1번 지문

Food is one of the basic necessities of life. Finding, growing, preserving, storing, trading, and eating it have driven the course of human history. The need to eat and the desire to eat something pleasant have encouraged meetings of cultures and exchanges of ideas. Looking into the tasty history of food will allow us to better understand how food has shaped the world and our history. More than 12,500 years ago, humans transitioned from chasing their food around to growing it where they could settle. It is difficult to say which particular plant was the very first to be farmed, but there are a few crops that archaeologists believe sparked the Agricultural Revolution. The Agricultural Revolution refers to the prehistoric transition from hunting and gathering societies to agricultural ones. It is believed to have taken place in the fertile region of Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

2번 지문

In a region near the Middle East, called the "Fertile Crescent," the earliest known wheat was domesticated and grown in about 8500 BCE. It spread west to Greece and to Germany over a period of about 2,000 years. China and Southeast Asia seem to have been the center of the cultivation of rice about 7000 BCE. Moreover, corn was first grown in Central America around 8000 BCE. Modern people would probably not even recognize the earliest strains of rice and corn, to say nothing of enjoying their taste. However, they are nonetheless the source of our modern cuisine. Farming allowed people to settle down instead of moving around all the time. This new sedentary lifestyle allowed humans to develop settlements with higher populations, division of labor, trade, political structures, writing, and much more. In times of abundance, settling and farming yielded a surplus of food, and thus certain societies were able to expand their horizons and meet other groups of people. This resulted in trade and the exchange of ideas, languages, and traditions. Such meetings also resulted in war, the expansion of influence, and cultural domination. At around 1200 CE, Genghis Khan united the numerous small tribes of Northeast Asia under the Mongol Empire. At its peak, it stretched from west to east from Central Europe to the East Sea, north into Siberia, and south into India. Genghis Khan needed a massive, mobile army in order to maintain his empire, and this army needed to be fed enormous amounts of food. Khan and his advisers needed to develop a system to cure and dry meat so that calorie-dense, healthy food could be preserved and easily transported over long distances. The result was meat jerky similar to that which is available today at a convenience store near you!

3번 지문

Khan's army cut long, thin strips of donkey and cow meat, and salted them in small bowls, after which the strips were air-dried and possibly roasted over a fire. The result was surprisingly delicious and contained enough nutrition to sustain an entire army. The ancient methods of preserving food such as salting, drying, and smoking have not changed for thousands of years. One additional method was introduced in the early 19th century and has been a game-changer: canning. Canning dates back to the Napoleonic Wars when the French government offered a large reward to anyone who could find a way to effectively preserve food. This would allow an army to be not only healthier but also better able to fight in tougher conditions. Different types of the canned foods we enjoy today were originally developed to support the needs of the military.

4번 지문

Spices made food taste good, leading to an era of exploration and discovery. With demand for spices growing in the early 15th century Europe, many explorers began long sea voyages in search of spices, which lasted for about 200 years. Columbus from Italy ended up going west to the Americas; Da Gama from Portugal discovered the first sea route to India; and Magellan from Portugal went east and was the first to sail around the world. On land, the Silk Road carried spices and many other trade goods between Asia and the Middle East. A search for ways to make food taste better sparked a global trade network which many historians agree eventually resulted in intellectual and cultural exchange, diplomacy, conflict, and wealth. When Christopher Columbus arrived in the Bahamas, southeast of Florida, he believed it was a part of India. Later, people used the term West Indies to differentiate the region from the real India. For example, pepper is a very common spice all over the world today; however, an ancient Roman cook could not just go to the grocery store to get some. The Romans had a flourishing spice trade with India, but acquiring pepper was difficult and costly, leading to myths about how dangerous it was to harvest. In fact, some stories said that pepper trees in India were protected by poisonous snakes. They had to be scared away by burning the trees, which gave the peppercorn its black color. These kinds of fantastic stories maintained the charm of the spice, and they also enabled pepper investors to strengthen their hold on the prized commodity.

5번 지문

Technological progress, human curiosity, and the determination to explore moved people all over the world. This movement of people also meant that more and more people from different backgrounds would come together. The tasty history of food also includes what happens when cuisine and culture intertwine. The story of pizza reveals how food evolves over time because of the creativity of people. Tomatoes were brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, but many Europeans believed them to be poisonous. Some poor people in Naples, Italy, in the late 18th century, maybe out of curiosity or necessity, began to use tomatoes as a bread topping. It tasted good, so tourists were attracted to the area to try this specialty. This was probably how pizza was born. Immigration in the 19th century brought pizza to the United States and Canada, increasing its popularity and sparking the creation of regional recipes like Chicago deep dish or New York pizza. Food gives strength, helps people fight, and evolves over time. It is also an intriguing way to learn about history. With the world becoming a smaller place and more and more varieties of foods being invented, it's no wonder that many people take vacations where the focus is on their stomachs. When they try a local dish for the first time, they feel an intimate connection with the unique history of that particular place. Food: what a wonderful, tasty way to learn about people and the history of the world.

