In the same way [that it is sometimes advisable <to take a momentary break, or “fast,” from some of our food, beverages, and habits,>] a media fast may be good for your system. ① Spending a set period of time unplugged can clarify for you the advantages and disadvantages of your media practices. ② Life without electronic devices momentarily separates you from constant distraction, online advertisements, and artificial blue light. ③ You’ll have more time for other things, like physical activity, face-to-face interaction, and even solitude. ④ What is most important is to think carefully about what is gained and what is lost when you choose to engage in face-to-face communication, computer-mediated communication, or some combination of the two. ⑤ You’ll also have the opportunity to reflect critically on how life in the Communication Age differs from older modes of living and connecting and engaging with the world.

* solitude: 고독

To the extent [that one can distinguish self-esteem from public esteem], the latter seems to be more important. The overriding motive of narcissists seems to be to obtain social approval from others.

 

(A) That is, they spend much of their time and energy seeking ways to get others to admire them. In terms of being liked by others rather than admired, they are somewhat indifferent. That is, narcissists are no more nor less interested than anyone else in being liked.

(B) For example, if given a chance to tackle a difficult task and find out how good they are, narcissists put forth minimal effort if no one is looking, which is a sign that they do not really care about demonstrating their brilliance to themselves, whereas if others are watching, they put forth maximum effort in order to shine.

(C) Being admired, however, is extremely important to them. In general, they do not seem overly concerned with proving something to themselves (possibly because they are already privately persuaded of their own good qualities), but they are quite interested in demonstrating their superiority to others.

* overriding: 최우선시되는

① (A) - (C) - (B)                ② (B) - (A) - (C)                   ③ (B) - (C) - (A)

④ (C) - (A) - (B)                ⑤ (C) - (B) - (A)

One obvious area [where climbing and philosophy intersect] is with regard to the normative dimension of climbing — the ethical or unethical behavior of climbers. Some of the ethical issues in climbing involve a straightforward extension of more general moral principles.

 

(A) For these sorts of questions, broader moral rules do not apply in any straightforward way, and climbers must work out for themselves what is right or wrong within the context of climbing.

(B) For example, it is wrong <to lie about your climbing accomplishments> because it is generally wrong to lie about accomplishments; it is wrong to needlessly endanger others at the cliff because, more generally, it is always wrong to needlessly endanger others.

(C) However, other ethical issues involve factors that are unique to climbing and thus cannot be resolved by invoking broader moral rules. Is it wrong to place bolts on rappel? Is it cheating to use pre-placed gear on a traditional pitch?

* invoke: (법 등을) 적용하다 ** rappel: (암벽에서) 줄을 타고 내려오기 *** pitch: (등반) 구간

Equally important to perception, however, is top-down processing, [which involves previously acquired knowledge].

 

Sensation and perception almost always happen together. Researchers, however, have studied each process separately to determine how the two work together. ( ① ) Perception can occur through bottom-up processing, which begins with the physical stimuli from the environment, and proceeds through transduction of those stimuli into neural impulses. ( ② ) The signals are passed along to successively more complex brain regions, and ultimately result in the recognition of a visual stimulus. ( ③ ) For example, when you look at the face of your best friend, your eyes convert light energy into neural impulses, which travel into the brain to visual regions. ( ④ ) This information forms the basis for sensing the visual stimulus and ultimately its perception. ( ⑤ ) As a result, when you look at your best friend’s face, brain regions that store information about what faces look like, particularly those that are familiar to you, can help you to perceive and recognize the specific visual stimulus.

* transduction: (에너지 등의) 변환 ** neural: 신경의 *** impulse: 자극

Gender mainstreaming is based on the understanding that all policies have the potential to impact social and demographic groups differently, thus creating and sustaining unequal power relations.

 

The European Union, since the late 1990s, has embraced gender mainstreaming as its main strategy for addressing gender inequality in policy making. ( ① ) It is defined as the integration of the gender perspective into every stage of the policy process (design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation). ( ② ) For example, gender mainstreaming may explicitly consider the experiences of men, such as parental leave as a legal claim for men or labor policies for men in female-dominated occupations (e.g., nursing). ( ③ ) Gender mainstreaming can also apply to health care, equally promoting women’s and men’s health care needs. ( ④ ) In many countries, coronary heart disease is defined through a masculine lens, influencing all areas of medical care from prevention to recovery. ( ⑤ ) Not only does this lead to overlooking women’s heart health needs, but it also may negatively impact men who do not seem to fit the model of hegemonic masculinity.

* demographic: 인구 통계학의 ** coronary: 관상 동맥의 *** hegemonic masculinity: 헤게모니 남성성

 

hegemonic masculinity(헤게모니 남성성) 사회적으로 구성된 남성성으로, 가부장제에서 권위 있는 남성성을 대표한다.

Although a traditional textbook drawing suggests that neurons in the brain are happily packed next to one another like jelly beans in a jar, don’t let the cartoon fool you: neurons are locked in competition for survival. Just like neighboring nations, neurons stake out their territories and persistently defend them. They fight for territory and survival at every level of the system: each neuron and each connection between neurons fights for resources. As the border wars rage through the lifetime of a brain, maps are redrawn in such a way that the experiences and goals of a person are always reflected in the brain’s structure. If an accountant drops her career to become a pianist, the neural territory devoted to her fingers will expand; if she becomes a microscopist, her visual cortex will develop higher resolution for the small details she seeks; if she becomes a perfumer, her brain regions assigned to smell will enlarge.

* stake out: ~을 차지하다 ** cortex: (대뇌) 피질

[24~25] [지문] 다음 글을 읽고, 물음에 답하시오.

In Singapore, due to road pricing, one can always expect to be able to achieve a speed of 40 miles per hour on the road. While the rich are more likely to afford this, buses can also achieve these speeds, and with the economies of scale of a bus this (a) lowers the per-person trip price for achieving this speed. The full cost of commuting includes not only the out-of-pocket expenditure on gasoline, parking, and road use fees but the value of the lost time. If a commute takes thirty minutes rather than fifteen minutes because of traffic congestion, then the commuter has lost fifteen minutes. Economists have adopted the rule of thumb of (b) valuing such lost time by half of the person’s hourly wage. For example, if I earn ＄80 an hour and I lose fifteen minutes stuck in traffic, then this costs me ＄10 in lost time (.25 × 80 × .5).

To (c) conserve on such lost time due to congestion, cities such as Stockholm, London, and Singapore have adopted road pricing. Drivers in such cities move at higher speeds and save time but must pay more money out of pocket to travel at peak use times. One explanation for why so few cities have adopted road pricing focuses on behavioral economics: people are used to the roads being free. To an economist, this is a (d) puzzling explanation because congested roads cost us valuable time. This time cost means that free roads are not free to use. A second explanation for the (e) agreement to road pricing is that many poor people drive and they prefer to pay for their commute using their time rather than paying a road use fee.

* commute: 통근(하다) ** expenditure: 경비 *** congestion: 정체
