William Faulkner is a celebrated writer from the United States.
He is famous for his novels, many of which deal with the dramatic economic and

(A) Following his first success, he went on to publish several more novels
and eventually moved to Hollywood to write screenplays in order to earn more
money.
(B) He was able to publish two books, but neither received any critical
acclaim. However, his third novel, The Sound and the Fury, was praised
by critics and finally created some attention for his work.
(C) What many Faulkner fans don’t realize, though, is that he began as a
poet. He wrote poetry until his early 20s, but his works were consistently
refused by publishers. After several years of rejection and frustration,
Faulkner gave up poetry and began to write novels.

글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?
Affecting only about one in 4 million children worldwide, progeria is a condition that produces the
appearance of premature
aging and dramatically reduces life expectancy to about 13 years. Although babies with progeria appear normal at birth, they begin to show signs of the disease before the end of their first year. They grow and
gain weight at a much slower rate
than others their age, their
skin begins to look thin and wrinkled, and their features appear pinched and small
in proportion to the size of
their heads, which fail to grow hair. They develop normal intelligence as they
mature, but the symptoms of the condition, like stiff joints and cardiovascular disease, prevent them from experiencing a normal childhood. There
is currently no cure or any treatment for progeria, but scientists have discovered that this terrible
disorder is caused by the mutation of a gene called LMNA. Normally, LMNA produces a protein that stabilizes the
nuclei found in cells. However, in
children with progeria, the
protein produces the opposite effect, resulting
in the rapid deterioration of the cardiovascular, muscular, and
skeletal systems.
① Progeria is a relatively rare childhood disease caused by
a genetic mutation.
② A child suffering from progeria will be affected
physically but not mentally.
③ Symptoms of progeria are not immediately recognizable in
newborns.
④ Lack of the LMNA gene can lead to the gradual breakdown of
bodily systems.
