(A) As the common saying from the Bible goes, “Pride goes before the fall.” It’s a saying that describes how
overconfidence can be our downfall. In war or athletics, believing your opponent to be inferior to you, or
underestimating their abilities can cause your defeat. This idea proved correct during the famous Trojan War.
It is the end of the war that demonstrates how pride can cause a person’s or a country’s downfall.
As the story goes…
(A) The city of Troy was protected by a high wall built around the city. Some parts of the wall were 20
feet high! There were gates in the wall to let people in and out but it provided great defense for the people
of Troy. It gave the Trojan warriors a relatively safe place to stand, while they rained arrows down on the
people below, who were trying to break into the city. At the time of this story, Greek warriors had been
trying to breach the wall around Troy for about ten years. The Greeks could not find a way in, and the
Trojans did not seem able to drive the Greeks away. 
(B) That night, while the Trojan people were sleeping, the men hiding inside the wooden horse climbed
out and opened the gates. The waiting Greek army entered Troy. They then began attacking Trojans as
they slept and finally defeated the mighty city of Troy.
(C) Things looked pretty hopeless until Odysseus, a famous ancient Greek general, thought of a trick. It
was the custom back then to leave a peace offering behind to admit defeat. Odysseus suggested the
Greeks build a huge, heavy, beautiful wooden horse, and leave it outside the gates of Troy. Then, the
entire Greek army would pretend to leave, as if they were headed for home. But it was a trick. The horse
would be hollow. Thirty men would be hiding inside. The very best Greek artists got busy carving the
giant wooden horse, adding great detail, because everything in the Greek world had to be as beautiful as
possible. 
(D) There was an ancient city on the coast of Turkey named Troy. It was located across the Aegean Sea
from the Greek city-state of Sparta. When the king of Sparta heard that his wife, the beautiful Helen, had
been kidnapped by a prince of Troy, he called on the other Greek city-states to help him get her back. His
call was answered. A thousand Greek ships set sail for Troy.  (A) LOHAS is getting popular in developed countries, including Japan and U.S.
(E) When it was done, the Greek warriors pretended to sail away, leaving the horse behind. The people of
Troy rushed outside, cheering their victory! They dragged the heavy horse inside the city gates and put it
3/5
on display, which is just what the Greek general thought they would do - gloat.
From the story, we have a clear notion that the Trojans were defeated not by sheer force or a better
trained army. The Greeks knew the fact that the Trojans were proud people to gain victory. The Trojans
underestimated the Greeks ability to do what was necessary to win and paid a price for it.
60. Please put each piece of the story (A-E) in a correct order.
(A) DCEBA
(B) DBCAE
(C) DACEB
(D) DCBEA
61. Which of the following statements is true about the Trojans?
(A) They were protected by the wooden horse created by a highly skilled craft.
(B) They assumed that the Greek warriors pretended to admit defeat and leave.
(C) They were finally unpredictably defeated by the Greeks at the end of the war.
(D) They were attacked by troops of the best trained armed force in the world.
62. Which of the following is closest to the bold word “gloat” in the reading?
(A) to manifest satisfaction of their victory (B) to combat dangers in astonishment
(C) to defend themselves on full alert (D) to conduct themselves and launch an attack
63. What is the moral lesson of the story?
(A) Stay positive: Conquer anger, or anger costs us dearly.
(B) Stay content: Vanity and greed will always lead to sadness
(C) Stay active: Grab every chance in your life and don’t waste time
(D) Stay humble: Never believe that you are above anyone.
(B) LOHAS is an acronym for “lifestyles of health and sustainability.” It is a way of life that originated in
the United States about a decade ago. LOHAS consumers are those who have strong passions for issues like
the environment, sustainability and health. As sensible consumers who are environmentally-friendly, they
prefer products such as organic soap, recycled paper, solar heating and herbal tea.
Nowadays, roughly 30% of American people are considered LOHAS consumers, 40% of whom require
that products be organic. For these consumers, whether the products are environmentally-friendly or not is a
key factor in deciding what to buy. The idea of LOHAS continues to increase organic sales in the US. The
US market for organic food is growing by about 3.5 billion US dollars a year, according to the result of
Sustainability Research.
The LOHAS trend is also beginning to catch on in other developed countries where lots of
“workaholics” seek quick fixes for stress and thinking green is becoming fashionable. Japan is among these
countries that welcome the idea of LOHAS. Japanese people take a nature-loving view on life and they enjoy
everything that nature has to offer, such as hot springs and seasonal delicacies. A Tokyo department store
even has a section for LOHAS goods, and many Japanese magazines are singing the praises of the LOHAS
lifestyle, including yoga, organic wine, and aroma therapy.
It seems that people can’t get enough of LOHAS, and undoubtedly, this LOHAS trend will keep going
on. It will continue to have a positive influence on people and the environment all around the world.
64. What is the main idea of the passage?
(B) The concept of LOHAS applies to food, cosmetics, body care, and clothing.
(C) Green products are now widely available and the price has declined.
(D) LOHAS consumption plays an important role in fighting global warming.
