Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases ①that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. These marks, ②often called our carbon footprint, come from small choices such as driving, eating, and using electricity. Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. For example, turning off lights ③when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas ④releasing into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. Therefore, students ⑤who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly.

Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a ①huge action, but it saves more energy than most people expect. Both actions seem ②harmless in the moment, but they add up to a ③serious waste over time. However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes ④significant. Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly ⑤large positive effect for the whole planet.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in a quiet cafe to talk about a book they have all just finished. Members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, _______________. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: _______________. At first this rule frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the shutter button.

Attention, all students! Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign, and ___________. During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two simple steps to achieve it. After completing the card, students will submit it to their homeroom teacher, and all cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library.

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members jog around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, _______________. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can change a whole community.

This is precisely why traffic engineers insist that speed, not visibility, should determine how school zones are enforced. Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. ( ① ) Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. ( ② ) This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: young students often lack the judgment to predict how far a car will travel before it can stop. ( ③ ) They may step off the curb chasing a ball or a friend without checking either direction. ( ④ ) A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy. ( ⑤ ) For this reason, cities have begun installing cameras that automatically fine drivers who ignore the posted limit near schools.

주어진 문장: In other words, the paper completely loses its original shape and becomes a soft, wet mixture. Every day, people throw away piles of used paper without thinking about where it goes. ① However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and become brand new paper again. ② First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into soft, mushy pulp. ③ You can think of this process like breaking a cookie back into flour and water. For example, ink and small pieces of plastic are removed from the pulp during this stage. ④ The clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be reborn as clean white paper. ⑤ In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

This simple comparison shows why learning the meaning of each symbol truly matters. Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. ① Each symbol contains a number that shows what material the item is made of. ② For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. ③ Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. ④ Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. ⑤ Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

This sudden and violent stop is precisely what causes so many of the most severe injuries in a crash. Seatbelts are so woven into the experience of riding in a car that many passengers buckle them without thinking, yet a surprising number of teenagers still skip them for short trips, assuming that a five-minute drive to a friend's house does not carry much risk. ( ① ) Traffic safety data tell a different story: most fatal crashes occur within a few kilometers of home, on roads drivers know so well that they let their guard down. ( ② ) In a collision, a body traveling at a moderate speed continues moving forward at that same speed until something stops it, and without a seatbelt, that something is often the windshield or the dashboard rather than a slower deceleration. ( ③ ) A seatbelt spreads the force of a sudden stop across the stronger parts of the body, such as the hips and chest, instead of concentrating it on the head and neck. ( ④ ) Despite decades of public awareness campaigns, seatbelt use for backseat passengers remains lower than for those sitting in the front. ( ⑤ )
