Every July, our school library ①launches a summer reading challenge that invites students to read at least five books before classes begin again in September. Students who ②complete the challenge receive a small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. Without daily homework and tests to worry about, summer gives students rare freedom ③to 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, ④including graphic novels, poetry, and nonfiction about hobbies they enjoy. 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 ⑤keeps going.

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 ①embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park ②cleaner and healthier. 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 ③tired, but her heart felt ④proud 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 ⑤destroy a whole community.

Audiobooks have grown rapidly in popularity over the past several years, and many commuters now listen to novels instead of reading printed pages. Publishers report that audiobook sales continue to rise every year, while the growth of printed book sales has ①slowed. Part of the appeal is ②convenience, since listeners can enjoy a story while driving, exercising, or doing housework. Some traditional readers argue that listening to a book is not the same as truly reading it, because the listener does not process written words directly. Researchers who study this question have found that comprehension scores for listeners and readers are usually very ③similar, as long as the material is not too complex. The biggest difference tends to appear with ④dense, technical material, which is often easier to follow in print because readers can pause and reread difficult sentences at will. For most everyday reading, however, the debate over audiobooks may matter less than simply finding a format that keeps people ⑤disengaged with stories.

Many students wonder why club activities matter so much for their school life record, a document that summarizes what a student did during each semester. Whenever students take part in a club, their teacher writes a short note describing what role they played and how they grew. For example, a student who organized a club exhibition might be described as someone who showed strong leadership and creativity. These notes are not simply a list of activities; they _______________. Therefore, admissions officers at universities read the record carefully to understand a student's genuine interests, not just their grades. In contrast, a club membership with no real participation rarely leaves a meaningful impression. This is why teachers encourage students to take an active role rather than joining a club only for its name.

During the sports day relay race, Jun was nervous, and his hands were shaking as he waited for the baton. When his turn came, he grabbed the baton but nearly dropped it while turning the first corner. (A) As he handed the baton smoothly to the next runner, he realized that the team's effort mattered more than his mistake. (B) His teammates, watching from the field, shouted his name and encouraged him to keep running. Even though Jun felt embarrassed, their cheering gave him confidence to focus on the runner ahead of him. (C) After the race, his teammates gathered around him and said that his recovery had kept the team in the competition. Jun understood then that teamwork means supporting each other even after something goes wrong. His class did not win first place, but they celebrated together as if they had.

Dear residents, this notice explains how to use our apartment recycling area correctly. The recycling area, located behind the main entrance, is open every day from six to ten in the evening. (A) First, sort your items into the labeled sections for paper, plastic, glass, and cans before dropping them off. Boxes should be flattened, and bottles should be emptied, because dirty items are hard to recycle. (B) In contrast to ordinary trash, recyclable materials must never be mixed together in one bag. Following these simple rules keeps our shared space tidy for every family. (C) However, please do not leave large furniture or electronics in this area at any time. Instead, contact the management office to arrange a separate pickup for those bulky items. For example, broken chairs and old refrigerators require a special sticker before collection.

In their view, reading a caption or a text message still counts as reading, even if it looks very different from reading a novel. Many teachers and parents worry that today's teenagers are losing the ability to read long, complex texts. ( ① ) National test scores show a slow decline in reading comprehension over the past ten years, and some experts blame smartphones and short videos for shortening students' attention spans. ( ② ) Other researchers disagree with this simple explanation. ( ③ ) They point out that teenagers today read constantly, just in different forms, such as text messages, captions, and online articles. ( ④ ) According to this view, the real problem is not that students read less overall, but that they rarely practice reading long passages without any interruption. ( ⑤ ) A team of researchers recently found that students who read at least one full book every month scored noticeably higher on comprehension tests than students who mainly read short online posts, which suggests that the format of reading, rather than simple screen time, may be the more important factor behind the changing scores.

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

주어진 문장: Even during lunchtime, however, a few members quietly check the equipment for the next broadcast. Most students only see the final result, a few smooth minutes each morning. Behind that short program, however, broadcasting club members follow a busy daily routine. ① Members arrive at school thirty minutes earlier than other students to prepare the studio. They check the microphones, the cameras, and the lighting before anyone else arrives. ② Meanwhile, the script team finalizes the news script that was written the night before. Once everything is ready, the anchors practice their lines one last time. ③ At exactly eight o'clock, the red light turns on, and the live broadcast begins. During class hours, however, most members return to their regular classroom lessons like everyone else. ④ After school, the club meets again to review that morning's recording and discuss any mistakes. ⑤ Through this daily routine, members slowly learn skills such as teamwork and quick thinking under pressure.
