Accidents rarely wait for a doctor ①to be nearby, which is why basic first aid knowledge can make a critical difference in the first few minutes after an injury occurs. Many students assume that only professionals should touch an injured person, ②fearing that any mistake might make things worse. In reality, a few simple actions, such as applying steady pressure to a bleeding wound or keeping an unconscious person's airway clear, can prevent a minor injury from ③becoming a life-threatening one. Waiting passively for an ambulance, rather than doing anything at all, ④are often the more dangerous choice, since every minute without basic care allows a treatable injury to worsen. Of course, first aid is never a substitute for professional medical treatment, and it ⑤should never replace an emergency call.

Every January, our school invites a graduate ①to share advice, and last week a former student named Minho visited our class. Three years ago, he was a shy sophomore ②who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. Instead of ③studying everything at once, he focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. He also found a study partner ④shared the same goal, and they checked each other's progress every week. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, ⑤proving that steady effort truly pays off.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. Choosing 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 include 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 give 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 update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. In the end, _______________.

Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Therefore, using a reusable bag is _______________. For example, students who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still purchase a paper bag for a small fee. We hope every student will join this easy and meaningful campaign. Thank you for helping our school become greener.

Yuna bought a disposable coffee cup every morning on her way to school. She never thought about where those cups ended up after she threw them away. One day, her science teacher showed the class a photo of a beach covered with plastic cups and bottles. Yuna felt shocked because she realized _______________. That evening, she found an old tumbler hidden in a kitchen drawer and decided to use it every day. At first, carrying the tumbler felt inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. However, she kept a reminder note on her bag, which helped her remember it each morning. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends noticed the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always _______________. Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

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. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. 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. 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 _______________.

Safety signs surround us so constantly, from a yellow diamond warning of a curve ahead to a red octagon commanding a full stop, that most people stop consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. (A) Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. (B) This is precisely the outcome that sign designers hope to avoid, since a sign that requires careful thought to interpret in an emergency has already failed at its purpose. (C) Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals caution, and green marks safety.

People often react to failure in very different ways, and this difference can shape their future success. (A) For example, a student who fails a math test might feel upset briefly, but then ask the teacher which questions revealed weak points. (B) Some people believe that failing simply proves they lack ability, so they quickly give up on their goal. (C) Others, however, treat the failure as useful information and use it to build a clearer plan for improvement.

When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. (A) Walking with shorter, flatter steps and keeping the hands free rather than in pockets can help a person regain balance quickly if a foot suddenly slides. (B) Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them caused not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway. (C) Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why so many falls happen on stretches that pedestrians would never suspect.
