1번 지문

Imagine something secretly entering your body and controlling your behavior, turning you into one of those zombies from science fiction movies. Does that sound creepy? That's exactly how a parasitic fungus species called the "zombie ant fungus," inhabiting tropical forests around the world, attacks ant colonies. What happens is that when spores from the fungus land on an ant searching for food in the forest, it infects the ant, hijacks its central nervous system, and controls its brain with a special chemical. The victim doesn't act like an ant but like a zombie: it stops searching for food for its colony, and instead climbs up a tree and holds onto a leaf or a branch, where it is finally killed by the fungus. Soon, a stalk of spores grows out of the back of the ant's head, from which more spores can access more ants under the tree, a cruel but very effective way of expanding the fungus' territory.

2번 지문

While the zombie ant fungi reproduce by enslaving poor ants, an invertebrate species called the tardigrades is extremely difficult to kill, earning the title, "the toughest animal" in the world. Their main habitat is wet areas, such as tropical rain forests, the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean or even your garden. They are as small as the period at the end of every sentence you write. Despite their small size, however, they employ a series of remarkable survival tactics. Putting them in boiling alcohol or into the extreme cold of -272℃ won't kill them. Hunger or thirst is not a word in their dictionary: they can live without food or water for decades. The vacuum of outer space can't stop them either; they were sent to space in 2007 and were found to have survived exposure to vacuum and deadly solar radiation for ten full days. How do tardigrades survive such harsh environments? Many things are still unknown about their survival tactics, but one trick they employ to fight dry seasons is relatively well documented. They rely on "cryptobiosis," which is when they don't die but go into a state where their metabolism decreases to 0.01% of normal activity. They do this by curling up and drying out their body. They can remain in this dehydrated state for decades. They avoid going completely dry with the help of some protectants in their body mass, which prevent the main components of their cells, including their DNA, from being destroyed. When exposed to water, they rehydrate and reawaken. Their ability to cope with extreme heat and cold, radiation, and pressure is still under investigation.

3번 지문

The wonders of nature exist not only in the animal kingdom but also in the world of plants. One amazing plant is the floating bladderwort, which inhabits every continent except Antarctica. It is a plant with no true leaves or roots but displays beautiful yellow flowers. Bladderworts float freely on the surface of lakes or ponds without rooted connections to the soil. They grow in areas that lack dissolved minerals. What is needed is something to supplement their diet, and thus they feed on small creatures in ponds like water fleas. With their sophisticated trapping mechanism, underwater seed-like bladders suck in prey in the blink of an eye. This carnivorous plant uses a vacuum-driven suction trap. Two structures compose the trap: the walls and the trap door. When the walls pump out water while the trap door is locked, the walls create a partial vacuum inside, storing potential mechanical energy like a spring. At the bottom of the door, trigger hairs act like a lever that blocks the external water from rushing in. The hairs are very sensitive, and a slight touch by a nearby prey activates them, unlocking the door and expanding the walls, which causes the water surrounding the prey to be sucked into the bladder. It only takes a thousandth of a second for a water flea to touch the hair and be sucked in. Our trapping mechanism is the best in the plant kingdom!

《TRAPPING MECHANISM》

1. A water flea touches a hair trigger.

2. The bladder opens up the door, sucking in the flea.

3. It closes the door again and releases water to create a vacuum anew.

4번 지문

Many of us take it for granted that only humans farm food. However, a recently discovered deep-sea crab species called the Yeti challenges that notion. Yeti crabs live 2,000 meters below the surface of the ocean, deep down on sulfur-rich thermal vents that spew water as hot as 380℃. In such harsh environments, they survive by growing bacteria on their hairy claws, which constitute their main food source. There is no light down there, so photosynthesis is impossible. Instead, the bacteria rely on what's known as chemosynthesis, using oxygen from the surrounding water and the methane or sulfide from the vents. The crabs often wave their hairy claws near the vents, allowing the bacteria on the hair to have better access to oxygen, methane, or sulfide to grow better, which is definitely a cool way of farming in the deep. Despite the relatively recent appearance of modern humans on Earth, we are led to believe that we "dominate" the natural world and that we are the "superior" life form. A closer look at microorganisms, however, demonstrates that plants and animals have adapted to their environments far better than we have and in ways that we cannot even imagine. It is true that we have done well to change our environment so that it is more suitable to us, but a study of other life forms leads us to question why we must always change our environment instead of adapting to it the way that other successful life forms have. Perhaps we need a dose of humility and a shift in perspective. Maybe we simply are not the masters of this world.

