Every January, our school invites a graduate ①to share advice, and last week a former student named Minho visited our class. Three years ago, he was a shy sophomore ②who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. Instead of ③studying everything at once, he focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. He also found a study partner ④shared the same goal, and they checked each other's progress every week. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, ⑤proving that steady effort truly pays off.

Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming pools, rivers, and beaches with family and friends. However, water activities can be completely ①safe without proper preparation. First, always swim in areas that are ②supervised by a lifeguard, and never swim alone even if you are a strong swimmer. Second, check the weather and water conditions before entering the water, since strong currents can make swimming extremely ③dangerous. Third, wear a life jacket in open water, especially if you are a beginner. Taking a break every hour will help you stay ④energetic, and learning basic rescue skills will make you more ⑤prepared for emergencies.

Child safety experts now argue that this advice is too ①complex to be useful, since most children will inevitably need to interact with unfamiliar adults, whether asking a store employee for help or greeting a new neighbor. A more effective approach focuses on ②specific situations rather than people in general, teaching children to recognize behavior that feels wrong. Role-playing these scenarios in advance helps children ③respond quickly under pressure, rather than freezing because the situation feels unfamiliar and confusing. Experts also emphasize that children should be taught they will never get in trouble for refusing an adult's request or for ④loudly saying no in public, since hesitation caused by politeness can cost ⑤precious seconds in a genuine emergency.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much had changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, which was still more than the year before. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and saving money was harder than I expected since unexpected expenses kept appearing. Still, I saved enough for half of the bicycle. Looking back, I realized that ___________, and I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and learned something new about myself along the way.

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. (A) As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. (B) His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. (C) After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means supporting each other even after something goes wrong. His class did not win first place, but they celebrated together as if they had.

Earthquakes strike without any warning, which is exactly why the seconds immediately after the shaking begins matter more than any other moment in an emergency. (A) Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack. (B) Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. (C) Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always safer than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since falling debris often causes more injuries near exits and windows.

주어진 문장: This process, however, does not happen all at once, but unfolds gradually in stages.

( ② ) Researchers who studied this process found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic.
