(Reason: The text explains that reaching this threshold leads to a transformation of value.)

(2) "For a virtual world to provide lasting, wide‑ranging value, its participants must be a large enough group to be considered a society." 

(가상 세계가 지속적이고 광범위한 가치를 제공하기 위해서는 참가자들이 사회로 간주될 만큼 충분히 큰 그룹이어야 합니다.)

* Suggested Answers

(1) Early dot-com investors prioritized revenue growth over net income.

(Reason: The text states that investors focused almost entirely on revenue growth.)

(2) Early dot-com companies earned most of their revenue from selling advertising space on their Web sites.

(Reason: The text explains that selling ad space was the primary revenue source.)

(3) The ad exchange practice boosted reported revenue by each company recording revenue for the value of the ad space given up and expense for the value of the ad placed on the other company's site. 

(Reason: The text describes the process of ad exchanges and its impact on reported revenue.)

주요 문장

(1) Many early dot‑com investors focused almost entirely on revenue growth instead of net income.

(Grammatical explanation: "Many early dot-com investors" is the subject, "focused" is the main verb, and "on revenue growth" is the adverbial phrase. "Instead of net income" is a prepositional phrase that further modifies the focus of the investors.)

(Semantic explanation: The sentence highlights that early dot-com investors prioritized revenue growth, often disregarding the importance of net income.)

(2) This practice did little to boost net income and ─ but it did boost reported revenue. 

(Grammatical explanation: "This practice" is the subject, "did little to boost" is the main verb phrase, and "net income" is the object. "And" is a coordinating conjunction connecting the two ideas, with "it" as the subject, "did boost" as the main verb phrase, and "reported revenue" as the object in the second part.) 

(Semantic explanation: The sentence emphasizes that the ad exchange practice had little impact on net income but significantly increased reported revenue, which was the primary focus of early dot-com investors.

(Reason: The text describes their research method.)

(3) The limitation of statistical models in changing environments is that they deny stable conditions and cannot account for the effects on demand of novel events, such as actions taken by competitors or the introduction of new products. 

(Reason: The text highlights the limitations of statistical models in changing environments.)

(그렇기 때문에, 변화하는 환경에서는 인간의 판단과 통계 모델을 결합하는 것이 유리할 수 있다.) 

(This sentence introduces the main idea of the text and suggests that the combination of human judgment and statistical models can be beneficial in changing environments.)

(2) The composite ─ or average of human judgments and statistical models ─ proved to be more accurate than either the statistical models or the managers working alone. 

(합성물 - 즉, 인간의 판단과 통계 모델의 평균은 통계 모델이나 혼자 일하는 관리자들보다 더 정확하다고 입증되었다.)

(This sentence presents the result of the research, showing that the combination of human judgment and statistical models leads to improved accuracy in forecasting.)

The text discusses the advantages of combining human judgment and statistical models in changing environments. 

In such environments, consistency may not always be a virtue, and human judgment, which can detect change, can be beneficial when combined with statistical models. 

The research conducted by Blattberg and Hoch explored this possibility by having supermarket managers forecast demand for certain products and creating a composite forecast based on their judgments and statistical models. 

The composite forecast proved to be more accurate than either the statistical models or the managers working alone, highlighting the potential benefits of combining human judgment and statistical models in changing environments.

(This sentence shows the main finding of a study that reveals the relationship between high fruit intake and reduced hippocampus volume in older adults, which is important to understanding the potential negative effects of consuming too much sweet fruit on the brain.)

(2) Researchers in the latter study noted that excessive consumption of high‑sugar fruit (such as mangoes, bananas, and pineapples) may cause metabolic and cognitive problems as much as processed carbs do. 

(This sentence highlights the researchers' observation that certain high-sugar fruits may have similar negative effects on metabolic and cognitive health as processed carbohydrates, emphasizing the potential risks of consuming excessive amounts of sweet fruit.)

Overall, the text discusses the potential consequences of consuming too many sweet fruits on the brain. It presents findings from studies that show a link between higher fruit intake and reduced volume in brain regions such as the hippocampus and cortex. This relationship is unusual, as a higher fruit intake is typically associated with health benefits.

2. Questions and Answers

Question 1: What are the main components of the brain in terms of nutritional content?

• Fats (lipids)
• Proteins and amino acids
• Micronutrients
• Glucose

Question 2: What roles do omegas 3 and 6 play in the brain?

• Omegas 3 and 6 are essential fatty acids that are crucial for the creation and maintenance of cell membranes. They have also been linked to preventing degenerative brain conditions.

Question 3: How do proteins and amino acids influence our feelings and behavior?

• Proteins and amino acids contain the precursors to neurotransmitters, which are the chemical messengers that carry signals between neurons. They affect mood, sleep, attentiveness, and weight.

Question 4: Why is it important to have a diet with a range of foods?

• A diet with a range of foods helps maintain a balanced combination of brain messengers, which keeps your mood from getting skewed in one direction or the other.

Question 5: What benefits do antioxidants provide for the brain?

• Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables strengthen the brain to fight off free radicals that destroy brain cells, enabling your brain to work well for a longer period of time.

Question 6: Which vitamins and minerals are fundamental to brain health and early cognitive development?

• Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid, and trace amounts of the minerals iron, copper, zinc, and sodium are fundamental to brain health and early cognitive development.

Question 7: What is the primary source of energy for the brain?

• The primary source of energy for the brain comes from carbohydrates that our body digests into glucose, or blood sugar.

Question 8: How do different types of carbohydrates affect our brain?

• High glycemic foods, like white bread, cause a rapid release of glucose into the blood, followed by a dip in blood sugar, which affects attention span and mood. Foods like oats, grains, and legumes have a slower glucose release, enabling a steadier level of attentiveness.

Question 9: Why is a varied diet of nutrient-rich foods important for sustained brain power?

• A varied diet of nutrient-rich foods is critical for sustained brain power because it provides the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals for the brain to function optimally and maintain long-lasting effects on its performance.

Question 3: How are habits formed in the brain?

• New neural pathways are formed when a behavior is repeated.
• The more a brain circuit fires, the easier it becomes for the brain to do the task without conscious thought.

Question 4: What are the three key ingredients of a habit, as described by Claude Hopkins?

• A cue, a behavior, and a reward.

Question 5: How does rewarding a behavior create a craving?

• Once a habit and a reward are tied together in the brain, the reward neurons start firing even before the behavior is done, causing a craving.

Question 6: Can the brain change its structure to form new habits?

• Yes, the brain is flexible and its chemistry constantly changes in response to various activities.
• Over time, if the same behaviors are repeated, the physical structure of the brain changes and creates new neural pathways.

Question 7: What is essential for making a habit?

• Repetition is essential for making a habit, as it creates new neural pathways in the brain.

Question 8: Why are bad habits hard to break?

• Bad habits are hard to break because they have woven new neural networks into the brain, which don't go away overnight.

Question 9: What is the recommended strategy for changing a habit?

• It is usually best to try and replace bad behavior with a new behavior instead of just trying to erase the pattern altogether.