5번 지문

Humans convey messages using spoken or written language to fulfill everyday needs, but do trees in the forest communicate with each other? Many scientists, including Professor Suzanne Simard at the University of British Columbia, say trees can "talk" to each other using a network of fungi in the soil. The interdependent relationship between trees and soil fungi is well documented. These types of fungi cannot photosynthesize in the dark, so they have to obtain carbon for survival. Meanwhile, carbon is provided by the tree roots in exchange for nutrients and water the fungi bring to the tree. It's a symbiotic relationship between fungi and the roots of a plant. What Dr. Simard's team discovered is that trees in forests all over the world cooperate with each other using fungi networks. They cooperate not only for resource transfer but also for other purposes like defense signaling or recognition of their own kind, just as humans shout warnings or call out to their children. Communication signals are mostly sent out by the "mother tree" of the forest, according to Dr. Simard. Mother trees are large, old trees with bigger root systems and bigger fungal networks. When they get seriously injured, they dump carbon into the network and increase secretion of warning chemicals. However, if the network is severed, signals cannot be sent and carbon cannot be transferred. Mother trees can also recognize whether a young tree nearby is the same species. When it is the same kind, they favor it by feeding and protecting it through their rich network. In a sense, soil fungi networks are media that may allow trees to "speak."

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.

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.

Homin: Jinho invited me to his magic show the other day. He performed wonderful card tricks in front of a huge audience. I am envious of him as he has a plan for his future dream of becoming a professional magician. He watches magic performance shows almost every day and keeps practicing magic tricks until he can perform them perfectly. He has set his mind on studying psychology in college as magic basically deals with people's minds. I wish I had a plan for my future.

To make the right career choice, you have to learn about yourself first. Your values, interests, and personality will make some careers more suitable for you and others less appropriate. You can use self-assessment tests, often called career tests, to better understand yourself. Free career tests are available at our office. If the career test results are not clear and don't solve the problem, don't give up. A hobby you really enjoy can be an important part of choosing a career.

5 Steps to Make a Career Choice

STEP 1 Take a career test

STEP 2 Make a list of jobs

STEP 3 Get information about the jobs

STEP 4 Narrow down the list

STEP 5 Learn more about the jobs

Now, you should make a list of occupations based on your self-assessment test results. For each job on your list, you should do some careful research in order to learn about the occupation's educational requirements, outlook, and earnings potential. After researching, you can eliminate careers in which you are no longer interested. At this point you may only have two or three occupations left on your list. You now have to gather more in-depth information from people who have first-hand knowledge. You should identify who they are and conduct interviews with them or ask them for a job-shadowing opportunity.

If you are still not sure, don't worry. Get yourself involved in various activities that you enjoy and do your best today. Your best possible future will unfold when you make today the best it can be.

I am a music lover, so yesterday I job-shadowed my uncle who is a music producer at X-Music. I left home very excited. Not only was I getting the day off of school, but I was also getting a chance to see in person how a music album is made.

The studio was full of the latest equipment, whose size and complexity amazed me. My uncle gave me a short explanation of the equipment. He also explained what needs to be done to create an album, from planning the album to arranging, recording, and editing the music. More than half of what he said sounded like a foreign language to me.

We headed to the recording booth, where two singers were recording music for their rock band. Outside of the booth, the composer and a technician were waiting for us. My uncle sat down in the middle next to the composer when the recording started. It didn't take long, however, until it was stopped by my uncle, then by the composer and the technician. They didn't like this or that about the music and had the singers repeat the same line again and again, all of which sounded perfect to me. When everyone got exhausted, my uncle cheered them up with occasional funny stories. It took a whole day to finish one song!

My day at X-Music helped me realize that love of music is not the only thing required to become a music producer: patience, leadership, and communication skills on top of a good ear for music are important skills to learn, too. I'll have to come up with a plan to develop these skills.

I'm Cathy Carter. I taste chocolate and evaluate its quality, telling good chocolate from bad, faulty chocolate. The evaluation process begins with smelling samples and breaking them to see if they sound crisp. Old or improperly stored chocolate doesn't make a crisp sound. Then comes the actual tasting. I put a small piece into my mouth, press it lightly against the roof of my mouth, and wait until it melts. Then I breathe out through my nose to identify the smell. I always record everything like smells, sounds, tastes, and textures on a computer.

