In 1888, she moved to St. Louis, where she worked as a washerwoman for more than a decade, earning barely more than a dollar a day. During this time, long hours of backbreaking labor and a poor diet caused her ha..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 18번 ] To whom it may concern: I was born and raised in the city of Boulder and have enjoyed our scenic natural spaces for my whole life. The land through which the proposed Pine Hill walking trail would cut is home to a variety of species. Wildlife faces pressure from development, and these animals need space where they can hide from human activity. Although trails ..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 39번 ] Earlier agricultural systems were integrated with and co-evolved with technologies, beliefs, myths and traditions as part of an integrated social system. Generally, people planted a variety of crops in different areas, in the hope of obtaining a reasonably stable food supply. These systems could only be maintained at low population levels, and were relatively ..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 38번 ] Daylight isn’t the only signal that the brain can use for the purpose of biological clock resetting, though it is the principal and preferential signal, when present. So long as they are reliably repeating, the brain can also use other external cues, such as food, exercise, and even regularly timed social interaction. All of these events have the ability to re..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 37번 ] Even though two variables seem to be related, there may not be a causal relationship. In fact, the two variables may merely seem to be associated with each other due to the effect of some third variable. Sociologists call such misleading relationships spurious. A classic example is the apparent association between children’s shoe size and reading ability. It s..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 36번 ] Imagine yourself at a party. It is dark and a group of friends ask you to take a picture of them. You grab your camera, point, and shoot your friends. The camera automatically turns on the flash as there is not enough light available to produce a correct exposure. The result is half of your friends appear in the picture with two bright red circles instead of t..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 35번 ]The Barnum Effect is the phenomenon where someone reads or hears something very general but believes that it applies to them. These statements appear to be very personal on the surface but in fact, they are true for many. Human psychology allows us to want to believe things that we can identify with on a personal level and even seek information where it doesn’t..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 34번 ] Back in 1996, an American airline was faced with an interesting problem. At a time when most other airlines were losing money or going under, over 100 cities were begging the company to service their locations. However, that’s not the interesting part. What’s interesting is that the company turned down over 95 percent of those offers and began serving only fou..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 33번 ] As much as we can learn by examining fossils, it is important to remember that they seldom tell the entire story under certain sets of conditions. Modern insect communities are highly diverse in tropical forests, but the recent fossil record captures little of that diversity. Many creatures are consumed entirely or decompose rapidly when they die, so there may..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 32번 ] Business consultant Frans Johansson describes the Medici effect as the emergence of new ideas and creative solutions when different backgrounds and disciplines come together. The term is derived from the 15th-century Medici family, who helped usher in the Renaissance by bringing together artists, writers, and other creatives from all over the world. Arguably, ..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 31번 ] There is nothing more fundamental to the human spirit than the need to be mobile. It is the intuitive force that sparks our imaginations and opens pathways to life-changing opportunities. It is the catalyst for progress and personal freedom. Public transportation has been vital to that progress and freedom for more than two centuries. The transportation indust..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 30번 ] Recent research suggests that evolving humans’ relationship with dogs changed the structure of both species’ brains. One of the various physical changes caused by domestication is a reduction in the size of the brain: 16 percent for horses, 34 percent for pigs, and 10 to 30 percent for dogs. This is because once humans started to take care of these animals, th..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 29번 ] ❶ Each species of animals can detect a different range of odours. ❷ No species can detect all the molecules that are present in the environment in which it lives ― there are some things that we cannot smell but which some other animals can, and vice versa. ❸ There are also differences between individuals, relating to the ability to smell an odour, or how pleas..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 24번 ] Chewing leads to smaller particles for swallowing, and more exposed surface area for digestive enzymes to act on. In other words, it means the extraction of more fuel and raw materials from a mouthful of food. This is especially important for mammals because they heat their bodies from within. Chewing gives mammals the energy needed to be active not only durin..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 22번 ] FOBO, or Fear of a Better Option, is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it undesirable to commit to existing choices when making a decision. It’s an affliction of abundance that drives you to keep all of your options open and to avoid risks. Rather than assessing your options, choosing one, and moving on with your day, you delay the..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 21번 ] With the Internet, everything changed. Product problems, overpromises, the lack of customer support, differential pricing ― all of the issues that customers actually experienced from a marketing organization suddenly popped out of the box. No longer were there any controlled communications or even business systems. Consumers could generally learn through the W..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 20번 ] When I was in high school, we had students who could study in the coffee shop and not get distracted by the noise or everything happening around them. We also had students who could not study if the library was not super quiet. The latter students suffered because even in the library, it was impossible to get the type of complete silence they sought. These stu..

Anne 숑 · [고1] 2020 11월 [ 19번 ]On my seventh birthday, my mom surprised me with a puppy waiting on a leash. It had beautiful golden fur and an adorable tail. It was exactly what I had always dreamed of. I took the dog everywhere and slept with it every night. A few months later, the dog got out of the backyard and was lost. I sat on my bed and cried for hours while my mother watched me silen..
