A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone ①checks whether it is actually true. Studies show that false stories often travel faster than accurate ones, partly because surprising or emotional claims ②get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: ③checking a source before believing it. Simple habits can make a real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim, checking the date an article ④publishing, and searching to see whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. Media literacy classes now teach students ⑤to pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why.

The Hopeful Start Workshop will be held on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center. This event ①helps students set clear and realistic goals for the new year. Participants will learn simple methods for ②writing goals that are specific and easy to measure. Each participant will receive a goal-planning notebook ③to use throughout the year. The workshop is open to all middle and high school students, and no experience ④are required. Students can register online through the center's website or by ⑤calling the front desk before January 8th.

Many students who reach their goals share one habit: they ①picturing the goal clearly before they even start working. This process, called visualization, means imagining a goal in detail, often by ②drawing pictures or writing specific descriptions. For example, a student ③who dreams of studying abroad might make a board filled with photos of a foreign campus. Seeing these images every day keeps the goal fresh in mind and ④reminds the student why the effort matters. Visualization also helps people notice small opportunities that they might otherwise miss, since the brain naturally pays attention to things ⑤connected to personal goals.

For many students, the walk to school feels so ①routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap ②correctly. Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost ③invisible until a car is dangerously close. Simple choices, such as using a marked crosswalk, waiting for the pedestrian signal, and adding something reflective to a backpack, cost only a few extra seconds each morning. Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, repeated daily, do more to ④ignore injury than any single safety ⑤campaign ever could.

Science labs feel far safer than they actually are, largely because the equipment looks harmless and the experiments are carefully planned by a teacher. This false sense of security leads some students to skip small precautions, such as wearing safety goggles for a "simple" experiment. Chemical reactions, however, do not distinguish between a professional laboratory and a classroom; _______________. Teachers repeatedly emphasize reading each instruction before touching any material, since even a familiar-looking chemical can behave unpredictably when combined with something new.

My family decided to stay indoors for the entire day because of the extreme heat outside. (A) After lunch, we visited a small museum that had a special exhibition about ocean animals. (B) In the morning, we went to a nearby indoor climbing gym and learned some basic techniques. (C) In the afternoon, we finished the day by playing board games at a cozy cafe.

Pets need extra care and attention when the summer heat becomes intense. (A) It is also important to avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can burn its paws. (B) First, always provide plenty of fresh, cool water throughout the day. (C) Most importantly, never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

Safety signs surround us so constantly, from a yellow diamond warning of a curve ahead to a red octagon commanding a full stop, that most people stop consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. (A) Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. (B) This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already failed at its purpose. (C) Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals caution, and green marks safety.

Yuna and I decided to set our New Year goals together instead of separately, and our journey had several stages. (A) Thanks to her encouragement, I remembered why I had started, and we both kept going until we reached our goals by spring. (B) At first, we each wrote down our own goal and agreed to text each other every night about our progress. (C) After a couple of weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit, but Yuna noticed my short replies and called me.

주어진 문장: In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Many people throw away items that they no longer need. ① However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. ② This practice, often called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. ③ Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment. ④ Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet. ⑤
