Exercise 04

People have a strong desire to define categories

using rules. ① It is a natural human goal to
impose order and sense on the world, to be
able to know what boxes everything should go
into, with no ambiguity. ② The disappointing
aspect is that this urge has failed in almost
every attempt. Most natural categories simply do
not have a definition or rule that comes close to
working. ③ Even human-made categories in
systems of rules, like games, legal systems,
official diagnostic categories, and the like can put
only so much order into the universe. ④ here
are always test cases that seem to break the
rules ― unclear category membership, not fitting
into any category, or just giving the wrong
answer. ⑤ No religion, legal system, or
bureaucracy can completely control the variation
and weird events that occur even in limited
worlds like baseball or disease classification.

Exercise 04

The ethos of the American mind includes the

belief that people who overcome a crisis are
tough and unemotional, almost like the US
version of the English expression “keep a stiff
upper lip.” Yet, the body of research exploring
the most productive ways to respond to
adversity and stress (which crises have in spades)
contradicts this view. The findings indicate that
emotional expression (i.e., talking about your
feelings rather than bottling them up) is
associated with increased adaptation and growth.
So, whether you’re experiencing fear, frustration,
anger, despair, or any other emotion, share them
with others. You’ll feel better from having an
emotional release and feel support from those
with whom you share. Plus, the opportunity to
process your emotions with a trusted friend will
put you in a better space from which to tackle
the crisis. As Nelson Mandela put it, “Live life as
though nobody is watching, and express yourself
as though everyone is listening.”
* ethos: (특정 집단·사회의) 기풍, 정신
** in spades: 확실히

25) 윗글의 내용과 일치하는 것은?

① Live a life that is faithful to your moral rules for
an ethical life.
② Maintain inner strength and self-restraint to
restore trust.
③ Share your feelings with others to overcome the
crisis.
④ Refrain from expressing overly negative emotions
in order to maintain smooth human relationships.
⑤ Keep stress at an appropriate level to develop
your ability to cope with situations.

Exercise 04

Freud long ago distinguished between the

conscious and the unconscious minds. But
today’s understanding of the unconscious mind is
not Freud’s seething unconsciousness, with its
repressed impulses and instincts. It’s a cooler and
bigger information processing system. Our
memory, thinking, language, attitudes, and
perceptions all operate on these two tracks ― a
conscious, deliberate “high road” and an
unconscious, automatic “low road.” Our high-road
mind is reflective; our low-road mind is intuitive.
Consider driving: Your brain and hands know
how to move into the right lane. But if you are
like most drivers, you can’t consciously explain
how you do it. Most drivers say they would turn
right, then straighten out. But that would steer
them off the road. Actually, after moving right,
you reverse the steering wheel equally to the left
of center, and only then return to the center
position. But no worries, your low-road-guided
hands know how to do it.
* seething: 소용돌이치는, 야단법석하는

33) 윗글의 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?

① Today’s understanding of the unconscious mind
is different from Freud’s view..
② Our memory, thinking, language, and attitudes
operate through both conscious and intentional
paths, and unconscious and automatic ones.
③ Our high-road consciousness is intuitive, while our
low-road consciousness is instinctive.
④ Our brain and hands know how to move into the
right lane, but most drivers cannot consciously
explain how they do it.
⑤ Most drivers say they will change to the right
lane and then continue straight ahead.

cognition that is most open to change, and in
this case it is one’s cognitions about

stereotypes to evaluate others, we simply do not
allow ourselves to come to such a conclusion,
and we instead convince ourselves that we are
indeed a fair, logical thinker by making our
social judgments after a considered assessment

Exercise 04

In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle used the

example of a builder and a shoemaker to
demonstrate an important point. If the builder
constructs a house for the shoemaker, then the
shoemaker must pay for the work in shoes. “But
to determine how many shoes will be paid to
the builder, a proportional equality must be
established between the goods, and then
reciprocity effected. Only then will the fair
exchange be realized. But if there is no
proportionality, the exchange is not equal and
fair and will not hold together.” The builder
would not have need of as many pairs of shoes
necessary to compensate him. This is where
money enters. It serves as a proportional
medium of exchange. The proper proportion of
shoes to the house in money terms makes the
deal just. It is not simply a pricing mechanism
but must be capable of producing well-being as
well. “Thus, money acts like a measure: it makes
goods commensurable and equalizes them. For
just as there is no community without exchange,
there is no exchange without equality and no
equality without commensurability.”

