The city government has launched a summer energy-saving campaign to ①reduce electricity use during the hottest months. Using fans together with air conditioners cools rooms more efficiently while using ②more power. To prevent blackouts, residents are asked to set air conditioners no lower than twenty-six degrees Celsius, which helps save ③energy. Businesses are asked to dim unnecessary outdoor signs after ten at night. Families who reduce their electricity use by more than ten percent will receive a ④discount on their next bill, which is a nice ⑤reward for their effort.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not ①allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their ②original positions before leaving. If equipment is ③broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ④follow these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will keep the room ⑤clean and available for everyone.

When someone's heart suddenly stops beating, the brain begins to suffer damage within minutes unless blood keeps circulating. Studies show that a person who receives CPR immediately from someone nearby is far more likely to ①survive than one who waits for professional help to arrive. Despite this, many people ②hesitate to start chest compressions, worried that they might break a rib or make the situation worse. Modern CPR training has also been ③simplified, focusing on firm, rhythmic chest compressions rather than the more complicated combination of breaths and compressions once required, making the skill ④easier for ordinary students to learn and remember under pressure. For this reason, many schools now ⑤exclude CPR training as a standard part of health education.

Our school's book club, Page Turners, meets every Wednesday to discuss a book the members chose. At the start of each month, students suggest titles and vote to pick one. This way, everyone feels some ①indifference over what the club reads next. Before each meeting, members read several chapters and prepare a few questions. During the meeting, the leader opens discussion by asking a question about the story's main idea. Then members take turns sharing their opinions, even when they disagree with each other. For example, students once argued for a long time about a character's ②difficult choice. Such debates, though sometimes ③loud, help members understand ④different points of view. At the end of the semester, the club holds an event to recommend favorite books. Through this process, reading becomes less like homework and more like a ⑤shared conversation.

A food allergy can turn an ordinary snack shared between classmates into a medical ①emergency within minutes, which is why schools now take ingredient labels more seriously than they once did. For someone with a severe allergy, even a trace amount of the wrong ingredient, transferred by a shared spoon or an unwashed hand, can trigger a reaction that closes the airway and becomes ②life-threatening if untreated. Friends of allergic students sometimes assume that a small bite would not cause serious harm, not realizing that the amount needed to trigger anaphylaxis can be ③larger than a crumb. Recognizing the early signs, such as swelling around the lips, hives, or sudden difficulty breathing, allows classmates and teachers to act before the reaction becomes ④severe. Many schools now train staff to use an epinephrine auto-injector, a device that can ⑤reverse a dangerous reaction within seconds.

Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned tense. Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. Several students felt hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. After an awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: _______________. Slowly, the tension faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real confidence and earned second place.

Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels difficult. Researchers who studied this process found that ___________. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something new, so you must rely on willpower. Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes easier, and by the end, the action feels natural and comfortable.

Summer heat can be just as dangerous for pets as it is for people, because ___________. Owners must therefore provide plenty of fresh water, avoid walking pets during the hottest hours, and never leave them alone in a parked car.

Earthquakes strike without any warning, which is exactly why the seconds immediately after the shaking begins matter more than any other moment in an emergency. (A) Furniture that seems merely inconvenient during a fire drill, such as a heavy desk, becomes a lifesaving shield when the ceiling above begins to crack. (B) Safety experts consistently teach the same three steps: drop to the ground, take cover under sturdy furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. (C) Many people instinctively want to run outside during a quake, imagining that open space is always safer than a building, but this instinct can be dangerous, since falling debris often causes more injuries near exits and windows.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. (A) 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, since a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. (B) 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, the best list keeps changing to match its readers. (C) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites.
