문제. [41~42] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

One way to avoid contributing to overhyping a story would be to say nothing. However, that is not a realistic option (for scientists) [who feel a strong sense of responsibility] <to inform the public and policymakers and/or to offer suggestions>.

 

<Speaking with members of the media> has (a)advantages in getting a message out and perhaps receiving favorable recognition, but it runs the risk of misinterpretations, the need for repeated clarifications, and entanglement in never-ending controversy.

 

Hence, the decision of whether to speak with the media tends to be highly individualized.

 

Decades ago, it was (b)unusual (for Earth scientists) <to have results [that were of interest to the media]>, and consequently few media contacts were expected or encouraged.

 

In the 1970s, the few scientists [who spoke frequently with the media] were often (c)criticized by their fellow scientists for having done so.

 

The situation now is quite different, [as many scientists feel a responsibility to speak out because of the importance of global warming and related issues], and many reporters share these feelings.

 

In addition, many scientists are finding [that they (d)enjoy the media attention and the public recognition [that comes with it]].

 

At the same time, other scientists continue to resist speaking with reporters, thereby preserving more time for their science and (e)running the risk of being misquoted and the other unpleasantries <associated with media coverage>.

*overhype: 과대광고하다 **entanglement: 얽힘

풀이: 첫문장 “이야기를 과장하게 하는데 기여하는 것을 피하는 방법은 아무런 말도 하지 않는 것이다.” 라는 첫 문장을 통해 유추해 볼 수 있는 지문은 과학자들이 언론에 얘기를 할 것인지 아닌지이다. 쉽게 표현해 보자면 괜히 긁어 부스럼을 만들지 않는 것이다. 좀더 구체적으로 알아보면 과학자가 언론과 대화를 하면 메시지를 전달하고 인정을 받을 수 있는 장점이 있지만 오해와 해명할 필요와 논라의 위험이 있어서 언론과 대화할지의 여부는 개인적으로 결정되는 경향이 있다.
