The Card Trick
Leo stood backstage, shuffling the same deck of cards for the tenth time, watching his hands tremble. In twenty minutes, he would walk onto the gym stage and try out for the school talent show with a magic trick he had practiced for weeks, but suddenly every card felt slippery, like his fingers had forgotten how to hold anything at all.
He had chosen magic because he loved surprising people, but now all he could think about was the row of judges sitting at a folding table, clipboards ready, and the dozen other students waiting their turn with guitars and dance shoes.
You're going to mess this up, a small voice inside him kept whispering.
Then his older sister, Camila, slipped through the curtain, still wearing her volleyball practice jersey. She wasn't even supposed to be backstage.
"I only have a minute," she said, "but I wanted to tell you something. Remember when I forgot my serve at regionals last year? You told me nobody remembers the mistakes — they remember that you showed up." She squeezed his shoulder. "Your hands know this trick better than your brain does right now. Just let them do it."
Leo looked down at the cards, and for the first time that afternoon, his fingers felt steady, like a rope pulled tight had finally been let go.
"Leo Reyes," a voice called from the stage.
He tucked the deck into his pocket and walked out from behind the curtain, his sister's words trailing behind him like a good-luck charm.

Should Students Listen to Music During Independent Work?
More teachers are being asked whether students should be allowed to wear headphones and listen to music while completing independent classwork, such as worksheets or reading assignments. Supporters argue that music can help students focus by blocking out distracting noises like hallway chatter or classmates talking nearby. They often point to a survey of middle school teachers in one Texas district, which found that over 60 percent noticed fewer off-task behaviors when students used headphones during quiet work time.
Other teachers disagree, arguing that headphones make it harder for them to get a student's attention quickly, since instructions or reminders might go unheard. They also worry that some students would use headphones as an excuse to watch videos or chat with friends through hidden earbuds instead of actually working.
A possible middle ground is allowing headphones only during specific "quiet work" blocks, with teachers reserving the right to ask any student to remove them if their work is not getting done. This approach could give focused students the benefit of blocking out noise while still allowing teachers to step in quickly when headphones become a distraction rather than a help.

A. A survey of middle school teachers in a Texas district
B. A personal story from a student

📖 정답 및 해설
- C — "watching his hands tremble"와 "every card felt slippery"와 같은 묘사에서, Diego가 발표를 앞두고 극도로 긴장하고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
- A — Camila가 배구 연습 중 무대 뒤로 찾아와 "I wanted to tell you something... You told me nobody remembers the mistakes — they remember that you showed up."라고 말하는 장면에서, 조용히 격려하려는 의도임을 알 수 있습니다.
- D — Camila의 말을 들은 직후 "Leo looked down at the cards... his fingers felt steady"라는 문장에 이어 "'Leo Reyes,' a voice called from the stage."라는 문장에서 순서를 확인할 수 있습니다.
- C — 긴장한 Diego가 누나의 짧은 격려의 말 한마디로 용기를 얻어 무대에 서는 이야기 전체 흐름에서, 작은 격려의 말이 누군가에게 도전에 맞설 자신감을 줄 수 있다는 주제를 확인할 수 있습니다.
- D — "his sister's words trailing behind him like a good-luck charm"이라는 비유는 Camila의 격려가 Diego에게 계속해서 위안과 힘이 되어주었음을 나타냅니다.
- A — "Camila slipped through the curtain"이라는 문맥에서, 조용하고 재빠르게 움직였다는 의미임을 알 수 있습니다.
- B — 지문 초반 "Music can help students focus by blocking out distracting noises like hallway chatter or classmates talking nearby"라는 부분에서 지지자들의 핵심 주장을 확인할 수 있습니다.
- C — "headphones make it harder for them to get a student's attention quickly, since instructions or reminders might go unheard"라는 문장에서 우려의 핵심을 알 수 있습니다.
- A — "a survey of middle school teachers in one Texas district, which found that over 60 percent noticed fewer off-task behaviors"라는 문장에서, 설문조사 결과라는 근거를 사용하고 있음을 알 수 있습니다.
- D — 지문 마지막 부분 "allowing headphones only during specific 'quiet work' blocks, with teachers reserving the right to ask any student to remove them"에서 절충안을 확인할 수 있습니다.
- B — "teachers reserving the right to ask any student to remove them"이라는 문맥에서, 그 권리를 계속 가지고 있다(보유하다)는 의미임을 추론할 수 있습니다.
- Part A/B (서술형, 2점) — 예시 답안 Part A: "헤드폰을 쓰면 교사가 지시사항이나 안내를 전달할 때 학생의 주의를 빠르게 끌기 어려워지기 때문이다." Part B 근거 문장: "Other teachers disagree, arguing that headphones make it harder for them to get a student's attention quickly, since instructions or reminders might go unheard." 채점 기준: Part A와 Part B가 논리적으로 서로 연결되어야 2점 만점이며, 한쪽만 정확하면 부분 점수(1점)를 받는 경우도 있습니다.
- C — 원래 문장에는 불필요한 대명사 "it"이 중복으로 들어가 있습니다. C는 이 중복을 제거해 문장을 자연스럽게 고쳤습니다.
- D — 문장 3(자신감·독립심 향상)과 문장 4(건강한 식습관)는 요리 배우기의 또 다른 장점을 추가로 설명하는 관계이므로, 추가를 나타내는 "In addition,"이 가장 적절합니다.
- B — B는 예시를 나타내는 구(such as pasta or scrambled eggs)와 분사구(by teaching skills)를 사용해 두 문장을 자연스럽고 문법적으로 올바르게 결합합니다. A는 콤마 스플라이스 오류, C는 논리적으로 맞지 않는 역접 접속사(but), D는 미완성 문장(목록)입니다.
- A — 이 문단은 어린 나이에 요리를 배우는 것의 다양한 장점을 설명하고 있으므로, 그 장점들을 아우르는 결론을 제시하는 A가 문단의 흐름과 주제를 가장 잘 뒷받침합니다.
- B — "Friday"는 요일을 나타내는 고유명사이므로 대문자로 시작해야 합니다.
- C — 주어 "Each vendor"는 단수이므로 동사도 단수형인 "was"와 일치해야 합니다 (주어-동사 수 일치 오류).
- A — "My partner and I"가 주어이므로 목적격 대명사 "me"가 아닌 주격 대명사 "I"를 써야 합니다.
- B — "market's busiest stand"는 시장의 소유를 나타내는 소유격이므로 아포스트로피(market's)가 필요합니다.
- ECR (서술형 에세이, 최대 10점) — 정해진 정답은 없습니다. 높은 점수를 받으려면: (1) 명확한 입장을 글 전체에서 일관되게 유지, (2) 구체적인 예시로 주장 뒷받침, (3) 서론-본론-결론의 명확한 구조, (4) 적절한 전환어 사용, (5) 문법·철자 오류 최소화가 필요합니다.
