Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, ①what contain harmful chemicals, should never be ②thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, ③which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone ④to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries ⑤that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

As technology ①developing rapidly, many new jobs are appearing that did not exist a decade ago. Data analysts, for example, help companies make decisions ②based on huge amounts of information. Renewable energy technicians, ③who install and repair solar panels and wind turbines, are meeting the growing demand for clean power. Healthcare is expanding beyond hospitals, creating roles for specialists ④designing digital health tools for elderly patients. Experts predict that future workers will need ⑤to keep learning new skills throughout their careers.

Limited-edition products are goods that ①are released in small quantities for a short period of time.

However, this psychological pressure can lead to purchases that ④are driven by fear rather than genuine need. Marketers, aware of this pattern, ⑤continues to design new limited releases because urgency reliably drives sales.

Soojin started posting short cooking videos on her phone during her last year of high school, never imagining it could become a career. At first, only a handful of friends watched her clips, and she nearly ①quit after several months without noticeable growth. She kept experimenting, however, adjusting her editing style and posting more ②consistently despite the discouraging numbers. Everything changed when one video demonstrating a simple recipe unexpectedly reached millions of viewers overnight. Within a year, Soojin was earning ③more from her online content than most entry-level jobs would have paid her. Still, she quickly learned that being a creator demanded ④minimal work, since algorithms rewarded frequent uploads and audiences expected fresh content daily. Looking back, Soojin realizes that persistence, rather than luck alone, transformed her hobby into a ⑤demanding profession.

Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day, and for the first three days, he followed his plan perfectly. However, on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted, and his resolution soon disappeared completely.

Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them, and review your notes every Sunday. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent matters more than being perfect.

Sensors buried in the soil now report moisture levels in real time, and automated systems adjust irrigation without a farmer ever walking the rows. (A) Smaller family farms, however, often cannot afford the upfront cost of this equipment, and some worry that the gap between high-tech and traditional operations will only widen. (B) For large operations with the capital to invest, these tools have measurably increased yields while reducing water waste. (C) There is also a quieter cultural cost: generations of farming knowledge risk being replaced by dashboards and automated alerts that few young farmers are taught to question.

주어진 문장: Slowly, though, she began to question whether all of these possessions truly made her life better.

Critics note a further irony: when something goes wrong, such as a hacked exchange or a lost password, there is often no institution left to appeal to. Blockchain technology was originally promoted as a way to remove the need for trusted middlemen, allowing strangers to exchange value directly and verify transactions through a shared, tamper-resistant ledger. ( ① ) In theory, this design distributes power away from any single institution and toward the network as a whole. ( ② ) In practice, however, a small number of large players have come to dominate many blockchain networks. ( ③ ) They control enough computing power or currency to influence outcomes that were supposed to be decided collectively. ( ④ ) Whether decentralization can survive this concentration of power remains one of the technology's most unresolved questions. ( ⑤ )

( ① ) However, the way a person thinks about failure can change what happens next. ( ② ) Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, so they stop trying.

( ④ ) Over time, people who view failure as a lesson rather than a final judgment tend to keep working toward their goals, even after several setbacks. ( ⑤ )
