Since all children must grow up surrounded by adults, they are predisposed to consider themselves small,

weak and (A) capable / incapable of living alone. They do not trust themselves even to do those simple tasks

of which adults believe they are capable without mistakes or clumsiness. Most of our errors in child-rearing

begin at this point. When we demand more than children can do, the idea of their own (B) helplessness /

confidence is thrown into their faces. Some adults even consciously make children feel their smallness and

helplessness. Others treat children as animated dolls to be played with. Others again treat children as valuable

property that must be carefully watched, while still others make them feel they are so much (C) priceless /

useless human freight. A combination of these attitudes on the part of parents and other adults often leads

children to believe they have control over only two things: the pleasure and displeasure of their elders.

Right now there are countless people across this country (A) which / who are waiting. Most are in a post

office, while others are in a doctor’s office or a supermarket. And many of them probably are staring

vacantly. Surely these folks know from experience that waiting idly is unpleasant. Yet day and day, year after

year, they continue to enter into (B) wait / waiting situations without the slightest intention of engaging their

minds. They’ve conditioned themselves to be satisfied with doing nothing (C) while / during waiting. You

should not be one of them. Instead, plan ahead for those inevitable times when you will be forced to wait. If

you’re going into a likely waiting situation, be sure to carry a book or puzzle or notebook with you. And

when someone glibly says, “Sorry you had to wait,” you can reply, “I wasn’t waiting. I was ...ing.”

Unlike goods, services can’t be stored. Instead, their production and consumption occurs simultaneously.

Firms that provide services must maintain enough capacity to meet peak demand periods or they will face a

physical backlog of customers. In the case of air travel, if you fly during peak periods, you will join a queue

of fellow passengers waiting in line to check their luggage. To reduce the backlog, most service delivery

systems use reservations and appointments. Services are _____________________. An empty seat at a theater
or an empty hotel room will never be available again for that particular play or for that specific night, which

demonstrates why services cannot be inventoried and stored for later use. Services cannot be transferred or

reused but must be sold directly to a customer.

In general, evaluation of results can be less subjective than other kinds of performance measurement. This

makes measuring results highly ①acceptable to employees and managers alike. Results-oriented performance

measurement is also relatively easy to link to the organization’s goals. However, measuring results ②has

problems with validity, because results may be affected by circumstances beyond each employee’s

performance. Also, if the organization measures only final results, it may fail to measure significant aspects of

performance that ③is not directly related to those results. If individuals focus only on aspects of performance

that are measured, they may neglect significant skills or behaviors. For example, if the organization measures

only productivity, employees may not be concerned enough with customer service. Finally, focusing strictly on

results does not provide guidance on ④how to improve. If baseball players are in a hitting slump, simply

telling them ⑤that their batting average is .190 may not improve their hitting.

One morning at about 11:30, I was speaking on the phone with a client, Michael Thomas, from Illinois.

Unfortunately, I had to finish up a project by noon and casually mentioned it to him. That would signal to

But not Michael. The next thing I heard was a friendly, “Of course, Leil, we’ll talk again soon.” Click. I stared

at the mouthpiece in amazement and admiration after he hung up. He had instantaneously understood my

One of the most frustrating issues for moms of children of any age is ①having kids who cannot get along.

their siblings and even from us, the rivalry will get easier. It also helps not to compare one child to the

disequilibrium that motivates us to satisfy the ①unmet need. If the route home takes us on the freeway, we

In a perfect world, consumers would pay more for good companies’ products than unethical companies’

products if the product were ①relatively homogeneous. But does this really happen? To find out, researchers

conducted a series of experiments. They showed consumers the same products — coffee and t-shirts — but

told one group the items had been made using high ethical standards and another group ②which low standards
had been used. A control group got no information. In all of the tests, consumers were willing to pay a slight

premium for the ethically ③made goods. But they went ④much further in the other direction: they would buy

unethically made products only at a steep discount. What’s more, consumer attitudes played a big part in

shaping those results. People with high standards for corporate behavior rewarded the ethical companies with

As you know, many sports injuries are treated with ice packs. The initial impact of the ice is to reduce
the inflammation and the resultant swelling by shrinking the blood vessels and, so, slowing down the rush of

blood to the area. However, the body also has an opposite reaction to the cold, namely to send extra blood to

the chilled area to warm it up. (You may have noticed this phenomenon yourself when you’ve had very cold

hands. As soon as you came inside or otherwise warmed your hands, they seemed to glow.) Fortunately,

however, the body sends this warming blood to the area gradually without causing reswelling. Thus, the

sports physician has given his patient the best of all worlds; reduced swelling and inflammation but increased
flow of curative blood.

