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.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student ①is invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props ②to explain the goal clearly. Students ③who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd. The event, ④held in the auditorium at two o'clock, will ending with light refreshments for everyone who attended. Prizes will be given for the most creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, ⑤chosen by a panel of teachers.

Setting a goal is only the first step; keeping track of progress is just as ①important. Many people write down goals at the beginning of the year but never check how far they have come. Without regular records, it becomes easy to ②lose motivation or forget the original purpose of a goal. Keeping a simple log lets a person see clear evidence of improvement over time. For instance, someone learning guitar might record which songs they practiced each week, and looking back later reveals growth that felt ③invisible day to day. Tracking progress also helps identify problems early, since a person can notice when effort stops producing results and ④ignore the plan before too much time is wasted. This habit helps a distant goal feel more ⑤achievable.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, calling it ① vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, ② forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a ③ tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to ④ channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who ⑤ forbade permission to use the wall.

Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always safer than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since _______________. Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack.

In our elective fashion design class, the first assignment was not to sketch a beautiful outfit but to design clothing for a specific, unusual situation, such as a rainy commute or a wheelchair user's daily routine. I initially found the assignment strange, since I had imagined fashion design as primarily about appearance rather than practical problem-solving. Researching my chosen situation, a delivery worker who bikes through the city in all weather, changed how I approached the project entirely: _______________. My final design looked far simpler than the elaborate sketches some classmates produced, yet our teacher praised it precisely because every choice solved a real problem the wearer would actually face. I finished the unit understanding that thoughtful design often begins with a person's needs, not with a striking image.

주어진 문장: This is often because their goals are too vague or unrealistic to follow. Many people make new year's resolutions, but few actually achieve them. ( ① ) One helpful method for solving this problem is called SMART goal setting. ( ② ) First, a goal should be specific, describing exactly what you want to do instead of using vague words. ( ③ ) Second, it should be measurable, so you can check your progress with clear numbers. ( ④ ) Third, it should be achievable, fitting your situation without being too difficult to reach. ( ⑤ ) Finally, it should be relevant to your life and time-bound with a clear deadline.

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.

What all three of these risks share is that they can be avoided with a few minutes of preparation, not with expensive gear. A weekend camping trip promises fresh air and a break from screens, but the same wilderness that makes camping appealing also removes many of the safety nets people rely on without noticing, such as nearby hospitals or cell phone signal. ( ① ) One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. ( ② ) Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent, rather than in a sealed container away from the sleeping area, can attract wildlife looking for food. ( ③ ) Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since a clear evening sky offers no guarantee against a sudden storm later that night. ( ④ ) None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill. ( ⑤ ) They simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

주어진 문장: There is also a third, equally important reason that explains why so many resolutions fail so quickly. Many people give up on their new year's resolutions within just a few days, and psychologists have found several simple reasons for this pattern. ( ① ) First, willpower is like a muscle that becomes tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. ( ② ) Second, many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals that are far too difficult to reach in a short time. ( ③ ) When a goal feels impossible, people quickly lose motivation and stop trying. ( ④ ) Third, most resolutions do not offer any immediate reward. ( ⑤ ) Because the brain prefers quick rewards over distant ones, people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results.
