. Full of curiosity, the young man followed Socrates to the nearby river. As they sat on the bank, Socrates said, "Take a close look at the river and tell me what you see." "I don't see anything.," said the young man. "Look closer," replied Socrates. As the man peered over the bank and leaned closer to the water, Socrates grabbed the man's head and shoved it under the water. The man's arms flailed wildly as he attempted to escape, but socrates's strong grip kept him submerged. About the time the man was about to drown, Socrates pulled him from the river and laid him on the bank. Coughing, the man gasped, "Are you crazy, old man? What are you trying to do, kill me?" "When I was holding you under the river, what did you want more than anything else?" asked Socrates. "I wanted to breathe. I wanted air!" he replied. "Don't ever make a mistake of thinking wisdom comes so early, my young friend," then come to me again." The point here is clear. You have to pay the price. Everyone has to pay the price.
Nothing is more precious than learning earlier.
Nothing is more important than being humble.
Nothing in life comes easy.
Nothing is more important than being learned.
The wisdom of the old should be learned more than anything else.

What does synergy mean? It is achieved when two or more people work together to create a better solution than either cold alone. It's not your way or my way but a better way, a higher way. Synergy is everywhere in nature. The great sequoia trees (which grow to heights of 300 feet or more) grow in clumps and share a vast array of intermingled roots. Without each other, they would blow over in storm. Many plants and animals live together in symbiotic relationships. If you have ever seen a picture of a small bird feeding off the back of rhinoceros, you've seen synergy. Each benefits; The bird gets fed and the rhino gets cleaned. Synergy isn't anything new. If you've ever been on a team of any kind, you've felt it. If you've ever worked on a group project that really came together or been on a really fun group date, you've felt it. A good band is a great example of synergy. It's not just the drums, or the guitar, or the sax, or the vocalist, but it's all of them together that make up the sound. Each band member brings his or her strengths to the table to create something better than each could alone.

As a rule, practical jokers either get impressive laughs or get themselves into big trouble. The outcome of a practical joke depends a great deal on the patience and sense of humor of the victim. Sometimes, however, a practical joke can be so outrageous that the only people who see the humor in it are the practical jokers themselves.

I met a lady the other day who had travelled much and seen much, and who talked with great vivacity about her experiences. But I noticed one peculiarity about her. If I happened to say that I too had been, let us say, to Sydney, her interest in Sydney immediately faded away and she switched the conversation on to, let us say, to Cairo, where I had not been, and where therefore she was quite happy. And so with books and curiosities, persons and things- she was only interested in them so long as they were her exclusive property. She had the itch of possession, and when she ceased to possess she ceased to enjoy. And the chief trouble in this perplexing world is that there are so many people sharing this mania with her.