As a chocolate taster, the most important part of my job is keeping my mouth objective. I have to keep my mouth ready and lively so that my evaluation may be as objective as possible. Since I taste an average of thirty samples a day, one should not affect the taste of another. As soon as one is done, I spit it back out and wait for a while. Then I eat a cracker and drink some warm water to get my senses back.

For those who want to become chocolate tasters, I would say love of chocolate is not all it takes to succeed. Keen observation skills and a good understanding of basic concepts of chemistry are required, and a degree in Food Technology is recommended.

"One Size Doesn't Fit All"

What will it be like when I get old? Will getting around and doing things be difficult? The industrial designer Patricia Moore once asked herself these very questions as a young woman. When she was just 26 years old, Moore dressed like an 80-year-old woman and handicapped herself with weights and blurred glasses to find answers. After traveling around North America like that for three years, she understood the difficulties the elderly face in our modern society and thus set to work designing products and services that would simplify life for our senior citizens. I admire Moore in that she dedicated herself to a particular problem and really sacrificed in order to find a solution. Would I do the same to help others in need? I certainly don't want to get to the end of my life and say, "I wish I had done more to help people." Moore's dedication has given me ideas about how I might be of service to others. My resolution: See the world through others' eyes.

"To Dare Is to Do, to Fear Is to Fail"

I came across these words from a famed explorer John Goddard a few weeks ago. When he was just 15 years old, Goddard realized the importance of setting concrete life goals. So he wrote down 127 specific aims and, during his life, accomplished 109 of them. When asked about his motivation for writing this "Life List," he said that all the adults he knew seemed to complain that they hadn't accomplished things when they were younger. "They had let life slip by them," he said. "I was sure that if I planned for my future, I could have a life of excitement, fun, and knowledge." So what are my life goals? Are some of my goals more of a priority than others? There's no question that I have a bunch of things I want to accomplish in life, but where do I even start? Like Goddard, I need to be specific about goals, and I should write them down.

Goddard's Life List

• Visit the North and South Poles.

• Travel the Nile, Amazon, and Congo.

• Study native African medicines.

• Learn French and Spanish.

• Write a book.

• Build a telescope.

• Read the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

More importantly, I need to be brave enough to dare to do the things on my list, and this will certainly require me to leave my comfort zone. Well, first things first. It's time to write out my list. First of all, I want to become a genetic engineer and develop tools and methods that might be used to treat rare diseases. I know the goal in and of itself is daunting and involves much effort and many complicated steps. I wish I had set the goal earlier, but I still have plenty of time to accomplish this. Anyway, I'm glad that I came up with the very first goal on my life list. So what's the next step? The most practical thing would be to think about successive objectives leading to the ultimate goal. For example, I could study biology in university and then, during the summers, I could do a work-study program at a genetic research lab. By the time I finish that, I will have learned the basics of genetic engineering.

My Life List

1. Study biology in university.

2. Read Les Mise'rables in French.

3. Swim across the Hangang.

4. Get a bus driver's license

"Keeping Hope Alive"

I believe that the luckiest people in the world owe a debt to those who are not so fortunate. By this, I mean that people like me, who are lucky enough to receive a good education, have loving parents, and live in a relatively safe country, ought to get out into the world and actively help the poor and the sick. Dr. Hawa Abdi proved herself to be a woman of action when she passed up a life of luxury to help the ill and the dispossessed in her country. In 1983, when Somalia's government collapsed, Abdi was running a successful medical clinic in her country's capital, Mogadishu. She could have escaped and lived comfortably overseas, but she decided to stay and make a difference. She established a hospital and refuge on her family's land.

5번 지문

One day, rebels tried to take over her hospital, but "Mama Hawa" outstared the rebels. Soon, they left in shame. She picked herself up from this setback to continue healing, feeding, educating, and caring for her people. I am beginning an ambitious life journey. By the end, I will have experienced many setbacks and obstacles which will have helped me grow. The lesson I should learn from Dr. Hawa's story is that each obstacle must be met with courage and determination. There are people right here in my country, right now, who also need help. I believe I have certain skills and abilities that are unique to me, and that can benefit society if I develop them further. Through education, I need to refine these skills for the good of the maximum number of people. This is the beginning of my life of service.

My resolutions

• Expect obstacles and prepare for them.

• Have the courage to do what is right.