6번 지문

War might seem like a time for hate and conflict. However, even during the darkest of times, there is still room for charity and humanity. We see this in the story of Elisabeth Vincken, who made a decision that warmed the hearts of sworn enemies during a time of war. On Christmas Eve, 1944, German and American soldiers fought in one of the biggest battles of World War II near the town of Aachen, Germany. With the safety of her family being put at risk by remaining in the city, Elisabeth Vincken and her son decided to take shelter in a small cabin in the woods. Elisabeth waited for her husband to return from work as she prepared a simple Christmas dinner of roast chicken and potatoes. When the sun went down, there was a knock at the door. Elisabeth opened the door to find three American soldiers, one badly wounded. They asked if they could come in, and Elisabeth politely invited them in to the warmth of the cabin despite the fact that they were enemy soldiers. They were in need, and she was a charitable person. Suddenly there was another knock at the door: it was four German soldiers. The thought that she might be jailed for harboring enemy soldiers came to mind, but she calmly explained that the Americans were desperate and it was Christmas Eve, so she took them in. One German soldier stared intently and then finally said, "It's Christmas. There will be no shooting here." That Christmas Eve, enemy soldiers gathered together and shared a meal. In the morning, they thanked the woman for her kindness and courage, picked up their guns, and returned to the war. The brief, beautiful moment of peace in the middle of that chaos was over.

1번 지문

What word in the English language is always spelled incorrectly? If long and difficult words come to mind, take another guess. Any ideas? The answer is the word “incorrectly” itself! Although this may seem to be just a nonsense question, there is much more to it than meets the eye. The way most people approach this question shows that they tend to think “inside the box,” which means thinking in a traditional way. Sometimes, however, this doesn’t help you solve challenging problems. Try stepping outside your imaginary box and solve problems in a way you’ve never thought about before. Let your creativity fly.

Going beyond what you are used to can be the first step in becoming creative. Here is question number one. A great golfer can only successfully hit the ball 3, 5, 7, or 11 yards. On the final hole of the game, he’s on his last shot. Now, he has to make a 20-yard swing. If the ball doesn’t directly go in, it will roll past the hole. What is the lowest number of swings that it would take for him to successfully put the ball in the hole? Here’s a clue. What about thinking outside the concept of the golfer hitting in a straight direction — he can hit diagonally, as well. Did you get the answer? Is your answer four times? Actually, by swinging two times for 11 yards in a diagonal direction, the golfer could successfully finish the game!

2번 지문

Are you ready for the next question? One day, a farmer challenged an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to a game in which the person who fenced off the largest area with the smallest amount of wire would win. It seemed that everyone had his or her own way of thinking. The engineer made a large circle with her wire. The physicist made a long fence, using less wire than the engineer’s. He said that the fence could be an infinitely long straight line and would fence in half of the earth. Finally, the mathematician laughed at the other two and presented her idea to the farmer. Quite surprised, the farmer announced that the mathematician was the winner. What was the mathematician’s idea?

The mathematician had made a tiny fence around herself and said, “I fenced off the entire world except for this little piece of land that I’m standing on.” None of the other challengers had expected her to say this because they had only focused on what was inside the fence and not the other way around.

3번 지문

You might remember the story of the egg of Columbus. People told Columbus that his discovery of the New World was not a big deal. So he asked them to do the very simple task of making an egg stand upright. After a while, everyone gave up. Clearly making his point, Columbus got the egg to stand on its end by tapping it on the table. When something like this is shown to you, it seems to be easy at first glance. However, the hard part is to be the first to think beyond what you are used to. By thinking in a different way, you will find yourself at a whole new level of creativity.

4번 지문

It is also helpful to step out of your comfort zone and look beyond what you can see. In other words, use your imagination! Your final brain game begins with a romantic story.

There once lived a rich king. Loving his wife so much, he wanted to be with her forever. One day, he asked an artist to paint a painting of himself and the queen. The painting the artist drew, “A Beautiful Queen,” is pictured above. Here is your question: where is the queen? You’ll need to use your creativity to see her!

