From about the 1850s the market had been flooded with anonymous bars of soap, produced by hundreds of small manufacturers and distributed by wholesalers and door-to-door sellers. Competition grew steadily throughout the latter half of the century and eventually the leading companies embarked on more aggressive selling methods in order to take custom away from their rivals.

Our neighbor is an affluent inventor whose latest brainstorm, a feasible umbrella substitute, has been featured in many magazines.

The other law that affects your tine is one you've heard for years: (나) ‘ ’.

(32~34) Read the following passage and answer the questions.

It is a safe assumption that the first time five thousand male human beings were ever gathered together in one place, they belonged to an army. That event probably occurred around 7,000 BC. The first army almost certainly carried weapons no different from those that hunters had been using on animals for thousands of years previously. It is strength did not lie in mere numbers. The multitude of men obeyed a single commander and killed his enemies to achieve his goals. It was th most awesome concentration of power the human world had ever seen, and nothing except another army could hope to resist it. The battle that occurred when two such armies fought has little in common with the clashes of primitive warfare. When the packed formations of well-drilled men collide on the forgotten battlefields of the earliest kingdoms, what happened was quite impersonal. It was not the traditional combat between individual warriors. The soldiers were pressed forward by the ranks behind them against the anonymous men in that part of the enemy line facing them.

The marketing world is full of folklore about consumer reactions to color. Color preference can often sound like a mix of fad and cultural custom, especially when the French will eat gray tinned peas and beans, while the British will not, and we prefer green appels to the American's glossy red. (A) However, there is more to color than meets the eye. The idea that color can affect the nervous system in some way seems strengthened by the fact that experiment have recorded raised blood pressure in red surroundings and lowered blood pressure in blue surrounding. (B) Red evokes subjective reactions of increased energy and hunger; blue evokes tranquility and relaxation. Whether knowingly or otherwise, the effects of seeing red have been cleverly exploited by fast food chains. (C) As well as making people

hungry, red and its close relation, orange, cause people to feel (가) . By using these colors, places like Mcdonald's create an atmosphere which increases the appetite but subtly dissuades the customer from hanging around for very long. (D) Color has also been used to striking effect in the marketing of consumer products. A group of housewives was once asked to test samples of identical soap powder three different boxes, one yellow, one blue and one a mix of blue and yellow. (E) Extraordinary results ensued: the powder in the yellow packet was judged to be so powerful that some said it had damaged their clothes, while the blue was said to be so weak that it left stains behind; the powder in the mix of blue and yellow was assessed as just right.

(38~40) Read the following passage and answer the questions.

There are over 8,000 species of ant, distributed everywhere on Earth except the polar regions. In Peru, 43 different kinds of ant have been recorded in a single tree. Compared to this, primates are a flash in the pan. Ants antedate us and will undoubtedly outlast us. There are a million times more of them. Unlike termites, ants, with a tough outer layer of chitin and a nasty whiff of formic acid in their body tissues, are generally undigestible, except by other ants. Even anteaters prefer termites. Ants, furthermore, are resistant to hard radiation and industrial pollution. Some can live in deserts and some can slow down and survive under water for days on end. Instead of the endless competition of human societies, where social hierarchies are continually demolished and rebuilt, ants have the division of labour written into their physiology. Ants waste no time and do not play.

They fight─in defence of the colony, the breeding unit─but they do not have civil wars or revolutions. The survival and expansion of the colony is the only aim of its members.

① a temporary success

② an unusual case
