Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. ①Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also ②including stories from different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student ③give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly ④update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it ⑤is meant to serve.

Speed-reading courses promise a ①complicated result: read several times faster while understanding just as much as before. The techniques usually involve moving your eyes quickly down the page, skipping small words, and avoiding the habit of ②silently pronouncing each word in your head. Some students do learn to move their eyes faster after a short course. However, researchers who study reading have found a ③serious problem with these claims. Understanding a text is not just about how quickly your eyes move across it; it depends on how deeply your brain processes each sentence and connects new ideas to what you already know. When readers rush through a page at extreme speed, their comprehension usually ④drops sharply, even though they feel confident that they understood everything. In careful studies, speed-reading graduates often score no better on comprehension tests than ⑤ordinary readers who read at a normal pace.

Every July, our school library launches a summer reading challenge that invites students to read at least five books before classes begin again in September. Students who complete the challenge receive a ①small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. Without daily homework and tests to worry about, summer gives students ②rare freedom to choose books purely because they sound interesting, not because a teacher assigned them. Librarians notice that students often pick more ③common genres during the challenge, including graphic novels, poetry, and nonfiction about hobbies they enjoy. This freedom seems to ④matter more than the prize itself, since students who only cared about winning tend to quit once the reading feels difficult, while curious readers keep going. Teachers who track student progress after summer report that challenge participants often return in September with noticeably ⑤stronger reading habits than classmates who read nothing over the break.

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets as it is for people, because ___________. Owners must therefore provide plenty of fresh water, avoid walking pets during the hottest hours, and never leave them alone in a parked car.

The Hillside Community Center is recruiting student volunteers for its summer programs. (A) No prior experience is necessary, since training will be provided on the first day. (B) Volunteers will help with tutoring younger children, organizing books, and assisting elderly residents.

Yuna and I decided to set our New Year goals together instead of separately, and our journey had several stages. (A) Thanks to her encouragement, I remembered why I had started, and we both kept going until we reached our goals by spring. (B) At first, we each wrote down our own goal and agreed to text each other every night about our progress. (C) After a couple of weeks, I began to feel tired and wanted to quit, but Yuna noticed my short replies and called me.

Surveys show that fewer than half of teenage cyclists put one on before every ride. Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. ( ① ) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. ( ② ) However, most bicycle accidents happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger. ( ③ ) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. ( ④ ) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. ( ⑤ )

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

The change is small, but it asks students to do something quite different. Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. ( ① ) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. ( ② ) However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text. ( ③ ) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. ( ④ ) This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. ( ⑤ ) Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize, and writing a review turns out to be a way of reading more carefully in the first place.

주어진 문장: Once he missed a single day, he found it much easier to miss the next one as well. Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day. ( ① ) For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and felt proud of himself. ( ② ) On the fourth day, however, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted. ( ③ ) Within a week, his resolution had disappeared completely. ( ④ ) Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested that he try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. ( ⑤ ) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming.
