Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, ①what contain harmful chemicals, should never be ②thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, ③which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone ④to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries ⑤that 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.

Last Saturday, Jimin visited the recycling center near her apartment with her science class. She ①had expected the place to be dirty and unpleasant, but the center looked clean and well organized. A worker named Mr. Park guided the students through each area, ②explaining how bottles, cans, and paper were sorted. He showed them a machine ③that crushed plastic bottles into small pieces before they were sent to factories. Jimin was surprised to learn that mixed trash, ④thrown into the wrong bin, often ruined an entire batch of recyclables. For example, one greasy pizza box could contaminate a whole pile of clean paper. However, when items were sorted correctly, they could be reused many times, almost like ingredients in a favorite recipe. ⑤Walked home, Jimin realized that her small effort at home truly mattered.

A ①shrinking number of teenagers are joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. These apps let users track how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less ②lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members ③motivated, turning a private habit into a small social game. However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time ④chatting about the story than actually reading it. Despite this concern, many students report that the sense of community keeps them reading books they would have quit halfway through if they had been reading completely ⑤alone.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to ①restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig ②proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to ③die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed ④closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for ⑤costly.

Many people throw away items that they no longer need. However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. This practice, often called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, _______________. Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is lost on a screen: _______________. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever.

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.

It was, I realized, a lesson about storytelling disguised as a lesson about furniture. 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. ( ① ) When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked. ( ② ) 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, deciding where a miniature family might set down a teacup or leave a chair pulled slightly away from the table. ( ③ ) She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, ( ④ ) explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. ( ⑤ ) That small decision taught me that miniature craft is not primarily about precision, but about convincingly imagining an ordinary life small enough to fit inside a shoebox.

After all, the sentences are short and the pictures seem to do most of the storytelling. Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are picking them up for themselves. ( ① ) At first glance, a picture book seems too simple for someone who has already learned to read long novels. ( ② ) However, many picture books deal with serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully chosen words. ( ③ ) Because the text is short, every sentence carries extra weight, and readers naturally slow down to notice small details in the pictures. ( ④ ) This slower pace can feel calming for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications. ( ⑤ ) A picture book can also be finished in a single sitting, which makes it easy to return to the same story again and again, and for these reasons, therapists and teachers sometimes recommend picture books not only to children but also to stressed adults who need a quiet moment.

주어진 문장: In other words, the item keeps its basic shape but serves a completely different purpose. Have you ever thrown away an old pair of jeans simply because they no longer fit? ① Instead of discarding them, many people now turn old items into something new and useful. This creative process, called upcycling, transforms unwanted objects into products with greater value than before. ② For example, a worn pair of jeans can be cut and sewn into a sturdy bag or a small pouch. Old wooden pallets, once used for shipping, are often rebuilt into simple furniture such as tables and shelves. ③ However, upcycling differs from ordinary recycling, which usually breaks materials down before making something new. In upcycling, the original material keeps most of its form while gaining a fresh purpose. ④ Therefore, choosing to upcycle rather than throw items away can reduce waste significantly. ⑤ This small shift in thinking allows old objects to enjoy a meaningful second life.
