Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign ①to help everyone begin the year with clear direction. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card ②given by the homeroom teacher. On this card, write one personal goal for the new year, along with two simple steps ③to achieve it. After completing your card, submit it to your homeroom teacher, and all goal cards ④will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library. Students who show clear progress toward their goals will ⑤receiving a small prize during the morning assembly.

Many students ①take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test, ②which is designed to measure a person's interests and strengths, does not simply tell students which job to choose. Instead, it helps them understand themselves better. For example, a student ③who enjoy solving problems might discover a hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should ④be used only as a guide, not as a final answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point for ⑤exploring various career paths, rather than a fixed decision.

During exam season last year, our school counselor ①introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. I attended mostly out of curiosity, ②expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. To my surprise, filling a blank page with color, without worrying whether the result looked good, ③left me noticeably calmer than scrolling through my phone during the same amount of free time. The counselor explained that art therapy does not aim to produce impressive paintings; it simply gives people a way ④express feelings that are difficult to put into words, especially frustration or anxiety that builds up silently during a stressful week. Several classmates who initially came only to avoid studying kept ⑤returning on their own afterward.

Earthquakes strike without any warning, which is exactly why the seconds immediately after the shaking begins matter more than any other moment in an ①emergency. Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always ②more dangerous than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since falling glass, signs, and debris often cause more injuries near exits and windows than sturdy interior spaces do. Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a ③lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack. After the shaking stops, experts warn that the greatest remaining danger is often a damaged structure rather than a second earthquake, so ④calmly checking for hazards before moving is just as important as reacting ⑤quickly at the first tremor.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, _______________. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

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 small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. Without daily homework and tests to worry about, summer gives students rare freedom to choose books purely because they sound interesting, not because a teacher assigned them. Librarians believe that _______________, since students who only cared about winning the prize tend to quit once the reading feels difficult, while curious readers keep going.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. (A) Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others. (B) At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. (C) However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just finished. (A) Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises over the very same pages. (B) Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. (C) This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely, because one person's small comment can reshape how everyone else understood the story.

Motivation, after all, makes learning easier and far more effective. Choosing a college major is one of the biggest decisions many students face after high school. ( ① ) Some students assume that their major will completely determine their future career, but this is not always true. ( ② ) What matters more than the major itself is the set of skills a student develops, such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving. ( ③ ) These abilities can be applied to almost any career. ( ④ ) However, choosing a major that genuinely interests a student still matters. ( ⑤ ) Therefore, students should choose a major based on curiosity and personal growth, not only on which job it seems to guarantee.

This convenience gap between renting the scooter itself and preparing to ride it safely explains a great deal. Electric scooters have become a common sight on city sidewalks, offering a quick way to cover short distances, yet most riders climb on without ever putting on a helmet. ( ① ) Part of the problem is that renting a scooter takes only a few taps on a phone screen, while finding and carrying a helmet requires planning that many riders simply skip. ( ② ) Emergency room doctors note that scooter-related head injuries have risen sharply in recent years, closely tracking the rise in scooter popularity itself. ( ③ ) Unlike a bicycle, which typically requires balance skills built up over years of practice, an electric scooter can reach a surprising speed within seconds, often faster than new riders expect from something that looks simple to operate. ( ④ ) A fall at that speed, onto pavement rather than grass, can cause a head injury just as severe as one from a bicycle or a small motorcycle. ( ⑤ ) Cities that have begun requiring helmets for scooter rentals report a measurable drop in serious injuries.
