Electric scooters have become a common sight on city sidewalks, ①offering a quick way to cover short distances, yet most riders climb on without ever putting on a helmet. Part of the problem is that renting a scooter takes only a few taps on a phone screen, while finding and carrying a helmet ②requires planning that many riders simply skip. Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen sharply in recent years, ③closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. Unlike a bicycle, which typically requires balance skills built up over years of practice, an electric scooter can reach a surprising speed within seconds, often faster than new riders ④expecting from something that looks simple to operate. Cities that have begun requiring helmets for scooter rentals ⑤report a measurable drop in serious injuries.

A weekend camping trip promises fresh air and a break from screens, but the same wilderness that ①make camping appealing also removes many of the safety nets people rely on without noticing, such as nearby hospitals or cell phone signal. One of the most overlooked risks is ②setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent, rather than in a sealed container away from the sleeping area, can ③attract wildlife looking for food. Experienced campers also stress the importance of ④checking a weather forecast before leaving. None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill; they simply require campers ⑤to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

Many teachers and parents worry that today's teenagers are ①gaining the ability to read long, complex texts. National test scores show a slow ②decline in reading comprehension over the past ten years, and some experts blame smartphones and short videos for shortening students' attention spans. Other researchers disagree with this simple explanation. They point out that teenagers today read constantly, just in different forms, such as text messages, captions, and online articles. According to this view, the real problem is not that students read less overall, but that they rarely practice reading long passages without any ③interruption. A team of researchers recently found that students who read at least one full book every month scored ④noticeably higher on comprehension tests than students who mainly read short online posts. This result suggests that the format of reading, rather than simple screen time, may be the more important factor behind the ⑤changing scores.

Summer heat can be just as ①harmless for pets as it is for people. Dogs and cats cannot cool their bodies as easily as humans, so owners must take extra care during hot days. Always provide plenty of fresh water, and change it several times a day to keep it ②cool. Avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can ③burn sensitive paws. Never leave a pet alone in a parked car, since the temperature inside can rise ④dangerously fast. Make sure your pet has access to a ⑤shaded area at all times.

When I finally got the chance to interview a professional webtoon artist for our school newspaper, I expected her to describe drawing as the hardest part of her job. Instead, she told me that writing the story comes first, often taking longer than the artwork itself. She sketches rough thumbnails for an entire chapter before touching a single detailed panel, testing whether the pacing keeps readers scrolling instead of losing interest halfway through. She also reads every comment section carefully, not to copy what fans suggest, but to understand which moments made readers feel something real. What surprised me most was learning that _______________. Her honesty made me realize that the smooth, effortless feeling of a good webtoon is actually the product of countless invisible decisions.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. (A) My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. (B) My hands were shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. (C) Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

Accidents rarely wait for a doctor to be nearby, which is why basic first aid knowledge can make a critical difference in the first few minutes after an injury occurs. (A) Many students assume that only professionals should touch an injured person, fearing that any mistake might make things worse. (B) In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from becoming a life-threatening one. (C) Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, is often the more dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen.

주어진 문장: There is also a third, equally important reason that explains why so many resolutions fail so quickly. Many people give up on their new year's resolutions within just a few days, and psychologists have found several simple reasons for this pattern. ( ① ) First, willpower is like a muscle that becomes tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. ( ② ) Second, many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals that are far too difficult to reach in a short time. ( ③ ) When a goal feels impossible, people quickly lose motivation and stop trying. ( ④ ) Third, most resolutions do not offer any immediate reward. ( ⑤ ) Because the brain prefers quick rewards over distant ones, people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results.

주어진 문장: We appreciate your effort in advance and look forward to celebrating a truly green festival together. Attention, students! Our school festival is going green this year, and we truly need your help. ① This event aims to reduce the disposable waste that usually piles up during the celebration. ② First, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils to every food booth you visit. Second, each booth should use reusable decorations rather than paper banners that get thrown away within hours. ③ Students who join as Green Helpers will manage the recycling stations, sorting cans, bottles, and paper carefully all day long. Therefore, everyone's small cooperation will directly lower the amount of trash sent to the landfill. ④ However, single-use plastic bags are strictly prohibited at every booth this year. If your booth needs supplies, please contact the student council office before Friday. Let us work together to create a festival that is both fun and eco-friendly. ⑤
