Jihun made a resolution ①to study English for two hours every day. For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and ②felt proud of himself. However, on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted, and within a week, his resolution had disappeared. ③Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister about it, and she suggested that he ④try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. Following her advice, he changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming, so he managed ⑤keeping it every day for a month.

Three years ago, he was a ①shy sophomore who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. He wrote down this single goal in his notebook and read it every morning before class. Instead of studying everything at once, he ②focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. There were many moments when he wanted to ③give up, especially before difficult exams. However, he kept reminding himself why he had started. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, proving that steady effort truly ④pays off, and his story continues to ⑤discourage his junior students.

Philosophers often pair the classic trolley problem with a companion case designed to test whether our moral intuitions are actually ① consistent. Imagine a brilliant surgeon who has five patients, each dying from the failure of a different organ, and one healthy visitor in the waiting room whose organs happen to be a perfect ② match for all five. If the surgeon secretly killed the healthy visitor and transplanted the organs, five lives would be saved at the cost of one, exactly the same arithmetic used to justify diverting a runaway trolley onto a track with a single worker. Yet almost everyone who accepts the trolley diversion ③ recoils immediately at the idea of the surgeon cutting up an unwilling patient, even though the numbers are identical in both cases. Philosophers use this contrast to argue that outcomes alone can ④ fully explain our moral judgments, since something about directly using a person's body as a mere means appears to matter deeply to most people's sense of ⑤ right and wrong.

Imagine two travelers preparing for the same trip: one refuses to fly after watching news coverage of a recent plane crash, while the other books a flight without hesitation. Statistically, air travel remains far safer than driving the same distance by car, yet vivid, emotionally charged images tend to dominate human judgment more powerfully than dry statistics ever could. This tendency, in which people estimate how likely an event is based on _______________, quietly shapes countless everyday decisions. News broadcasts that repeatedly feature rare disasters can leave viewers convinced that such events are common, even though official records clearly show the opposite. Advertisers and politicians alike exploit this pattern, knowing that a single striking anecdote often persuades audiences more effectively than pages of careful statistics ever manage to.

Recovering from a serious sports injury involves far more than simply waiting for torn tissue to heal; it requires a carefully structured program that gradually reintroduces stress to the affected area. Immediately after an injury, rest and gentle range-of-motion exercises help prevent stiffness. As pain subsides, therapists introduce light resistance training, slowly rebuilding strength in muscles that have weakened from disuse. Progressing too quickly at this stage is a common mistake, since _______________. Only after strength and flexibility approach pre-injury levels do specialists introduce sport-specific drills that mimic the exact movements an athlete will face in competition.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested joining a club to make friends more easily. (A) One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends who understood her sense of humor. (B) Suji signed up for the photography club, though she had never taken photography seriously before. At the first meeting, older members taught her how to adjust a camera and find a good angle. (C) Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members.

The eventual collapse of a speculative bubble often unfolds with surprising speed compared with the gradual climb that preceded it. (A) As prices begin to fall, investors who bought near the peak, motivated largely by fear of missing further gains, are often the first to sell, since they have the least conviction in the asset's underlying value. (B) Their selling triggers further price declines, which in turn prompt additional investors to sell out of a newly urgent fear of continued loss rather than a fear of missing out. (C) This reversal illustrates that the same herd psychology driving prices upward can just as easily reverse direction, converting collective optimism into collective panic within a remarkably short period.

Exercise does far more than strengthen muscles and the heart; it also produces measurable changes within the brain itself. (A) Interestingly, aerobic activities such as running or swimming appear to produce more pronounced cognitive benefits than purely strength-based training, though the precise biological reasons for this difference remain an active area of investigation. (B) Studies comparing physically active students to sedentary peers have repeatedly found that the active group performs better on tests of attention and problem-solving, even when the exercise session ends well before the test begins. (C) During sustained physical activity, the body releases a protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which supports the growth of new neurons and strengthens connections between existing ones.

Only in recent years have researchers begun to seriously question whether this long-standing fear was ever justified in the first place. 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 that are responsible for lengthening as a child develops. ( ① ) This concern kept strength training out of many youth programs for decades. ( ② ) However, extensive research over the past twenty years has found little evidence that properly supervised resistance training harms growth plates in healthy children. ( ③ ) The actual risk arises not from lifting weights itself but from poor technique, excessive load, and inadequate supervision, factors that can injure any part of a young athlete's body regardless of the activity involved. ( ④ ) Major pediatric and sports medicine organizations now generally agree that structured strength programs, when taught with correct form and appropriate weight, can safely improve bone density, coordination, and injury resistance in young athletes. ( ⑤ )

주어진 문장: That is why many people quickly abandon their planners after just a few weeks. Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. ( ① ) This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals. ( ② ) First, write one clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. ( ③ ) Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing vague plans. ( ④ ) Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them. ( ⑤ ) Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent matters more than being perfect.
