Which of the following is the most appropriate main idea?
Bruce Friedman, who blogs regularly about the use of computers in medicine, also has described how the Internet has altered his mental habits, “I now have almost totally lost the ability to read and absorb a longish article on the web or in print,” he wrote earlier this year. A pathologist who has long been on the faculty of the University of Michigan Medical School, Friedman elaborated on his comment in a telephone conversation with me. His thinking, he said, has taken on a “staccato” quality, reflecting the way he quickly scans short passages of text from many sources online. “I can’t read War and Peace anymore,” he admitted. “I’ve lost the ability to do that. Even a blog post of more than three or four paragraphs is too much to absorb. I skim it.”
The anecdotes alone don’t prove much. And we still await the long-term neurological and psychological experiments that will provide a definitive picture of how Internet use affects cognition. But a recently published study of online research habits, conducted by scholars from University College London, suggests that we may well be in the midst of a sea change in the way we read and think. As part of the five-year research program, the scholars examined computer logs documenting the behavior of visitors to two popular research sites, one operated by the British Library and one by a U.K. educational consortium, that provide access to journal articles, e-books, and other sources of written information. They found that people using the sites exhibited “a form of skimming activity,” hopping from one source to another and rarely returning to any source they’d already visited. They typically read no more than one or two pages of an article or book before they would “bounce” out to another site. Sometimes they’d save a long article, but there’s no evidence that they ever went back and actually read it.

There is an increasing number of people who skim and quickly jump between sources without deeply engaging with the content.

In-depth studies on the long-term effects of internet use on cognition will provide conclusive evidence on how it impacts only our thinking processes.

People tend to thoroughly scan through brief excerpts of text from various online sources.

Although individuals might bookmark or save lengthy articles, there is no evidence to suggest that they revisit and read them later.

People are experiencing a transformative change in the way they read and think due to their online research habits, skimming and quickly jumping between sources.

가장 적절한 요지는 “People are experiencing a transformative change in the way they read and think…”로 시작하는 진술이다.
Friedman의 사례와 University College London 연구를 통해 “we may well be in the midst of a sea change in the way we read and think”(읽고 생각하는 방식에 큰 변화가 일어나고 있다)라고 말한다. 그 변화의 내용이 훑어 읽기와 출처 사이를 건너뛰는 습관이다.
“There is an increasing number of people who skim…”: 훑어 읽기는 다루지만, 사람 수의 증가를 말하지 않고 사고방식의 변화라는 핵심도 빠져 있다.
“In-depth studies on the long-term effects…”: 장기 연구는 아직 기다리는 중이라는 부수 내용이고, “only our thinking processes”도 지문에 없다.
“People tend to thoroughly scan through brief excerpts…”: 지문은 “quickly scans”라고 하며, “thoroughly”(철저히)는 내용과 어긋난다.
“Although individuals might bookmark or save lengthy articles…”: 긴 글을 저장만 한다는 세부 사항일 뿐 전체 요지가 아니다.
