The science club at Hanul High School is running a project ①called "Grow Light." It tests how different colors of light affect plant growth. Each week, members place identical bean sprouts under red, blue, and white light and ②record their height. At first, many students expected the white light ③to produce the tallest plants. However, the results showed that plants under red light grew noticeably ④fast than the others. The club's advisor explained this by comparing light to food. Just as people need certain nutrients to grow strong, plants absorb certain colors of light more efficiently than others. To make the data reliable, students repeat each trial three times and calculate the average. They also keep a shared notebook, ⑤recording sunlight, watering time, and temperature.

Many students set a New Year goal ①to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still ②feels difficult. Researchers ③who studied this process found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must ④rely on willpower. This is why experts suggest ⑤repeat a small action every single day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance right away.

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.

This year's Club Festival will be held in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes ①early. Because seating is ②unlimited, latecomers may need to stand at the back. Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold ③outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. If you have questions, staff members wearing yellow vests will be ④glad to help. We hope everyone ⑤enjoys discovering what our clubs have worked on this semester.

Attention, all students! Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign, and ___________. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two simple steps to achieve it. After completing the card, students will submit it to their homeroom teacher, and all cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. This guide offers simple tips for using 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 instead of writing vague plans. 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.

Traditional economic models predict that a rational individual offered any positive sum of money, however small, should accept it without hesitation. A simple experimental exercise known as the ultimatum game consistently contradicts this prediction: when the proposer offers a division perceived as unfair, the second participant frequently rejects the offer entirely, leaving both parties with nothing. Such evidence challenges the assumption that economic actors pursue only their own material self-interest, demonstrating instead that considerations of ___________ can override the straightforward pursuit of maximum individual gain.

This natural advantage, however, is only a starting point rather than a fixed ceiling. VO2 max, defined as the maximum volume of oxygen a person's body can consume and use during intense exercise, is widely regarded as one of the best single indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness. ( ① ) Elite endurance athletes typically post VO2 max values far higher than those of untrained individuals, reflecting hearts that pump larger volumes of blood and muscles that extract oxygen from that blood with remarkable efficiency. ( ② ) While genetics accounts for a substantial portion of an individual's potential VO2 max, consistent aerobic training can still raise the measurement considerably over months of dedicated effort. ( ③ ) Interval training, which alternates short bursts of near-maximal effort with periods of recovery, has proven particularly effective at improving this measurement compared to steady, moderate-intensity exercise alone. ( ④ ) It is worth noting, however, that a high VO2 max does not guarantee success in competition, since factors such as running economy, pacing strategy, and mental resilience also play a decisive role in determining who actually crosses the finish line first.

주어진 문장: In other words, silence breeds even more silence, feeding a self-reinforcing cycle. Communication scholar Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann proposed the spiral of silence theory to explain why certain opinions dominate public discussion while others fade into invisibility. ( ① ) According to this theory, individuals constantly observe their surrounding environment to judge which opinions are widely accepted and which are not. ( ② ) When people sense that their own view belongs to a minority, they often choose to stay silent rather than risk social isolation or criticism. ( ③ ) This silence, however, creates a distorted impression that the minority opinion is even rarer than it actually is, discouraging additional supporters from speaking up. ( ④ ) Over time, this cycle spirals downward, allowing the dominant opinion to appear increasingly unanimous while dissenting voices disappear from visible conversation. ( ⑤ ) Social media platforms can intensify this spiral, since visibility metrics make popular opinions instantly noticeable while unpopular ones remain hidden.

Yet the more she corrected them, the quieter the room became. Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. ( ① ) Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. ( ② ) Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. ( ③ ) Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. ( ④ ) After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. ( ⑤ ) Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.
