A child can only improve her talking when she's ready for it; you can't force-feed language, because the baby just won't accept it. _____(A)____, a baby who is two months old can imitate and learn to use vowel sounds, but she can't manage consonants yet. She'll begin to pick them up in another couple of months, though. The baby's first year of language learning holds a number of keys to her later talking and thinking abilities. For example, her early babblings may give an idea of how intelligent the child is going to be; heavy babblers often grow up to be clever children. _____(B)_____, it can be disappointing that babies who can speak before they're expected to don't necessarily grow up to be more articulate or clever, because very early speech is more like imitation than considered utterances.

	(A)		(B)
①	Furthermore	…	On the other hand
②	Furthermore	…	As a result
③	For example	…	Similarly
④	For example	…	On the other hand
⑤	In contrast	…	Similarly

The French horn is from Germany. The Great Dane has no connection to Denmark. Cold-blooded animals often have warmer blood than warm-blooded animals. A cold is not caused by the cold. Death Valley is teeming with life. Starfish are not fish. These are just a few things I've been keeping in my little "Ironic Facts" file on my computer. Irony is named for "the Greek comic character Eiron, a clever underdog, who by his wit repeatedly triumphs over the boastful character of Alazon." But the stuff above is a different kind of irony. These ironies are a function of our ridiculously inaccurate language. I feel we need someone to come in and clean it all up, a Rudy Giuliani of English who would crack down on all lazy, loitering, leftover-from-other-eras words. But that'll never happen because the inertia of bad ideas is a powerful force.

If someone were to say, "He is a liberal talker," we might interpret liberal as a label for that person's political stance, or we might take it to mean that he or she is very talkative. Unless the user of the word offered a clue as to the intended meaning, we would have to rely on mere guesswork. If we were to hear a movie critic say, "Eddie Murphy's role was better than most," we would be left to speculate about whether the allusion to the role referred to the character part he was asked to play or his acting. Moreover, the claim that the role was better than most might be thought to mean that it was better than the majority of the parts he has been given in films or that his performance excelled that of most of the other performers in the film.

① 능숙한 청자는 행간의 숨은 의미를 잘 파악한다.

Pulitzer Prize-winning psychiatrist Robert Coles urges his students at Harvard Medical School to read George Eliot's Middlemarch and Walker Percy's The Moviegoer. Unlike standard textbooks, these novels explore in human terms many of the ethical issues that physicians face. Dr. John Stone of Emory University School Medicine recommends Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Albert Camus's The Plague for their insights into death and dying. "Literature," Stone says, "will help lead a young doctor to proper sensitivity; it will help to find the proper words for the proper moment; even to place the doctor, vicariously, in the patient's hospital bed." Through literature, young doctors can learn to understand other people not only objectively from the outside but subjectively from the inside. Indeed, they can learn ______________________________________.
