Child safety experts now argue that this advice is too simple ①to 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 specific situations rather than people in general, ②teaching children to recognize behavior that feels wrong, such as an adult asking a child to keep a secret from parents. Role-playing these scenarios in advance ③helps children 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 ④refusing an adult's request or for loudly saying no in public, since hesitation ⑤causing by politeness can cost precious seconds in a genuine emergency.

A biosensor works by pairing a biological component, such as an enzyme or antibody, with an electronic device that converts a biological reaction into a signal a computer can ①read. When the target molecule, whether glucose in blood or a trace of a pathogen, binds to the biological component, it triggers a ②massive measurable change that the device translates into a readable number. This design has already transformed diabetes management, letting patients monitor blood sugar ③continuously through a small sensor worn under the skin rather than pricking a finger several times a day. Engineers are now racing to extend the same principle to detect subtler targets, from cancer cells circulating in the bloodstream to trace ④contaminants in drinking water. The central challenge is not detecting the target but doing so reliably outside a controlled laboratory, since a sensor that performs well on a clean lab bench can behave ⑤erratically once exposed to a real body or a real river.

Until last spring, Minji ①rarely thought twice about tossing a paper cup into the trash after finishing her coffee. Environmental issues seemed ②distant, something scientists and politicians should handle rather than an ordinary student like her. That changed when her class was assigned a documentary about plastic waste drifting through the ocean, footage she initially expected to find boring. Instead, watching seabirds mistake plastic fragments for food left her strangely ③comforted, and she found herself thinking about the assignment long after class ended. The next morning, almost without deciding to, she slipped her old tumbler into her backpack instead of buying a disposable cup on the way to school. It felt like a small, ④meaningless gesture at first. However, as weeks passed, she realized that consistently choosing the tumbler, declining a plastic straw, and reusing a shopping bag were quietly ⑤adding up. Small choices, she discovered, become meaningful once repeated.

On the first day of our improv theater workshop, the instructor gave us a rule that seemed impossible to follow: never say no to whatever another performer suggests. If a scene partner claimed the empty classroom was actually a submarine, our job was to accept that fact instantly and ①build on it, rather than correcting or rejecting the idea. I found this ②terrifying at first, since improv offers no script to hide behind and no time to plan a clever line in advance. Over several weeks, though, I noticed that the students who worried most about saying something wrong were usually the ones who ③froze on stage, while those who simply accepted whatever happened and reacted honestly created the funniest, most memorable scenes. The instructor explained that improv is not really about being naturally quick-witted, but about ④trusting a partner's idea enough to build on it rather than protecting your own. That single lesson, oddly, changed how ⑤carelessly I listened even in ordinary conversations.

For many years, comic books and graphic novels were seen as a lazy alternative to real reading. Parents and teachers often worried that pictures did the work that words should do, leaving young readers with weaker vocabulary and imagination. Recent research, however, tells a more complicated story. _______________. This combination can build a different but equally valuable set of reading skills. Teachers who once banned comics from their classrooms are now using them to reach students who struggled with traditional novels. Rather than replacing traditional reading, graphic novels appear to work best as a bridge that leads students toward it.

Smart speakers have quietly become a fixture in many households, responding to spoken requests for weather updates, music, or kitchen timers. Because these assistants improve by learning from millions of interactions, they gradually become better at recognizing regional accents and casual phrasing that once confused them. Still, _______________. Engineers continue to refine these systems, but many admit that truly natural conversation remains one of the hardest goals in the entire field of artificial intelligence.

When people look back on a multi-day journey, they rarely recall every hour with equal clarity; instead, memory tends to compress the entire experience into just a few representative moments. Psychologists have found that two points carry disproportionate weight in this process: the single moment when emotion reached its highest intensity, and whatever happened right before the experience concluded. Consider two hikers who complete an identical five-day trek. The first finishes with a grueling, rain-soaked final climb, while the second enjoys a calm, scenic descent on the last afternoon despite having endured an equally difficult ascent earlier in the trip. Even though both hikers faced comparable hardship overall, the second is far more likely to remember the journey fondly, simply because the trip ended pleasantly. This pattern reveals that _______________.

When people encounter an individual who appears to memorize enormous quantities of specialized information effortlessly, they often assume that person possesses an innate gift. Cognitive psychologists, however, contend that such feats rarely stem from raw talent alone. (A) This pattern reveals that expert memory is not larger in raw capacity but is instead organized around patterns accumulated through years of deliberate practice. If chunking, rather than innate aptitude, underlies expert performance, then educators should stop treating talent as fixed and destiny-bound. Curricula ought to be redesigned to cultivate pattern recognition explicitly, since doing so would grant far more students access to expertise once presumed reserved for the naturally gifted. (B) A landmark study of chess players demonstrated this principle. When shown a board arranged according to plausible game positions, grandmasters reproduced the layout perfectly. Yet when the same pieces were scattered randomly, their performance collapsed to the level of novices. (C) Instead, such feats arise from a learned skill known as chunking, whereby scattered pieces of information are consolidated into larger, meaningful units.

The reason, they explain, is simple: a first reading leaves little room for anything beyond the plot. Many readers assume that once they finish a book, there is no reason to open it again. ( ① ) Yet teachers who study reading often disagree, arguing that a second reading can reveal details a first reading misses completely. ( ② ) During a first reading, most of a student's attention goes toward simply following the plot, wondering what will happen next. ( ③ ) Once the ending is already known, a second reading frees the mind to notice smaller things, such as a clever hint the author placed early in the story or a change in a character's tone. ( ④ ) Some students who reread their favorite novel report that it feels almost like reading a different book, because they now understand the characters' motives more deeply. ( ⑤ ) Teachers therefore encourage students not to rush toward new titles alone, but to occasionally return to a book they already loved, since a second visit often teaches more than the first.

주어진 문장: Each of these exchanges is deliberately planned so that a byproduct considered worthless by one company becomes a valuable resource for its neighbor. Conventional industrial zones typically operate as isolated facilities, each purchasing raw materials independently and disposing of waste without regard for neighboring plants, even when one factory's discarded byproduct could serve as valuable input for another. ① An eco-industrial park reorganizes this arrangement by clustering diverse companies within a single area and encouraging them to exchange materials, energy, and water through a practice known as industrial symbiosis. ② A power plant's surplus heat, for example, might be piped to a nearby greenhouse, while a food processing facility's organic waste could be converted into biogas that powers another factory's equipment. ③ Such exchanges require companies to coordinate schedules and share information they might otherwise regard as proprietary, a level of cooperation rarely achieved without deliberate institutional support. ④ Local governments therefore often play a coordinating role, mapping which industries could exchange resources and providing incentives for companies willing to participate. ⑤ Consequently, eco-industrial parks have come to be seen as a model capable of reducing both waste disposal costs and raw material expenses simultaneously. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤
