Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today.

※ 글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것을 고르시오. [문 15～문 16]

Fortunately, psychologists believe that books can serve as therapeutic tools―or at least as effective adjuncts to professional therapy―to help children come to terms with their parents' divorce. According to educator-counselor Joanne Bernstein, stories that confront life's problems with candor and credibility may provide insights, promote self-examination, and lead to changes in attitude and behavior. One way stories accomplish this is through identification. Reading about the grief and anxiety of others, she explains, can arouse sudden awareness as problems that have not been consciously or completely recognized are allowed to surface. Introduced to characters who share their difficulties, children may feel less alienated and thus freer to discuss and resolve their own plight.

 

문 15.

①Children come to terms with their plight by reading.

②Stories are likely to alienate children from their parents.

③Books are helpful for children whose parents are divorced.

④Children identify themselves with characters while reading.

※ 글의 목적으로 가장 적절한 것을 고르시오. [문 17～문 18]

Various fogs are essentially clouds that form at the earth's surface, produced by temperature differences and moisture in the air. As warm, moisture-laden air cools, the amount of moisture that air can contain decreases. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air. So if the air is cooled sufficiently it will reach the dew point, at which the moisture begins to gather together out of the air and form water drops, creating fog.

 

문 17.

①To explain how fog is formed

②To describe various types of fog

③To show when warm air affects the fog

④To point out why moisture works in the air

 

Job-related stress can lead to symptoms of poor physical health such as weight gain, fatigue and illness. Both diet and exercise can contribute to the alleviation of these negative effects of stress. The first step is to eliminate junk food from the diet. Instead of soda or a candy bar, try a piece of fresh fruit. The next step is to make a habit of exercising every day. And you should aim for twenty to thirty minutes of exercise a day. The key is to find a form of exercise that you enjoy. That way, you are more likely to do it every day and will receive the maximum benefit. Both diet and exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight, keep you feeling energized, and protect you from sickness. Then you will be better equipped to deal with the sources of stress at your job.

 

문 18.

①To prevent weight gain

②To explain the causes of stress

③To announce why junk food is bad for the health

④To explain how to ease the negative effects of stress

 

문 19.글의 제목으로 가장 적절한 것은?

Dogs have long had special standing in the medical world. Trained to see for the blind, hear for the deaf and move for the immobilized, dogs have become indispensable companions for people with disabilities. However, dogs appear to be far more than four-legged health care workers. One Japanese study found pet owners made 30 percent fewer visits to doctors. A Melbourne study of 6,000 people showed that owners of dogs and other pets had lower cholesterol, blood pressure and heart attack risk compared with people who didn’t have pets. Obviously, the better health of pet owners could be explained by a variety of factors, but many experts believe companion animals improve health at least in part by lowering stress.

①The friendliness of dogs

②The healing power of dogs

③Dogs as health care workers

④Japanese dogs for the disabled

 

문 20.글의 요지로 가장 적절한 것은?

More and more people are turning away from their doctors and, instead, going to individuals who have no medical training and who sell unproven treatments. They go to quacks to get everything from treatments for colds to cures for cancer. And they are putting themselves in dangerous situations. Many people don't realize how unsafe it is to use unproven treatments. First of all, the treatments usually don't work. They may be harmless, but, if someone uses these products instead of proven treatments, he or she may be harmed. Why? Because during the time the person is using the product, his or her illness may be getting worse. This can even cause the person to die.

①Better train should be given to medical students.

②Alternative medical treatments can be a great help.

③Don't let yourself become a victim of health fraud.

④In any case, it is alright to hold off going to a doctor for several days.