The development of quality and creative musical ideas takes time. Schools are set up such that teachers

Unfortunately, this ①hectic approach to teaching may be least conducive for creative thinking. Researchers

have provided evidence that when given ②enough time to work on a creative task, subjects produced lower

scores on fluency, flexibility, and originality tests. Additionally, researchers found that students produce their

If you want to be successful, I highly recommend learning to be happy first. It is possible to become

a personality multiplier. If you are cruel and unkind, then being wealthy will make you even more cruel and

unkind, because you don’t even have survival-related reasons to be nice to anyone anymore. If, instead, you

The color spectrum of daylight is comprised of red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, and violet. But

water acts as a filter on the color spectrum of light. Consequently the color composition of light changes

progressively with the depthddddd. Just two inches beneath the surface, all the infrared rays of the color
spectrum are absorbed and scattered by the water. Within twenty to thirty feet, all the reds have been

filtered out. Orange is the next color to go. Then yellow vanishes and then, one by one, the other colors

disappear until from about one hundred feet only indigo and violet remain. This creates the blue-green
cast characteristic of most waters. Blue and green are simply the only two colors that exist in deeper water

What maps show us — “the answer” they set forth to the question they frame — exerts a powerful

influence on our perception, especially since maps still carry an aura of being reliable and bias-free. What

we’re saying is this: maps are verbs. They may seem to be tactile objects, documents we can handle or fold
— nouns — but don’t be fooled. In persuasively framing questions and selectively supplying answers, they act;

they function as agents. This is “the power of maps.”

One way people simplify their decisions and make them more manageable is to reduce the number of
consequences they consider.

(A) Taking into account it, invite input from all interested parties, especially those who disagree with you

and those with the most to lose. Ask them what consequences they’re concerned about and why. Then,

incorporate these consequences in your decision making.

(B) They’re especially likely to ignore consequences that are thought to affect only a few people. But

consequences that affect only a few people can be serious. For example, a highly beneficial drug may have

positive consequences for many and adverse consequences for only a few people.

(C) But what if those few people could die from side effects of the drug? Obviously, you wouldn’t want to

ignore such serious consequences no matter how few people are affected. In attempting to consciously deal

with this situation, it helps to consult a broad range of people who have a stake in the decision you’re

making.

These growers have no incentive to harvest their fruit prematurely.

In the early stages, cherries are too tart to eat, but as the cycle progresses, the sugar content of the

fruit increases, making them more appealing to most palates. ① Professional cherry growers time their

harvests so that the fruit appears in supermarkets near the peak of the ripening cycle. ② Invariably,

however, cherries on trees growing in public parks are picked when they are barely sweet enough to be
edible. ③ Why don’t people wait? Professional cherry growers plant their trees on private land, and

trespassers who pick cherries from them are subject to legal sanctions. ④ But the incentives are

different in public parks, where anyone is free to pick cherries. ⑤ And although everyone would be

better off if the fruit were allowed to ripen, anyone who waited that long would find no cherries to pick.

When we trust the journey of life, wholly and completely, we don’t need to know what is unfolding or why;

we simply need to be present to the experience of it. Trusting the journey ①means that even if we don’t

understand what’s unfolding right now, we have an unshakable belief ②that it’s happening because

circumstances are rearranging themselves for our highest good. It means ③knowing that for every door that

closes, a window of opportunity opens. I’ve noticed that many people get so down about the front door’s
④slam in their face that they miss the open window and the back door that ⑤swung open at the same time.

The lessons pushed his reflexes, his endurance, and his patience. The ground school was very hard for him to

follow. But he wanted to fly, so he stuck with it. And at last there was only a physical between him and the

solo flight. He went to the doctor and passed the medical exam only to have his hopes dashed when the

doctor said, “Sorry, I can’t let you solo. You’re seventy years old.” As it turns out, there were no regulations

about maximum age, so my father pushed ahead.

답: 그는 의사에게 가서 건강 진단을 통과했지만, 의사가 말했을 때 그의 희망이 꺾여 버렸을 뿐이었다.

Right then and there, she adopted the doll as her own. Excited, Marcella, with doll in hand, headed off into

the snow to the Star. Rushing into her father’s office, she displayed her wonderful discovery. Her doll needed

a new face! Putting his work aside, John took the doll from his daughter’s arms. Carefully, with his pen, the