It is not until you divide the portrait into four squares that you can solve the question. To find the queen, you have to turn the squares upside down or switch their places. Now, do you see the queen’s beautiful outline? Neither looking closely at the king nor staring at the yellow background can help you answer the question. However, by using your imagination, you can see a lady in the portrait.

Solving this problem requires imagination. Imagination is the ability to make a mental picture of something in your mind. What’s so interesting about this ability, however, is that it is not limited only to seeing images in your head. It can include all the five senses and feelings — so going well beyond what can be seen. Training your imagination to combine all the five senses and emotions will help you to strengthen your creativity.

Did you enjoy pumping up your brain with these brain games? Thinking outside the box might seem difficult at first. However, it gets easier as you try to break the boundaries of your old thinking patterns. When you face a problem, don’t give up too quickly. Open your mind and let your creativity work for you!

1번 지문

How can you go? Return to my relief,

Leave me not drowning in a sea of grief.

Alas! He's fled forever from my sight,

And my hopes vanish into horror's night. - Ned Ward

Metaphor is commonly used throughout all types of literature, but it is used most commonly in poetry. In the first two lines of the poem above, the speaker is asking her lover not to leave her "drowning in a sea of grief." This expression is an example of metaphor: a way of describing a person or object by referring to something else that has similar characteristics. How and where does one come across a sea that is filled not with water, but with grief? Furthermore, she is not literally drowning. These lines are meant to convey that the speaker is figuratively being consumed by grief, which makes her feel as if she were drowning. She feels desperate and hopeless. The metaphor gives the reader a better idea of the depth of the speaker's grief in this situation.

2번 지문

You may think that metaphor is only used in poetry and other types of literature, but this is not the case. In reality, many everyday English expressions make use of metaphor as well. Many words and phrases are used both literally and metaphorically. Even very common words are sometimes used in ways that don't fit their usual meanings.

John: Sarah, how did you do on the math test last week?

Sarah: Oh, John, it was the worst! I'll probably have to take a retest.

John: I'm in the same boat. I'm pretty sure I failed it.

Sarah: I studied so hard for the test, but all of my efforts just went down the drain.

John: I know exactly how you feel. Why don't we study together for the retest?

Sarah: That's a great idea. If we put our heads together, I'm sure we can do better.

If you know only the basic, literal meanings of the colored words and phrases from the dialog, you will find this conversation strange. John and Sarah are not at sea traveling together by boat; they are just in the same unpleasant situation. Efforts can't literally go down the drain. Sarah feels her efforts have been wasted and can't be gotten back - as if they have been flushed down the drain. Here, the phrase "went down the drain" is a metaphor. Does Sarah want to put her head next to John's head? Of course not. John is suggesting that he and Sarah work together for the retest. Sarah agrees with the idea of studying together in order to do better on the retest. John and Sarah don't use the literal meanings of words like "boat," "drain," and "head," but we can still understand the connection these words have to their metaphorical uses. The expression "in the same boat" refers to the risks shared by passengers in a small boat at sea. What goes down the drain disappears and can't be gotten back again. Our brains are inside our heads, so the head is associated with thinking.

3번 지문

When new words are needed in order to describe things that did not exist before, they are often created by means of metaphor. Computer technology, for example, is relatively new, so we need words to describe many new objects and actions related to it - most of these new words have been produced metaphorically.

The computer has become an important part of my life. Today when I was browsing the Internet, I visited Rebecca's blog. It instantly grabbed my attention, so I bookmarked it. Having spent a lot of time looking at the blog, I checked my mailbox. It contained an email from an unknown sender. When I opened the email, it downloaded a computer virus. It was a disaster!

If you look in a dictionary that is over 30 years old, you will find most of the colored words in the passage. But you will not find the meanings that are used here. Although a website is not a physical place, we can visit it as we would visit a friend or a place of interest. Similarly, a mailbox can now mean the part of a computer's memory where emails are stored. Thinking of it as the physical place where letters are delivered helps us understand the technology. When we want to return to a web page, we put a bookmark there, just as we would between the pages of a book. Lastly, just as a virus attacks the human body, a computer virus destroys the information stored on a computer. Many of these new words related to technology are in fact old words that are now being used in a new and more metaphorical way.

4번 지문

We use metaphor almost every time we write or speak, often without realizing it. Becoming aware of how metaphor is used in language is very important in language learning. It can help you improve your understanding of how English works. Next time you come across a metaphor, think about how its metaphorical meaning might be connected to its literal meaning. If you develop the habit of thinking about language in this way, you will learn vocabulary more effectively and deepen your understanding of language. Now that you know how useful metaphor is, you can dive into the sea of metaphor without fear!

