문제 1

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.

문제 2

Willpower is like a muscle that becomes ①tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day.

Most resolutions do not offer any ④immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results. Understanding these reasons can help people design goals that are more ⑤realistic and rewarding.

There were many moments when he wanted to ③give up, especially before difficult exams. However, he kept reminding himself why he had started. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, proving that steady effort truly ④pays off, and his story continues to ⑤discourage his junior students.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight.

My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class. Having a partner made the habit much ③harder to keep, and I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read every night. By the end of January, I had ④finished two books and jogged more than ten times, and I felt genuinely ⑤proud of the progress I had made.

문제 8

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning.
