When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks ① that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why so many falls happen on stretches that pedestrians ② would never suspect. Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them ③ causing not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway. Walking with shorter, flatter steps and keeping the hands free rather than in pockets can ④ help a person regain balance quickly if a foot suddenly slides. Choosing shoes with textured rubber soles rather than smooth ones also makes a difference, since even a small increase in grip can ⑤ prevent a fall before it begins.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

Building a career portfolio is a great way to track your growth throughout high school. Start by choosing a ①format, such as a folder, a notebook, or a digital file. Include items like club activities, volunteer work, certificates, and sample projects that show your interests and skills. For each item, write a short reflection explaining what you learned and why it ②mattered to you. Update your portfolio regularly instead of waiting until graduation, since memories of small experiences ③strengthen quickly. Ask a teacher or mentor to review it occasionally and offer ④feedback. A well-organized portfolio helps you understand your own ⑤growth over time.

Last month, I attended a three-day career camp during summer vacation. On the first day, I chose the broadcasting workshop, where students practiced writing short news scripts and reading them in front of a camera. It was harder than I expected, since staying calm while a camera recorded my every move felt strange at first. By the second day, however, I began to enjoy the challenge, and my confidence grew with each attempt. The instructors, who all had real broadcasting experience, gave ___________ rather than simple praise, which helped us improve quickly.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. However, experts suggest that _______________. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. However, _______________. A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs.

During the rainy season, umbrellas and raincoats become essential items for daily life. However, many people forget to take care of them properly, which ___________. After using a wet umbrella, let it dry fully before folding it again, since storing a damp umbrella in a closed bag can cause mold and a bad smell.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. (A) One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized her small daily habit was part of a larger problem. (B) She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. (C) That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

This simple comparison shows why learning the meaning of each symbol truly matters. Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. ① Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. ② For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. ③ Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. ④ Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. ⑤ Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

주어진 문장: This process, however, does not happen all at once, but unfolds gradually in stages. Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. ( ① ) However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels difficult. ( ② ) Researchers who studied this process found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. ( ③ ) During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must rely on willpower. ( ④ ) Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes easier because your brain starts to expect it at a certain time each day. ( ⑤ ) By the end, you no longer need to force yourself, since the action feels natural and comfortable.