Exercise 04

Power is a common form of the urge for

control. There is an entire social science, political
science, devoted to studying power ― and that
is a persuasive sign that it is an important and
fundamental aspect of human life. Power
essentially involves control over other people.
Researcher David G. Winter defined it as the
ability to produce intended effects on another
person’s actions or emotions. Some may seek
power as a means to an end, such as on the
assumption that once one is elected, one will be
able to bring about certain much-wanted
changes. But others probably seek power for its
own sake and derive satisfaction directly from
being able to make other people change the
way they act. Actually, the specific goal of
people with a high craving for power appears to
be that they want to have an impact on other
people’s lives, which does not necessarily mean
making people do things. Having an impact can
be for good or ill, and a person with a high
desire for power may enjoy giving money to a
struggling family simply because it is satisfying to
see how much she was able to change that
family’s life.

Targeting and segmentation are of prime

importance to media strategy. ① The increase in
the number of media channels and vehicles, and
the consequent fragmentation of media
audiences, mean that target groups of consumers
are both easier and more difficult to reach. ➁
They are easier to reach in the sense that
audiences have fragmented into narrow interest
groups that are served by thousands of special
interest magazines and TV channels. ➂ If an
advertiser wants to reach, say, trout fishermen,
sports car enthusiasts or TV drama fans, there
are specialist publications and TV shows that are
ideal vehicles for targeting such narrowly defined
audiences. ➃ Being able to target trout
fishermen is useful if you are selling fishing
tackle, but not for general fast-moving consumer
goods sales that require varied target groups. ➄
While trout fishermen probably have other
consumer interests too, media vehicles that cater
for one hobby are of limited use to most
advertisers.
* segmentation: 세분화 ** fragmentation: 분열

Encoding is the term that is most often used to

describe the way ①how information is put into
memory. Once an object, item, or event has
been attended to (or, in some cases, even if it is
not ②being attended to), it is a valid candidate
for encoding into memory. The encoding process
creates a mental representation based on the
amount of effort and detail that was processed
via attention. For example, ③suppose you are
shopping at a farmers' market for winter squash.
Each squash you see is given some low level of
processing so that what is encoded into memory
④is the experience of seeing many squashes.
This relatively shallow encoding will result in
relatively weak memory traces. However, if you
happened to see a squash that was unusually
shaped, or very large, or ⑤what really caught
your attention in some way, you might encode
with more effort and detail, and this would likely
result in a stronger memory trace for that

Exercise 06

A great example of why history matters ―

especially old histories ― is offered by taking a
close look at the word “creativity” itself. The
term’s etymological roots take us back to the
Latin verb creare, which meant bringing
something forth ― making or producing
something. However, this notion was not applied
to human creativity for several centuries. Instead,
the idea of “creation” was associated with God
and the generative powers of nature. Different
terms, ars and artis, more similar to today’s
notion of art, were applied to human forms of
making, both technical and artistic. As such, the
earliest, thirteenth-century, uses of “create” were
in the passive past participle (was created). It is
only in the fifteenth century that the present
tense (to create) and present participle (creating)
of the verb began to be used. Thus, for
hundreds of years, creativity was associated with
the divine as opposed to the human. This
conception was first challenged in the
Renaissance and replaced more or less entirely
during the Enlightenment.
* etymological: 어원의 ** participle: 분사

94) 윗글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것은?

activities

④ ambiguation of the word ‘creativity’

stance in journalism likely originated long ago as
a safeguard to prevent media members and
news organizations from pushing their own

democratic and egalitarian culture that preaches
