밑줄 친 the stuff of legends가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?

You are much more than just a list of your accomplishments. It’s not only what you do, but how you do it that counts in the real scorebook of your life. Making the spectacular diving catch says more about you than the “out” that is recorded in the scorebook. It says you have game. It says you give 110%. Every performance in your life becomes a choice you have to make. Will you do just enough to get by, letting the ball drop in front of you for a base hit? Or will you push yourself to perform like an all-star, the legendary player you know you can be, and dive for the ball? Your special effort will be recorded in the minds and memories of others. More importantly, you will have the peace of mind and self-respect that come from knowing that you gave your very best — even if you don’t end up making the catch. That’s the stuff of legends.

① the real power of old traditions

② the moment you set a new score

③ the illusion of personal achievement

④ the great effort that will be remembered

⑤ the time your skill considerably improves

다음 빈칸에 들어갈 말로 가장 적절한 것은?

You may have noticed that people differ in the schemas they tend to use when evaluating others. College professors are often concerned with whether someone is smart, sales managers with whether someone is persuasive, and those involved in the entertainment business with whether someone has charisma. As these examples illustrate, the role of the evaluator or the context in which a target person is encountered often influences which traits or schemas are used. But sometimes the schema is simply determined by             : if a person uses a particular schema frequently, it may become chronically accessible and therefore likely to be used still more frequently in the future. A frequently activated schema functions much like a recently activated one: its heightened accessibility increases the likelihood that it will be applied to understanding a new stimulus.

① job

② habit

③ status

④ evaluation

⑤ surroundings

A diverse garden will become a habitat for a variety of bird species. But if all the birds were to sing at the same time, each one’s melody would be drowned out in the cacophony of voices.

(A) Unfortunately, it changes constantly, as throughout spring, the sunrise takes place a little earlier each day, until the summer solstice on June 21, when it starts getting later again.

(B) In order for each singer to be adequately appreciated by his rivals or his sweetheart, each species focuses on a specific time in the morning. Or rather, not a time, but a certain position of the sun. These are relative to sunrise, a precisely definable event.

(C) So, bird song is perhaps not ideal as a genuine replacement for your watch, although each species tends to observe its relative time slot, day by day, with astonishing accuracy.

For example, Williams and Sommer found that women responded to ostracism by increasing their efforts on a subsequent group task.

Several studies have shown that individuals who are ostracized, excluded, or rejected by others behave in ways that will increase their chances of eventually becoming accepted. ( ① ) These behaviors range from working harder in group settings, to conforming to group perceptions, or being more sensitive to information about others. ( ② ) Similarly, Williams, Cheung, and Choi observed that ostracized individuals were more likely than others to conform to the opinions of other people. ( ③ ) Thus, these studies show that in response to social rejection, people seek to reconnect themselves with their social worlds. ( ④ ) In addition, Gardner, Pickett, and Brewer found that individuals who experience social rejection are more likely to remember socially relevant information. ( ⑤ ) Thus, belongingness needs appear to guide the processing and retention of information that is consistent with one’s motive.
