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.

The Hopeful Start Workshop will be held on January 10th at the Green Hill Community Center. This event ①helps students set clear and realistic goals for the new year.

The workshop is open to all middle and high school students, and no experience ④are required. Students can register online through the center's website or by ⑤calling the front desk before January 8th.

Most students only see the final result, a few smooth minutes each morning. Behind that short program, however, broadcasting club members follow a busy daily routine. Members arrive at school thirty minutes earlier than other students ①preparing the studio. They check the microphones, the cameras, and the lighting before anyone else ②arrives. Meanwhile, the script team finalizes the news script that was ③written the night before. Once everything is ready, the anchors ④practice their lines one last time. At exactly eight o'clock, the red light turns on, and the live broadcast begins. During class hours, however, most members return to their regular classroom lessons like everyone else. After school, the club meets again to review that morning's recording and ⑤discuss any mistakes. Through this daily routine, members slowly learn skills such as teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.

Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium. Every student is ①invited to share one personal goal for this year in front of classmates and teachers. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal ②clearly.

Prizes will be given for the most ④creative goal and the most inspiring presentation, chosen by a panel of teachers.

For the first week, she woke up early and ran ①happily, feeling proud of her new habit. However, after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping, and soon she stopped running altogether, which made her feel ②confident about her progress. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too ③difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was ④warmer and she had more energy. She kept running three times a week, and by spring, she had grown much stronger and more ⑤positive.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely different. _______________. Librarians say this change did not happen by accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead.

Scientists have studied exactly how a habit becomes part of daily life over time. (A) In the early stage, the brain still treats the new activity as unusual, so a person must rely heavily on willpower to continue. (B) By the final stage, the behavior no longer requires effort, since it has become a natural and comfortable part of the daily routine. (C) As the weeks pass, the behavior gradually becomes easier because the brain begins to expect it at a certain time each day.

Every morning, our broadcasting club airs a short news program for the entire school. Last Tuesday, I was chosen to read the weather report for the very first time. (A) My partner Minho, who was sitting beside me, quickly slid the script closer to me. I took a deep breath and calmly continued reading from where I had stopped. (B) My hands were shaking 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. (C) Somehow, my voice sounded steadier than I expected, and I finished 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.

주어진 문장: This constant tracking allows algorithms to build a detailed profile of each user's interests over time. Internet activist Eli Pariser introduced the term filter bubble to describe a phenomenon created by online algorithms. Social media platforms and search engines constantly track which links users click and how long they linger on certain posts. ( ① ) Based on this data, algorithms predict what each individual is most likely to enjoy and quietly prioritize similar content in future results. ( ② ) As a result, two people who type the same search query can receive strikingly different results, each tailored to personal history. ( ③ ) This automatic filtering happens silently, without users ever deciding to limit what they see. ( ④ ) Consequently, many people gradually lose access to viewpoints that challenge their existing beliefs, even though they never intended to avoid them. ( ⑤ ) Pariser warned that this invisible curation could weaken democratic debate by narrowing public discussion. Therefore, some experts argue that platforms should reveal how content is filtered, letting users knowingly escape their own bubbles.

주어진 문장: In other words, the record shows how a student thought and acted, not merely which club they joined. Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. ① Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. ② For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they explain the process behind each achievement. ③ Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully to understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. ④ This is why teachers encourage students to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name. ⑤
