Imagine two travelers ①preparing for the same trip: one refuses to fly after watching news coverage of a recent plane crash, while the other books a flight without hesitation. Statistically, air travel remains far safer than ②driving the same distance by car, yet vivid, emotionally charged images tend to dominate human judgment more powerfully than dry statistics ever could. This tendency, in which people ③estimate how likely an event is based on how easily examples come to mind rather than on actual data, quietly shapes countless everyday decisions. News broadcasts that repeatedly feature rare disasters can leave viewers ④convinced that such events are common, even though official records clearly show the opposite. Advertisers and politicians alike exploit this pattern, knowing that a single striking anecdote often ⑤persuade audiences more effectively than pages of careful statistics ever manage to.

Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now open. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and ①fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan ②explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, ③which meets every Friday. Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results ④will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you ⑤has any questions.

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 ①save 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 ②decreases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires ③little effort, protects both your ④wallet and the environment. Small choices like this can make a ⑤big difference for our planet.

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.

Our school will hold a special event to help students start the new year with clear goals. (A) On Friday, January 30th, every student is invited to share one personal goal in the main auditorium in front of classmates and teachers. (B) Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. (C) Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd.

주어진 문장: Yet not everyone finds this reassurance convincing. Few ideas in policy debate provoke as much philosophical unease as the notion that a government might deliberately steer citizens toward better choices while leaving every option technically available. ( ① ) Defenders insist that freedom is preserved as long as no option is banned and no penalty is attached, arguing that a citizen who is merely steered, rather than coerced, remains free to choose otherwise. ( ② ) Critics counter that this defense rests on an impoverished notion of liberty, one that ignores how engineered defaults and calculated framing can shape decisions just as powerfully as an outright prohibition would. ( ③ ) If a policy is designed because officials expect it to bypass conscious deliberation, these critics ask, can the resulting choice still be called autonomous, even though no law was broken? ( ④ ) The dispute ultimately turns on what freedom actually requires: the mere absence of coercion, or a decision-making process that remains transparent and undistorted. ( ⑤ ) Until this question is settled, every new intervention promising to help citizens choose better will continue to invite suspicion of quiet manipulation.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

주어진 문장: In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. ① However, clean water is actually a limited resource that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. ② Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. ③ Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. ④ Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. ⑤ Everyone who cares about the environment should start saving water today.

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.

주어진 문장: He paused for a moment, feeling unsure about what the right choice really was. One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. ① At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. ② However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. ③ For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. ④ Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. ⑤ Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others.
