Willpower is like a muscle that ①become tired after being used too much, so people often run out of self-control by the end of a busy day. Many resolutions are unrealistic from the beginning, since people set goals ②that are far too difficult to reach in a short time, and when a goal feels impossible, people quickly lose motivation and ③stop trying. Most resolutions, such as ④losing weight or saving money, do not offer any immediate reward, so people find it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results. Understanding these reasons can help people ⑤design goals that are more realistic and rewarding.

As governments and companies work to address climate change, a new category of employment known as green jobs has ①expanded rapidly. Unlike many traditional industrial jobs, green jobs often require workers to combine technical training with an understanding of environmental science. Countries that have invested heavily in renewable energy have seen employment in this sector grow far ②faster than in the economy overall. Young workers, in particular, are drawn to green careers because they offer a sense of purpose alongside financial ③stability. Critics point out that transitioning workers from fossil fuel industries to green jobs can be surprisingly ④easy, since the required skills can differ significantly. Governments are therefore introducing training programs designed to help such workers shift ⑤smoothly into renewable energy careers.

Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that gives every club a chance to ①shine. This year's festival will take place on October 15th, running from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. Clubs that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is ②limited. The science club will present simple experiments that are both ③dangerous and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have ④created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly ⑤encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. (A) We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. (B) Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. (C) Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

Static stretching, in which a muscle is held at its longest length for an extended period, can actually reduce the muscle's ability to generate explosive force immediately afterward. For decades, athletes were taught to stretch a muscle and hold the position before any competition, believing that this practice alone would prevent injury. ( ① ) Recent research, however, has complicated that assumption considerably. ( ② ) This is especially troubling for sprinters or jumpers who need maximum power right away. ( ③ ) Dynamic stretching, which involves controlled, repeated movement through a joint's full range of motion, appears to prepare muscles for activity without this temporary weakening effect. ( ④ ) As a result, many coaches now recommend saving static stretching for after a workout, while reserving dynamic movements for the warm-up period before intense effort begins. ( ⑤ )

This finding is particularly striking given that the two groups of employees faced no difference whatsoever in the financial terms of the plan itself. Employers have long experimented with how retirement savings plans are presented to new hires. ( ① ) In one common arrangement, employees receive a form and must actively check a box to begin contributing a portion of their salary to a savings account. ( ② ) Under this opt-in arrangement, a substantial share of eligible employees never get around to enrolling, often citing simple procrastination rather than genuine disinterest in saving. ( ③ ) When employers instead enroll employees automatically and require them to check a box only if they wish to withdraw, participation rates climb to well over ninety percent. ( ④ ) Only the framing of the choice, not its economic substance, appears to determine whether employees end up saving for retirement. ( ⑤ ) This gap between the two arrangements reveals just how powerfully a default setting can shape decisions that people generally regard as carefully considered.

주어진 문장: It was the first time she had truly felt like part of a team. Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. ( ① ) The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. ( ② ) During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. ( ③ ) Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time. ( ④ ) Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. ( ⑤ ) The audience clapped warmly, and she realized her club's support had made the difference.

주어진 문장: Without such improvements, even the most generous rewards program cannot compensate for a disappointing product. Building brand loyalty has traditionally been considered one of the most valuable goals in marketing, since loyal customers tend to spend more and recommend products to others. ( ① ) Companies invest significant resources in loyalty programs, offering points, discounts, and exclusive access to encourage repeat purchases. ( ② ) However, some critics argue that these programs manipulate consumers into staying with a brand out of habit rather than genuine satisfaction. ( ③ ) Genuine loyalty, they contend, should be earned through consistent quality and honest treatment of customers. ( ④ ) Furthermore, excessive focus on retaining existing customers can cause companies to neglect innovation, since they assume loyal buyers will continue purchasing regardless of improvements. ( ⑤ ) As markets become more competitive, relying solely on loyalty programs without addressing underlying product quality may ultimately backfire.
