Physical education class often feels like the one period of the day when students can finally move freely, which sometimes leads them ① to skip the warm-up routine that teachers insist on before any real activity begins. Cold muscles, however, are noticeably ② less flexible than warmed ones, and stretching a stiff hamstring or ankle too quickly can cause a strain that keeps a student off the field for weeks rather than minutes. Coaches often compare an unwarmed muscle to a cold rubber band that ③ snap rather than stretches under sudden pressure. Beyond warming up, wearing proper footwear matters more than most students realize; running in worn-out sneakers with little grip left on the sole significantly ④ raises the chance of a twisted ankle on a gym floor or an outdoor field. Reporting a minor pain immediately, rather than pushing through it to finish a game, also ⑤ prevents a small issue from becoming a repeated injury that lingers for an entire season.

Every semester, students groan when the fire alarm rings for another routine drill, filing out of the building as if the exercise were simply a break from class. This ① serious attitude, however, overlooks why the drill exists in the first place. During an actual fire, thick smoke can fill hallways within minutes, cutting ② visibility to almost nothing and making it dangerously easy to panic or take a wrong turn. Repeating the same evacuation route again and again trains the body to move automatically, even when the mind is too frightened to think clearly. Firefighters note that students who have practiced an escape route ③ calmly walk toward the nearest exit purely out of habit, while those unfamiliar with the building often ④ freeze or hesitate at doorways. A fire drill that feels pointless in the classroom can therefore become the very reason a real evacuation succeeds without ⑤ injury.

Child safety experts now argue that this advice is too ① complex to be useful, since most children will inevitably need to interact with unfamiliar adults, whether asking a store employee for help or greeting a new neighbor. A more effective approach focuses on ② specific situations rather than people in general, teaching children to recognize behavior that feels wrong. Role-playing these scenarios in advance helps children ③ respond quickly under pressure, rather than freezing because the situation feels unfamiliar and confusing. Experts also emphasize that children should be taught they will never get in trouble for refusing an adult's request or for ④ loudly saying no in public, since hesitation caused by politeness can cost ⑤ precious seconds in a genuine emergency.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: _______________. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. 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. In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, _______________. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen sharply in recent years, closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. _______________. A fall at that speed, onto pavement rather than grass, can cause a head injury just as severe as one from a bicycle or a small motorcycle.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment, since used batteries contain harmful chemicals that should never be thrown away with regular trash. (A) If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants, so our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. (B) We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe, and thank you for your cooperation and kindness. (C) Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can, since the box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use.

주어진 문장: This small effort makes the recycling process faster and more efficient for everyone. Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. ① First, sort your items into the labeled sections for paper, plastic, glass, and cans before dropping them off. ② Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. ③ Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection. ④ In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. ⑤ Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. 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, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. ( ① ) 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 let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )

None of this design effort matters, however, if a person has simply stopped paying attention altogether. 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. ( ① ) 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. ( ② ) Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals caution, and green marks safety, a system consistent enough that a traveler in an unfamiliar country can often guess a sign's meaning without reading a word. ( ③ ) 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. ( ④ ) Ignoring a familiar sign because it has become part of the background remains one of the most common causes of accidents in public spaces. ( ⑤ )
