When trying to sustain an independent ethos, cultures face a problem of critical mass. No single individual, acting on his or her own, can produce an ethos.
(A) They manage this feat through a combination of trade, to support their way of life, and geographic isolation. The Inuit occupy remote territory, removed from major population centers of Canada. If crosscultural contact were to become sufficiently close, the Inuit ethos would disappear.
(B) Rather, an ethos results from the interdependent acts of many individuals. This cluster of produced meaning may require some degree of insulation from larger and wealthier outside forces. The Canadian Inuit maintain their own ethos, even though they number no more than twentyfour thousand.
(C) Distinct cultural groups of similar size do not, in the long run, persist in downtown Toronto, Canada, where they come in contact with many outside influences and pursue essentially Western paths for their lives. [3점]

Heat is lost at the surface, so the more surface area you have relative to volume, the harder you must work to stay warm. That means that little creatures have to
produce heat more rapidly than large creatures.
(A) Despite the vast differences in heart rates, nearly all mammals have about 800 million heartbeats in them if they live an average life. The exception is humans. We pass 800 million heartbeats after twentyfive years, and just keep on going for another fifty years and 1.6 billion heartbeats or so.
(B) They must therefore lead completely different lifestyles. An elephant’s heart beats just thirty times a minute, a human’s sixty, a cow’s between fifty and eighty, but a mouse’s beats six hundred times a minute — ten times a second. Every day, just to survive, the mouse must eat about 50 percent of its own body weight.
(C) We humans, by contrast, need to consume only about 2 percent of our body weight to supply our energy requirements. One area where animals are curiously
uniform is with the number of heartbeats they have in a lifetime. [3점]

It is possible to argue, for example, that, today, the influence of books is vastly overshadowed by that of television.
Interest in ideology in children’s literature arises from a belief that children’s literary texts are culturally formative, and of massive importance educationally, intellectually, and socially. ( ① ) Perhaps more than any other texts, they reflect society as it wishes to be, as it wishes to be seen, and as it unconsciously reveals itself to be, at least to writers. ( ② ) Clearly, literature is not the only socializing
agent in the life of children, even among the media. ( ③ ) There is, however, a considerable degree of interaction between the two media. ( ④ ) Many socalled children’s literary classics are televised, and the resultant new book editions strongly suggest that viewing can encourage subsequent reading. ( ⑤ ) Similarly, some television series for children are published in book form.
