문제 1

Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. However, clean water is actually a limited resource ①that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap ②running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. ③Taking a shorter shower are another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, ④which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. Everyone ⑤who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

문제 2

This workbook is designed ①to help you set meaningful goals for the new year. First, turn to page one and write down one goal ②that you truly want to achieve this year. Next, complete the reason section by ③explain why this goal matters to you. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps, ④using the space provided for each month. If you fall behind schedule, do not simply give up; instead, revise your steps in pencil and ⑤keep moving forward.

문제 3

Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. More than thirty companies ①are expected to set up booths to introduce different careers. Students can talk directly with workers ②who represent fields such as medicine, engineering, and design. Each booth will offer a short activity ③designed to let visitors experience a small part of the job. In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks ④about their career paths during the lunch break. Teachers strongly encourage all students ⑤attend, even those who already have a career in mind.

문제 4

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks ①dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly ②deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly ③strengthens even a strong swimmer. Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically ④lower the risk of a minor mistake turning into a fatal ⑤one.

문제 5

Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels ①easy. Researchers found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something ②new, so you must rely on willpower. Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes ③easier because your brain starts to expect it at a certain time each day. By the end, you no longer need to force yourself, since the action feels ④natural and comfortable. This is why experts suggest repeating a small action every day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance ⑤right away.

문제 6

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just ①finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience ②completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and ③frequently questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. What began as a simple reading habit has slowly grown into one of the most meaningful ④friendships of their week, according to ⑤many members.

문제 7

Speed-reading courses promise a ①complicated result: read several times faster while understanding just as much as before. The techniques usually involve moving your eyes quickly down the page, skipping small words, and avoiding the habit of ②silently pronouncing each word in your head. Some students do learn to move their eyes faster after a short course. However, researchers who study reading have found a ③serious problem with these claims. Understanding a text is not just about how quickly your eyes move across it; it depends on how deeply your brain processes each sentence and connects new ideas to what you already know. When readers rush through a page at extreme speed, their comprehension usually ④drops sharply, even though they feel confident that they understood everything. In careful studies, speed-reading graduates often score no better on comprehension tests than ⑤ordinary readers who read at a normal pace.

문제 8

문제 9

I thought for a moment before answering that designing posters for school events always felt exciting. Yesterday, I visited my school's career counselor because I felt confused about my future. ( ① ) I told her that I enjoyed both science and art, but I could not decide which subject to pursue. ( ② ) She listened carefully and then asked me a simple question: what activities make me lose track of time? ( ③ ) She smiled and said that this kind of clue often reveals a genuine interest, more than any test score can. ( ④ ) She suggested that I try combining my two interests by exploring careers such as scientific illustration or product design. ( ⑤ ) Our short conversation gave me a clearer sense of direction than weeks of worrying alone had.

문제 10

This is because thirst is often a sign that your body is already dehydrated. Drinking enough water is especially important during the hot summer months, and experts recommend drinking regularly rather than waiting until you feel thirsty. ( ① ) When you sweat a lot, your body loses not only water but also important minerals called electrolytes. ( ② ) If you do not replace these losses, you may feel tired, dizzy, or even suffer from muscle cramps. ( ③ ) It is best to avoid sugary drinks and too much caffeine, since they can make dehydration worse. ( ④ ) Instead, choose plain water or drinks that contain electrolytes, especially after exercise. ( ⑤ ) Eating water-rich fruits and vegetables can also help you stay hydrated.
