[1~2] Read the paragraph below and answer the following questions.
The Australian continent's impoverished soils and dry seasons offer little support for green life. Some members of the Gondwanic rainforest manage to adapt. However, only the eucalyptus tree flourished because it is uniquely able to utilize the nutrients released by fire and then to store those nutrients for later use. The eucalyptus tree also has characteristically thick bark resisting damage from fire. In fact, it is so resilient against fire that if branches are burned-off, new ones will emerge. If the bole is damaged by fire, a new trunk will grow.

5. On the surface, e-commerce appears to offer a big environmental bonus by eliminating hundreds of thousands of trips to the shopping mall. A closer look, however, reveals that e-commerce may not be so friendly to the environment. On-line book shopping, for example, may reduce energy use by less frequent visits to bookstores, but this actually creates more serious problems. Every book ordered on the Web is heavily packaged and travels on a transportation network. Instead of shipping, say, 10 copies of “Harry Potter” in one box to a bookstore, 10 boxes with one copy are shipped to e-commerce customers. After all, this method requires more plastic bags which take a long time to decay. [3.5점]

7. In our pursuit of good health and shapeliness, most of us think immediately of dieting. If only we could eat less, we think, we'd soon be slim, happy and life would be problem-free. It's true that dieting is one answer, though it can be the most agonizing and psychologically destructive. So why not think about it another way. Maybe it's not that we eat too much, but that we exercise too little. Most of us lead terribly *sedentary lives. Taking regular exercise can mean that you can eat decent, satisfying amounts, while not endangering your figure at all. Exercise, or better still sport, can change your whole attitude to life.

Good day ladies and gentlemen. I'm the manager of this health club. First, I would like to thank you for coming today. Before we do anything else, I would like to call your attention to the opening announcement of the Seoul Health Club. At the last meeting we gave out a schedule for our opening announcement, but unfortunately there have been some changes. Let's take a look at it for a second. First of all, we are going to open our health club on Sunday the 13th of July 2005, instead of Saturday. Because Sunday is better to get attention from the customers. It will be held in opposite side of the Intercontinental Hotel. We will open from 10 in the morning to 11 at night every day. Also, we have a very special program for the opening day. The customers can use our health club for free from 10 a.m. to noon. We'll have lunch at 12, but there has been a change in the menu. At the buffet there will not be an Italian section, just Korean and American dishes will be available. Next we have a free lecture from 3 for an hour. The party and dance time has been extended for an hour, so instead of ending at 17:00 it will end at 18:00. For those of you who bring your cars, there has been a change as well. Instead of parking on level 2 we will be using the level 3 parking area. Thank you, and again I am sorry for the changes. Thanks for your listening.

And in forty two countries, available supplies of food were not adequate to supply the caloric requirements of their populations. The factors that have caused this food crisis are the main theme of this column.
