Chocolate is Joanne's Achilles' heel.

Achilles was half human and half god. His mother was a goddess named Thetis and his father was a human being ①named Peleus. Thetis did not like the fact that Achilles was half mortal so she looked for a way ②to make him fully immortal.

㉮After that, Achilles' only weakness was the part of him untouched by the water, his heels. Achilles grew up ③to be a great warrior and was victorious in many battles.

㉯No human being could beat him in a fight because he seemed to have no weaknesses.

㉰One way she found ④was to dip baby Achilles in the river Styx. Thetis dipped Achilles into the river by holding him by the heels.

㉱However, during the Trojan War, his enemy shot a poisonous. arrow into his heel, and Achilles was killed.

In modern day language, the term "Achilles' heel" ⑤is used to referring to someone's weakness. The example sentence Chocolate is Joanne's Achilles' heel means that Joanne has a weakness for chocolate and cannot live without it. So other people can get Joanne to do what they want by giving her chocolate.

Losing weight is a Herculean task for Chris.

Like Achilles, Hercules was half god and half human. He was born to Zeus and a mortal mother and ①possessed god－like strength. When Hera, Zeus' jealous wife, sent two huge snakes to kill baby Hercules, Hercules simply killed them ㉮(      ) his bare hands. As Hercules grew older, he became stronger and faced many difficult physical challenges. ②Thanks to his unbelievable strength, he ③was able to overcome the challenges.

We now use the term "Herculean task" to refer to a very difficult task. The example sentence Losing weight ④are a Herculean task for Chris means that it ⑤is very difficult for Chris to lose weight. It doesn't mean that losing weight is impossible for Chris but that it would require a great effort.

<9~10> 다음 문장을 읽고 알맞은 답을 고르시오.

According to Greek mythology, Pandora was the first mortal woman in the world. Zeus ordered Pandora to be made from water and earth. ㉮The other gods blessed her with many talents. ㉯The name Pandora means "all－gifted": Aphrodite made Pandora beautiful, Apollo gave her the gift of music, and Hermes gave her the power of persuasion. ㉰Zeus gave her a box which she was never to open. Naturally, driven by curiosity, Pandora opened the box and released the evil spirits on the world. ㉱She quickly closed the box but it was too late. ㉲We now use the expression "opening Pandora's box" mean unintentionally creating an uncontrollable and terrible situation. The example sentence The technology of human cloning may open Pandora's box means that the scientist's good intention of human cloning may bring many problems with it.
