Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign ①to help everyone begin the year with clear direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card ②given by the homeroom teacher. On this card, write one personal goal for the new year, along with two simple steps ③to achieve it. After completing your card, submit it to your homeroom teacher, and all goal cards ④will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library. Students who show clear progress toward their goals will ⑤receiving a small prize during the morning assembly.

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.

Financial markets occasionally experience episodes in which asset prices rise far beyond any level that careful analysis of underlying fundamentals could justify, a phenomenon commonly ①attributed to herd psychology. During such episodes, individual investors, observing that prices have already risen substantially, often conclude that continuing to buy is reasonable simply because so many others ②are doing the same, rather than because any independent evaluation supports the purchase. This dynamic can become self-perpetuating: rising prices attract new buyers, whose purchases push prices higher still, thereby ③attracting yet another wave of buyers convinced that the upward trend itself constitutes reliable evidence of underlying value. Historical episodes of speculative excess display a strikingly similar pattern, suggesting that the underlying psychological mechanism ④remain constant even as the specific assets involved change considerably across centuries. Eventually, however, some triggering event, however minor, prompts a portion of investors to reconsider their assumptions, and the resulting wave of selling can ⑤trigger a collapse every bit as rapid and self-reinforcing as the original ascent.

Psychologists who study daily behavior describe habits through a model ①called the cue-routine-reward loop. This theory explains that every habit begins with a cue, a signal that ②tell the brain to start an automatic behavior. The brain then performs a routine, ③which is the action itself, whether physical or mental. Finally, the brain receives a reward, a positive feeling that makes it want ④to repeat the same behavior. For example, a notification sound can act as a cue that leads a student to check a phone, and the relief from boredom becomes the reward. Similarly, opening a refrigerator out of habit rather than hunger shows how a routine can run without conscious thought. Because this loop operates automatically, breaking a bad habit requires changing the routine while keeping the same cue and reward. Understanding this structure helps people redesign daily patterns more effectively than ⑤relying on willpower alone.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. This guide offers simple tips for ①using a planner to manage your New Year goals. First, write one clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks ②instead of writing vague plans. Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them. In addition, leave a small space each day for a short note about how you felt. Reviewing this space every Sunday ③help you notice patterns in your habits. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent ④matters more than being perfect. These habits can turn your planner into a powerful tool ⑤for reaching your goals.

Only a decade ago, translation apps produced sentences so ①awkward that users often laughed at the results rather than trusting them. Today, many of these apps rely on neural networks that analyze entire sentences at once, capturing context instead of translating word by word. This shift has made everyday tasks such as reading a foreign menu or chatting with an overseas friend remarkably ②chaotic. Frequent travelers now point their phone cameras at street signs and receive an ③instant translation overlaid on the screen. Even so, the technology still struggles with humor, sarcasm, and cultural nuance, areas where a single wrong word can ④completely change the intended meaning. For this reason, professional translators argue that these apps are best treated as a helpful ⑤starting point rather than a final, polished result.

Hospitals are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence tools that can scan medical images and flag potential tumors ①faster and, in some trials, more accurately than experienced radiologists. Patients understandably welcome any technology that catches disease earlier, yet the growing reliance on these tools raises an uncomfortable legal question that hospitals have only begun to address. When an AI system misses a diagnosis that a human doctor would likely have caught, responsibility becomes ②easy to assign. The doctor may argue that they simply trusted a tool the hospital required them to use, the hospital may argue that the software company guaranteed its accuracy, and the software company may argue that no algorithm can be expected to be ③perfect. Until legal systems ④clarify this chain of responsibility, patients harmed by an algorithmic error may find themselves with no clear party to hold ⑤accountable.

Job experience programs let students try out real workplaces for a short time. (A) For example, some students spend a day at a hospital, a bakery, or a design studio. (B) In this way, students gain a clearer picture of what each job truly involves. (C) During the visit, they observe workers and sometimes try simple tasks themselves.

Artificial intelligence is creating job titles that did not exist a decade ago. (A) AI ethics officers, for instance, check whether a company's technology treats users fairly. (B) These new roles clearly require more than just technical skill. (C) Prompt engineers, for example, design instructions that help AI programs produce accurate results.

This year's fair is expected to be the largest one the school has ever held. Central High School will host its annual career fair next Thursday in the main gymnasium. ( ① ) More than thirty companies and organizations will set up booths to introduce different careers. ( ② ) Each booth will offer a short activity so visitors can experience a small part of the job. ( ③ ) For example, the engineering booth will let students build a simple model bridge. ( ④ ) In addition, three guest speakers will give short talks about their career paths during the lunch break. ( ⑤ ) Teachers strongly encourage all students to attend.
