The news media are hungry for new findings, and reporters often latch onto ideas from the scientific laboratories before they have been fully tested. ①Also, a reporter who lacks a strong understanding of science may misunderstand or misreport complex scientific principles. ②To tell the truth, sometimes scientists get excited about their findings, too, and leak them to the press before they have been through a thorough review by the scientists’ peers. ③A corrupt press often leaks distorted information to the public for the sake of its own benefit. ④As a result, the public is often exposed to late-breaking nutrition news stories before the findings are fully confirmed. ⑤Then, when the hypothesis being tested fails to hold up to a later challenge, consumers feel betrayed by what is simply the normal course of science at work. * latch onto ~을 입수하다

Interest in extremely long periods of time sets geology and astronomy apart from other sciences. Geologists think in terms of billions of years for the age of Earth and its oldest rocks — numbers ①that, like the national debt, are not easily understood. Nevertheless, the time scales of geological activity are important for environmental geologists because they provide a way ②to measure human impacts on the natural world. For example, we would like to know the rate of natural soil formation from solid rock to determine ③whether topsoil erosion from agriculture is too great. Likewise, understanding how climate has changed over millions of years ④are vital to properly assess current global warming trends. Clues to past environmental change are well ⑤preserved in many different kinds of rocks. *astronomy 천문학 ** erosion 부식, 침식
