Ambitious young athletes and the parents who support them sometimes ①assumes that more training automatically produces better results, a belief that occasionally leads to a condition known as overtraining syndrome. Unlike ordinary fatigue that resolves after a few days of rest, overtraining syndrome develops gradually over weeks or months of insufficient recovery relative to training load, eventually ②producing persistent exhaustion, declining performance despite continued hard work, and increased susceptibility to illness and injury. Adolescents may be especially vulnerable, since their bodies are simultaneously ③coping with the physical demands of growth and the added stress of intensive training schedules. Warning signs are often subtle at first, including disrupted sleep, irritability, and a loss of enthusiasm for a sport the athlete once genuinely enjoyed, which adults often ④mistake for ordinary moodiness. Recovery from full-blown overtraining syndrome can take months rather than days, which is why sports medicine specialists now emphasize ⑤monitoring early warning signs and scheduling rest before symptoms worsen.

Psychologists have long studied a mechanism called the variable reward schedule, in which rewards ①arrive unpredictably rather than after every single action. Slot machines famously exploit this principle, and social media notifications operate on strikingly similar logic. When someone posts a photo, they cannot predict exactly when likes will appear, nor ②how many they will eventually receive. This uncertainty triggers a small burst of dopamine each time the phone ③is checked, regardless of whether the result is disappointing or thrilling. Consequently, users often refresh their feeds compulsively, ④hoping the next check will finally bring a satisfying reward. What makes this troubling is that technology companies deliberately designed notification systems using insights borrowed from gambling research, rather than ⑤stumble upon them by accident.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was ①chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. My hands were ②shaking as the red light on the camera turned on. Halfway through my sentence, I suddenly forgot the next line completely. For a few seconds, only silence filled the studio, and I could hear my own heartbeat. My partner Minho, ③who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I ④had stopped. Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I ⑤finishing the report smoothly. After the broadcast ended, several classmates told me they had not even noticed the pause. That morning taught me that small mistakes rarely matter as much as we fear.

In recent years, mental health experts have identified a distinct emotional response to environmental crisis, commonly called eco-anxiety. Eco-anxiety describes persistent worry, grief, or fear triggered by awareness of climate change and its consequences for the future. Although people of all ages can experience it, teenagers and young adults seem especially ①immune, since they anticipate living through decades of worsening conditions. Common symptoms include difficulty sleeping, a sense of ②hopelessness, and guilt over ordinary choices such as travel or diet. For example, some students report feeling ③paralyzed whenever they read alarming climate news, unable to focus on schoolwork or hobbies. However, experts emphasize that eco-anxiety is not a disorder to be eliminated but a ④natural reaction that can be channeled productively. Rather than avoiding the topic, young people are encouraged to join community projects, since taking constructive action tends to ⑤restore a sense of control and ease overwhelming distress.

A small riverside village had ①endured severe flooding almost every summer, watching helplessly as rising water damaged homes and destroyed crops year after year. Frustrated residents eventually decided to pursue climate adaptation, adjusting their infrastructure and habits to reduce the damage caused by increasingly unpredictable weather. Engineers widened the drainage canals surrounding the village, allowing excess rainwater to flow away more efficiently instead of pooling in low-lying streets. Meanwhile, several families whose houses stood in the most ②vulnerable areas relocated to higher ground, even though leaving their long-time homes was emotionally difficult. The village also installed an early warning system that sent alerts to residents' phones whenever river levels rose dangerously fast. When a powerful storm struck three years later, the new measures proved ③useless, and the village suffered only minor damage instead of the ④devastating losses it had previously faced. Their ⑤resilience became a model for neighboring communities.

When people discuss climate change, they often focus only on rising temperatures or melting ice, treating it as a purely scientific issue. However, the concept of climate justice reminds us that the causes and consequences of climate change are distributed ①evenly across the globe. Wealthy, industrialized nations have historically released the ②largest share of greenhouse gases while building their economies, yet developing nations, which contributed comparatively little, frequently suffer the most ③severe droughts and floods. This gap between responsibility and suffering raises a serious ④ethical question that science alone cannot answer. For example, a farming community in a low-income country may lose its entire harvest to an unusual flood, even though its members have never owned a car or flown on a plane. Therefore, tackling climate change requires more than new technology; it demands ⑤fair policies supporting the very communities least responsible for causing the crisis.

주어진 문장: This reason feels comfortable at first, especially in a new school. Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. ① However, experts suggest that personal interest should always come before friendship. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. ② It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. ③ Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. ④ During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. ⑤ In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

주어진 문장: Researchers have found that people who use this method are significantly more likely to follow through on their goals than those who rely on willpower alone. Last January, Minji wrote the same resolution she always wrote: study English for an hour every day. ( ① ) By February, she had already quit, just as in previous years. Frustrated, she asked her teacher why her willpower always failed, and learned about a concept called implementation intentions. ( ② ) This idea, developed by psychologists, means forming a specific if-then plan that links a certain situation to a certain action in advance. ( ③ ) Instead of vaguely intending to study more, Minji made a precise plan: if she finished dinner, then she would study for thirty minutes. ( ④ ) She also prepared a backup plan: if she felt too tired, then she would study for just ten minutes instead of skipping entirely. ( ⑤ ) Because these plans removed the need to decide anything in the moment, starting became far easier for Minji. By December, she had studied for eleven straight months, proving that clear if-then plans beat vague intentions.

주어진 문장: Yet many people write down their goals at the beginning of the year and never check how far they have come. Setting a goal is only the first step; keeping track of progress is just as important. ( ① ) Without regular records, it becomes easy to lose motivation or forget the original purpose of a goal. ( ② ) Keeping a simple log, such as a weekly checklist or a short journal entry, lets a person see clear evidence of improvement over time. ( ③ ) For instance, someone learning guitar might record which songs they practiced each week, and looking back later reveals growth that felt invisible day to day. ( ④ ) Tracking progress also helps identify problems early, since a person can notice when effort stops producing results and adjust the plan before too much time is wasted. ( ⑤ )

주어진 문장: This small success, in turn, created enough momentum that stopping suddenly felt more difficult than continuing. Jian wanted to become a reader for years, but every time he picked up a thick novel, he felt overwhelmed and quickly closed it. ( ① ) His cousin, who had read dozens of books that year, told him about something called the two-minute rule. ( ② ) This rule states that a new habit should be shrunk to under two minutes, since a smaller starting point removes the friction that usually stops people from beginning. ( ③ ) Instead of committing to a full chapter each night, Jian promised himself only to open a book and read one page. ( ④ ) Some nights he stopped after that single page, but most nights, once started, he kept reading for twenty or thirty minutes without noticing. ( ⑤ ) Because the initial barrier became so small, sitting down no longer felt like a burden requiring willpower. Within three months, Jian had finished five books, proving that reducing friction can matter more than motivation itself.
