Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, ①assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they ②let their guard down. In a collision, a body ③traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it. A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of ④concentrating it on the head and neck. Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those ⑤sat in the front.

The science club at Hanul High School is running a project ①called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. Each week, members place identical bean sprouts under red, blue, and white light and ②record their height. At first, many students expected the white light ③to produce the tallest plants. However, the results showed that plants under red light grew noticeably ④fast than the others. The club's advisor explained this by comparing light to food. Just as people need certain nutrients to grow strong, plants absorb certain colors of light more efficiently than others. To make the data reliable, students repeat each trial three times and calculate the average. They also keep a shared notebook, ⑤recording sunlight, watering time, and temperature.

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.

A goal should be specific, meaning you describe exactly what you want to do instead of using ①vague words. It should also be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers such as pages read or minutes exercised. Being achievable means the goal ②fits your current situation and is not too difficult to reach. A relevant goal truly ③matters to your life and interests, and a time-bound goal has a clear deadline that pushes you to take action instead of waiting. Setting goals this way turns vague wishes into ④unclear plans, which are much ⑤easier to follow through every single day.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt ①nervous. During practice, her hands ②shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more ③hesitant, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded ④smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped ⑤warmly, and she realized her club's support had made the difference.

Keeping a new year's resolution is not always easy, but small changes can make a big difference. (A) In addition, I moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. (B) At first, I followed my plan perfectly, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired. (C) Then my friend Mina offered to exercise with me, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep.

Minho's path to reaching his goal was not always smooth, but he found a few strategies that kept him moving forward. (A) First, he wrote his goal in his notebook and read it every morning to keep it fresh in his mind. (B) He then broke his big goal into smaller monthly tasks, focusing on one weak subject at a time. (C) Finally, he partnered with a friend who shared the same goal, and they checked on each other's progress every week.

Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. (A) Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results will be posted on the club bulletin board. (C) First, download the budget request form from the school website and fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed.

This built-in urgency, in other words, is precisely what the system is designed to preserve, not an inconvenience to be silenced away. A loud, jarring alert sound interrupting a phone's normal notifications usually means one thing: a government agency has issued an emergency text to everyone in a specific area, warning of anything from a flash flood to a missing child. ( ① ) These messages are designed to reach people instantly, without requiring anyone to download an app or subscribe to a service in advance, since a disaster rarely waits for someone to prepare. ( ② ) Some residents complain that the alerts arrive too frequently or for events that feel minor, leading a small number of people to silence the notifications altogether. ( ③ ) Safety officials warn that this response defeats the entire purpose of the system, since a person who mutes every alert for convenience will also miss the one message that truly demands immediate action. ( ④ ) Unlike a weather app that must be checked voluntarily, an emergency alert pushes urgent information directly to a person's pocket, cutting through distraction in a way that no other communication method can consistently match. ( ⑤ )

주어진 문장: These various booths give every member a chance to show what they have practiced throughout the year. Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to shine. ① This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. ② Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. ③ The science club will present simple experiments that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. ④ The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. ⑤ Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.
