As for the question of what happens to all the cars [once a highway is replaced with a boulevard], evidence shows time and again [that removing highways actually reduces the number of cars on the road]. ① After the West Side Highway in New York was replaced, traffic in that section of Manhattan dropped from 140,000 to 95,000 vehicles per day. ② Many drivers switched to faster roads in New Jersey, and as New York City invested more in public transportation, some commuters switched their daily patterns to ride subways and buses. ③ The growing use of sustainable vehicles such as electric cars and buses helps to reduce air pollution in cities and serves as an alternative to the current transportation system. ④ Traffic is one of the bestknown examples of induced demand; the more roads, the more people will use them. ⑤ If the ultimate goal is to curb driving in a city and to move people away from unsustainable transportation sources, reducing the space allotted to cars is a good way to start.

* boulevard: 넓은 가로수 길 ** curb: 억제하다 *** allot: 할당하다

Creativity does not have to be connected to imagination. While imagination is characterized by independent, outside-the-box thinking, creativity is responding to a problem with the tools and knowledge in existence.

 

(A) The next steps were the slow and incremental development of electric typewriters and then the development of the modern personal computer. The computer made the typewriter obsolete, as computers offered all the features that typewriters offered as well as many improvements. Thus, a radical innovation took over an incrementalized product.

 

(B) In the beginning, typewriters were bulky and their keyboards were not standardized. So the next step was the standardization of the keyboard. The heavy and difficult to move typewriter gave way to the portable typewriter. But it was still a manual device.

 

(C) It is thinking within the box. The existing knowledge base, without using any imagination, can easily lead in the direction of modest incremental developments in existing products or services. One can easily observe this progression in the example of typewriters.

* incremental: 점진적인 ** obsolete: 더 이상 쓸모가 없는

Regardless of when the music cells first appeared, the notion [that such cells exist] raises the possibility [that the human brain evolved to engage in music]. Modern humans (Homo sapiens) have existed for around 300,000 years.

 

(A) Indeed, a fragment of a cave bear bone dated to 43,000 years ago was discovered in a Neanderthal cave in Slovenia with regular holes on one side of the bone. Whether this bone was indeed a flute remains the subject of substantial debate. On the one hand, data from a study of the bone suggest that the holes were generated by scavenging spotted hyenas.

 

(B) The oldest known musical instruments are flutes made from bones, discovered in southwestern Germany dating to 40,000 years ago. It has been suggested [that Neanderthals may also have engaged in music, including instrumental music].

 

(C) However, the arrangement of the holes, the lack of damage on the other side of the bone, and the finding that models of the bone when played generate a diatonic scale raise doubts that the holes were made by predators or scavengers. So we may not be the only hominids to have engaged in early forms of music.

In stark contrast is the process of coping with stress among those who are largely optimistic in their outlooks.

 

Self-referent social cognitions, such as optimism and pessimism, matter in coping with parental stress. ( ① ) Individuals who are consistently pessimistic accumulate effects of stress in a downward spiral of events, thoughts, emotions, and physiological states. ( ② ) They are more likely to create stressful circumstances for themselves and others, and to lose resources by causing others to respond negatively to them and by making poor decisions that expose them to more stressors. ( ③ ) These individuals manage to conserve resources and minimize exposure to new stressors, resulting in an upward spiral of coping. ( ④ ) For example, one study of parents of children with cancer found that mothers and fathers who did not expect a good outcome were highly distressed. ( ⑤ ) In contrast, those parents who remained optimistic about possible outcomes were more protected against stress, even in often dire circumstances over which the parents had little control.

* stark: 극명한 ** dire: 대단히 심각한

A 60,000-year-old burial site uncovered in Iraq, for instance, was found to contain eight different medicinal plants, including ephedra.

 

From the earliest times, medicinal plants have been crucial in sustaining the health and the well-being of mankind. ( ① ) Flaxseed, for example, provided its harvesters with a nutritious food oil, fuel, a cosmetic balm for the skin, and fiber to make fabric. ( ② ) At the same time, it was used to treat conditions such as bronchitis, respiratory congestion, and a number of digestive problems. ( ③ ) Given the life-enhancing benefits that this and so many other plants offered, it is hardly surprising that most cultures believed them to have magical as well as medicinal abilities. ( ④ ) It is reasonable <to assume [that for tens of thousands of years herbs were probably used as much for their ritual magical powers as for their medicinal qualities]>. ( ⑤ ) The inclusion of the plants in the tomb suggests they had supernatural significance as well as medicinal value.

* ephedra: 마황 ** flaxseed: 아마 씨 *** bronchitis: 기관지염

As we age, the way in which our bodies function begins to change and the use of technology can become increasingly difficult. This means that age-related physical impairments or cognitive conditions affect how older adults use computers and mobile devices. Furthermore, socioeconomic resources can also play a role. For example, a retiree may not have the financial means to afford an internet connection. There may also be personal barriers to overcome. For instance, people get anxious when faced with technical challenges. For older people, technological change does not only mean learning something new, but also learning under more difficult cognitive conditions. This means that seniors need more time to learn and change their behaviour. In addition, there is a lack of motivation to deal with new technology, as some people may tell themselves “It is not worth it at my age.” After retirement, people are no longer obliged to learn new technologies for their job; instead, they can choose to voluntarily use technology. Therefore, a technology must demonstrate a clear benefit (added value compared to traditional services, such as buying a train ticket at the counter) in order for them to adopt the new technology (e.g. to buy a train ticket via an app).

When it comes to climate change, there is a glaring (a) disconnect between what we know is happening and what we seem able or willing to do about it. Longtime climate campaigner George Marshall explored this disparity in his excellent and aptly titled book Don’t Even Think About It. He noted how the human brain is perfectly capable of simultaneously understanding and ignoring (b) abstract threats. When consequences seem distant or gradual, the rational part of our mind simply files them away for future reference and rarely (c) triggers the more instinctive, emotional pathways associated with quick action. (We do better responding to physical threats, such as spear thrusts and charging lions, the sorts of immediate problems that our ancestors evolved with.) Marshall’s book ends with a laundry list of strategies for bridging that mental gap, many of which rely on something else the human brain is known for: storytelling.

When complex ideas are attached to a narrative, they immediately become more (d) irrelevant. There is a reason why Plato framed so many of his philosophical dialogues around the drama of the trial of Socrates, and why Carl Sagan chose to teach astrophysics from the glowing deck of an imaginary spaceship. Stories engage parts of the brain left untouched by facts alone, releasing chemicals that (e) demonstrably change the way we think, feel, and remember. Learning about climate change is no different, and much of how we understand and act upon it will ultimately boil down to stories — those we tell, and, in another sense, those that it tells to us.

* disparity: 격차 ** thrust: 찌르기 *** astrophysics: 천체 물리학
