The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs for students during summer vacation. The reading club encourages children to read at least one book per week and ①hide their thoughts from others. The writing workshop helps older students ②improve their essay skills. All programs are free, but registration is required in advance because space is ③limited. Interested students should sign up at the front desk or through the library's website. Materials such as notebooks and pencils will be provided for ④every session, so students can make the most of their ⑤vacation.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay ①silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely ②similar. Alongside the usual shelves, you might find group study rooms, comfortable sofas for reading, computer labs, and even small recording studios for podcasts. Librarians say this change did not happen by ③accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, ④free place where students could study together, job seekers could print a resume, and children could attend a story hour. Some critics worry that libraries are drifting away from their original mission of preserving books, but librarians respond that a library survives only by ⑤changing with its readers.

When I told my parents I wanted to become a musician, I expected them to worry about money and stability. Instead, my father ①surprised me by asking what kind of music made me feel most alive. My mother, who had once dreamed of becoming a painter herself, ②admitted that she still wondered what her life might have looked like. Their honesty made me realize that parents' influence on career choices is not always about ③freedom or control. Sometimes, it comes quietly through shared stories and unfinished dreams. Still, my parents' support taught me that the most helpful kind of guidance often ④respects a child's own voice instead of replacing it. Their trust gave me the ⑤courage to keep pursuing music seriously.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others create simple mobile apps as a hobby. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real challenges too, and mistakes can feel discouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that ___________. For this reason, schools are beginning to offer entrepreneurship clubs, giving students a safe space to test their business ideas.

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that _______________, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore.

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. (A) 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 notice that students often pick more unusual genres during the challenge, including graphic novels, poetry, and nonfiction about hobbies they enjoy. (B) Students who complete the challenge receive a small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. (C) This freedom seems to matter 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 stronger reading habits than classmates who read nothing over the break.

Summer sunlight can be harmful to your skin, but a few habits can protect you. (A) In addition, wearing a hat and sunglasses helps shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight. (B) First, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and reapply it every two hours. (C) Finally, try to stay in the shade during the hours when UV rays are strongest.

Job experience programs let students try out real workplaces for a short time. (A) For example, some students spend a day at a hospital, a bakery, or a design studio. (B) In this way, students gain a clearer picture of what each job truly involves. (C) During the visit, they observe workers and sometimes try simple tasks themselves.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. (A) Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process. (B) She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. (C) When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked.

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.