1번 지문

Taein: How did you pay your bus fare this morning? By cash or card? In 2016, the Bank of Korea conducted a survey on the most preferred payment method. It turned out that more than 75 percent of Korean people preferred to use credit and debit cards, and only 22.8 percent preferred to use cash. Some countries are even proposing a cash-free policy, in which cash is not used at all. What do you think about replacing cash with electronic payment systems? Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages.

Jina: I definitely think a cashless society will bring us a lot of benefits. Above all, its number one advantage is convenience. Imagine that you live in a cashless world. You don't have to carry cash with you anywhere. Next, you won't be worried that your cash will be stolen. Also, you'll avoid collecting change because you can pay the exact amount through an e-payment. For example, imagine that you want to buy an ice cream for 1,150 won, and you only have a 10,000 won bill, then you'll get 8,850 won in change. What a burden to carry all that change! In a cashless world, you'll never have this trouble again.

Taein: Thanks for sharing your opinion, Jina. In short, Jina considers convenience to be the main advantage of a cashless world. Sumi, what do you think about Jina's opinion?

2번 지문

umi: I agree with Jina. There is no denying the convenience of e-payments in a cashless world. However, we should also think about others who might not benefit from this type of system. The other day, I read a newspaper article. One expert warned that changing to an e-payment system can bring about "exclusion." He claimed that a cash-free society pressures all people to belong to a bank and be part of a financial system. But in such a society, the tech-unfriendly can be excluded from the financial system. For example, elderly people who are not used to e-payment systems may not be able to use these systems. Last week, I tried to teach my 80-year-old grandmother how to buy something with her smartphone, but she had trouble following my instructions. My grandmother said that learning how to use an e-payment system is not as easy as using cash.

Taein: Thanks. Sumi is worried that some groups of people may not be able to participate in a cashless economy. Any other opinions?

Dohun: I understand Sumi's concerns and worries about a cashless economy. By replacing coins and bills, however, e-payment systems can reduce or even eliminate the huge cost of producing money every year. The Bank of Korea reported that, in 2016, it spent a total of approximately 150 billion won making coins and bills. If we eliminate this cost by adopting e-payment systems, we can allocate the money we save toward other programs, like improving social welfare for people.

Taein: Dohun stated that using e-payment systems will save the government a lot of money. So far, Jina and Dohun have pointed out the advantages of a cashless society while Sumi has shown some problems with it. Are there any other concerns regarding a cashless world?

3번 지문

Minsu: I'm concerned about the security of a cashless economy. If an e-payment system gets hacked in a cashless world, not only our personal data but also our money can be stolen. For example, in 2016, a bank in the UK froze its online operations because 40,000 accounts had been hacked. But the freeze occurred only after 20,000 customers had lost money from their accounts. Back in 2013, a criminal group penetrated more than 100 banks' internal computers. They transferred millions of dollars from banks in Russia, Japan, Switzerland, the United States, and the Netherlands into dummy accounts set up in other countries.

Taein: That's a good point. Thanks, Minsu. Now, we must conclude today's discussion about the pros and cons of a cashless society. Some of you mentioned that a cashless economy will provide convenience and cost-savings, but others raised concerns about difficulties for tech-unfriendly people and the lack of security. In addition to these, there may be other advantages and disadvantages to a cashless society. What is your opinion? I hope that today's discussion has made you more aware of the positive and negative aspects of living in a cashless society.

1번 지문

The Kingdom of Morocco, located in the northwest corner of North Africa, is a place where the cultures of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East combine. Morocco also enfolds a fascinating and magnificent desert. Each year millions of people visit Morocco to enjoy its exotic and unusual culture, and to view its beautiful scenery. Why don't we see what Morocco has for visitors?

Do you want to walk down a medieval street? Then Fez is the right place for you. Fez was the medieval capital of Morocco and the place where Moroccan culture began to prosper. Medieval traditions have remained unchanged here for centuries. In particular, the Medina of Fez, an old section of the city, has kept its architecture and style the way it was 1,200 years ago.

What makes the Medina of Fez more special is the world's largest and most complicated labyrinth. Nearly 9,000 narrow alleys are entangled in one another without any pattern or logic, and sometimes you may reach a dead end. As you wander the alleys in the Medina of Fez, you can see an endless view of markets with roofs, old mosques, palaces, and dyeing factories.
