Parents and coaches sometimes worry that heavy resistance training might damage the growth plates in a young athlete's bones, cartilage regions near the ends of long bones ① that are responsible for lengthening as a child develops. This concern kept strength training out of many youth programs for decades. However, extensive research over the past twenty years has found little evidence ② that properly supervised resistance training harms growth plates in healthy children. The actual risk arises not from lifting weights itself but from poor technique, excessive load, and inadequate supervision, factors ③ that can injure any part of a young athlete's body regardless of the activity involved. Major pediatric and sports medicine organizations now generally agree that structured strength programs, when ④ teaching with correct form and appropriate weight, can safely ⑤ improve bone density, coordination, and injury resistance in young athletes.

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school ①called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members ②jogs around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, ③called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park cleaner and healthier. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, ④who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, ⑤practiced together, can change a whole community.

When people ①fail to reach a goal, they often feel embarrassed and want to give up. However, the way a person thinks about failure can ②changing what happens next. Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, ③which leads them to stop trying. Others see failure differently: they treat it as useful information ④that shows what needs to change. For example, a student who fails a math test might later ask the teacher which questions were weak points and ⑤study those areas more carefully.

This workbook is designed ①to help you set meaningful goals for the new year. First, turn to page one and write down one goal ②that you truly want to achieve this year. Next, complete the reason section by ③explain why this goal matters to you. On page two, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps, ④using the space provided for each month. If you fall behind schedule, do not simply give up; instead, revise your steps in pencil and ⑤keep moving forward.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and ①frowned at how much had changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, which was still more than the year before. My exercise habit became the biggest ②surprise, since I now run almost every morning without feeling forced. Saving money was ③harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses kept appearing. Still, I saved enough for half of the bicycle, and I felt quite ④proud of that progress. Looking back, I realized that steady effort matters more than reaching every goal exactly as planned, and I stayed ⑤hopeful about what the next year might bring.

Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign to help everyone begin the year with ①vague direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one ②personal goal along with two simple steps. After completing the card, students must ③submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th. All goal cards will then be ④displayed on the bulletin board outside the library, so students can encourage one another. Students who show clear progress will receive a small prize, which we hope will ⑤motivate everyone to keep trying.

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

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that _______________. His class did not win first place, but they celebrated together as if they had.

Minji's New Year running plan did not go as smoothly as she had hoped. (A) They discovered that running before sunrise in freezing weather had simply been too hard to keep up. (B) After only a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and eventually gave up on running altogether. (C) So she decided to run after school instead, and this small change helped her stick to her plan and grow stronger.

Not all parts of a city experience the same temperature, even when they are located close to one another. (A) Tall buildings packed closely together also block wind, trapping warm air within narrow streets. In contrast, areas with abundant trees and open water naturally stay cooler, since plants release moisture that helps lower surrounding temperatures. (B) To reduce this effect, many cities have begun installing rooftop gardens and expanding public parks, hoping that additional greenery will absorb less heat than pavement does. (C) On a summer evening, downtown streets often feel noticeably hotter than nearby parks or suburban neighborhoods, even after the sun has set. This phenomenon, known as the urban heat island effect, occurs when cities retain more heat than surrounding rural areas because of their dense concentration of asphalt, concrete, and buildings. Unlike soil or vegetation, which absorb and release heat gradually, these man-made surfaces absorb sunlight during the day and slowly radiate it back at night, preventing temperatures from cooling.
