Many people use their cleverness to justify and excuse themselves for the messiness of their workspaces. They say things like, “I know where everything is.” Or they say non-humorous things such as, “A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind.” However, people who say they know where everything is turn out to be using a large amount of their mental capacity and creative energies remembering where they placed things, rather than doing the job. If they worked in a well-organized environment for any length of time, they would be surprised at how much more productive they were. If you have a tendency to attempt to explain a messy desk or work area, challenge yourself to work with a clean desk for an entire day. The result will amaze you.

Today’s world is getting smaller and smaller as communication and transportation become cheaper, easier, and faster. Think about all of the almost improbable experiences that happen in your life. You’re at the airport, you start talking to the person seated next to you, and it turns out he knows your old friend from high school. Or you are in another country and you meet someone who has a cousin that went to college with your brother. You never know who you are going to meet when you attend an association meeting or professional seminar. No matter how much work you have on your desk or how many items are still on your to-do list, remember to slow down enough to reach out and connect with new people and old friends. When we connect, we energize ourselves and others.

Art is not rare, remote, precious, and restricted to old pictures in museums or symphonies in concert halls. Art is intimately, essentially interwoven with every thread of daily life─in the neckties, scarves, clothes we wear; in the design of our chairs, rugs and kitchens; in the style of the homes we build and the autos we buy; in the shows we enjoy on stage, screen, and TV; in the melodies we whistle or sing or dance to. Therefore, art and our daily lives are closely related to each other. A life deprived of the treasures and pleasures that art affords us would be no life at all─at least not on the human level. Man is man, significantly more than a dumb beast, because man as man has always been a creative artist in his daily life, and still is.

3. 다음 글에서 청소년 지도에 관하여 필자가 주장하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?

Many young people find themselves in some sort of trouble at school during their teen years. Usually a talk and some form of simple punishment from teachers or school administrators are enough to keep students from repeating their offenses. However, some youths are not affected by lectures or warnings, and unfortunately they go on to more serious crimes such as vandalism or theft. In these cases, schools should hold parents responsible for their children’s behavior. If a father has to pay for the window broken by his son, he will take a more active role in controlling that son’s behavior. Discipline and control begin at home where parents are responsible for instilling values in their children.

Reducing the number of people living in extreme poverty throughout the world is clearly one of the great moral challenges of our time. We should not limit so important a topic to specialized courses on international development. The issue should be prominent in anthropology, cultural studies, economics, ethics, and sociology. In political-science courses, we should ask why we pay so little attention to people living in poverty outside our borders. Psychology courses could take up the factors that limit our willingness to give to distant strangers. Engineers might increase the amount of class time they devote to how their skills can be applied to assist the world’s poorest people. Medical schools could focus more on the global burden of disease and how it might be reduced. People should begin to think about their responsibilities to the poor when they are at school.

An ethical issue in health care is based on the possible conflict between patient autonomy (the right to make decisions on personal health care) and providers’ sense of paternalism in relationships with patients. Paternalistic providers see themselves in a parental role believing they know what is best for their “child” (i.e., patient). In essence, paternalism is a poor practice as it fails to take into consideration the preferences, beliefs, and practices of patients, especially those that could be of most benefit to them. Yet, there are times when patients’ preferences are unknown because of their incapacity to express them. Conversely, the principle of autonomy establishes patients’ rights to self-determination, that is, the right of patients to choose their own life plans and courses of action. This right is considered paramount even if health professionals judge patient decisions as being damaging to their health.

The time a teleworker gains by not commuting can be used ① to do volunteer work in his or her community. The teleworker can use his or her extra time to be a more ② involved member of the community. The teleworker can participate in activities such as helping ③ plant a tree in the new park, donating some books to the local library, reading them to children, or ④ play soccer or baseball with children. Is it too idealistic to enjoy time together while making the world a better place? Maybe, but we can try a new lifestyle when breaking the chains that tie us to a ⑤ fixed workplace.
