Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers ① requiring to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit ② wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: young students often lack the judgment ③ to predict how far a car will travel before it can stop, and they may step off the curb ④ chasing a ball or a friend without checking either direction. For this reason, cities have begun ⑤ installing cameras that automatically fine drivers who ignore the posted limit near schools.

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.

Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. More than thirty companies ①are expected to set up booths to introduce different careers. Students can talk directly with workers ②who represent fields such as medicine, engineering, and design. Each booth will offer a short activity ③designed to let visitors experience a small part of the job. In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks ④about their career paths during the lunch break. Teachers strongly encourage all students ⑤attend, even those who already have a career in mind.

Online courses have become a popular way for students to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners study at their own ①pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. However, taking an online course requires strong self-discipline, since no teacher checks whether students are ②keeping up. Experts recommend setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments ③regularly instead of studying everything the night before a deadline. Choosing a course with clear reviews and a well-organized structure also matters, because poorly designed courses can ④save valuable time. With the right approach, online learning can give students a real ⑤head start in their future careers.

Many students take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test is ①designed to measure a person's interests, strengths, and personality traits. It does not simply tell students which job to choose; instead, it helps them ②understand themselves better. For example, a student who enjoys solving problems might discover a ③hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should be used only as a guide, not as a ④temporary answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point, rather than a fixed decision that ⑤limits their future choices.

Every spring, the art club at Sejong High School creates one large mural ①together instead of individual paintings. The process begins with a session where members suggest themes and vote on their favorite idea. Once a theme is chosen, the club divides into small teams, each responsible for one section of the wall. One team sketches the outline while another mixes colors to match the design. Communication becomes ②unnecessary at this stage, since each section must connect smoothly with the ones beside it. If one team paints too dark a shade, the whole picture can look ③unbalanced. Therefore, members ④regularly step back to compare their section with the rest of the mural. After several weekends, the teams combine their sections into a single image. The finished mural is displayed near the entrance, reminding everyone what ⑤cooperation can achieve.

Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels difficult. Researchers who studied this process found that ___________. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must rely on willpower. Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes easier, and by the end, the action feels natural and comfortable.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others create simple mobile apps as a hobby. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real challenges too, and mistakes can feel discouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that ___________. For this reason, schools are beginning to offer entrepreneurship clubs, giving students a safe space to test their business ideas.

Teaching children to be cautious around strangers used to rely mainly on a single blunt warning: never talk to people you do not know. (A) A more effective approach focuses on specific situations rather than people in general, teaching children to recognize behavior that feels wrong, such as an adult asking a child to keep a secret from parents. (B) Child safety experts now argue that this advice is too simple to be useful, since most children will inevitably need to interact with unfamiliar adults. (C) Role-playing these scenarios in advance helps children respond quickly under pressure, rather than freezing because the situation feels unfamiliar and confusing.
