The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs ①for students during summer vacation. The reading club, ②designed for younger students, encourages children to read at least one book per week. The writing workshop helps older students ③improve their essay skills through fun and creative exercises. In addition, the library will host a special lecture series on careers, ④invited professionals from various fields to speak with students. All programs are free, but registration ⑤is required in advance because space is limited.

Safety signs surround us so constantly that most people stop ①consciously reading them soon after learning to drive. 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 ②succeeded at its purpose. Colors and shapes are chosen deliberately rather than randomly: red almost universally signals danger or prohibition, yellow signals ③caution, and green marks safety, a system consistent enough that a traveler in an unfamiliar country can often guess a sign's meaning without reading a word. Symbols replace text wherever possible for the same reason, allowing a running figure or a flame icon to communicate ④instantly to someone who may not speak the local language. Ignoring a familiar sign because it has become part of the background remains one of the most common and ⑤preventable causes of accidents in public spaces.

On January 1st, I decided to become a healthier person and wrote down three goals: exercising three times a week, reading one book every month, and sleeping before midnight. During the first week, I felt ①excited and followed my plan without any trouble. However, by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too ②tired after school. My friend Mina noticed that I looked discouraged, so she offered to exercise with me after class. Having a partner made the habit much ③harder to keep, and I also moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read every night. By the end of January, I had ④finished two books and jogged more than ten times, and I felt genuinely ⑤proud of the progress I had made.

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

Drinking enough water is especially important during the hot summer months. When you sweat a lot, your body loses not only water but also important minerals called electrolytes. If you do not replace these losses, ___________. Experts recommend drinking water regularly throughout the day, rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.

Minji's New Year running plan did not go as smoothly as she had hoped. (A) They discovered that running before sunrise in freezing weather had simply been too hard to keep up. (B) After only a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and eventually gave up on running altogether. (C) So she decided to run after school instead, and this small change helped her stick to her plan and grow stronger.

Air conditioners keep us cool in summer, but setting the temperature too low can be harmful. (A) For example, a large gap between indoor and outdoor temperatures can lead to headaches, fatigue, and a stuffy nose. (B) This is because a big difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures forces your body to adjust constantly. (C) To prevent this, set a moderate temperature and open a window for a few minutes every hour.

This January, our school will run a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign for every student. (A) First, each student will receive a goal card in homeroom class and write one personal goal along with two steps to reach it. (B) Afterward, all the cards will be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library for everyone to see. (C) Once the card is complete, students must submit it to their homeroom teacher by January 9th.

For my birthday, my older sister took me to a small pottery studio where visitors can shape their own bowl or cup on a spinning wheel. (A) My first attempt collapsed into a shapeless lump within seconds, because I had not realized how much steady, centered pressure the clay actually requires before it can be shaped at all. (B) After nearly a dozen failed attempts, I finally produced a lopsided but recognizable cup, and the small imperfection along its rim somehow made me prouder of it than a perfectly smooth, machine-made mug ever could have. (C) I expected the wheel to do most of the difficult work automatically, since it was already spinning quickly by the time I sat down.

This slow but steady growth is exactly what turns a single visit into a lifelong value. Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to make small acts of kindness feel natural. ( ① ) Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. ( ② ) For example, they read newspapers aloud or just listen to old stories from the residents. In addition, members collect used books and toys from classmates and donate them to a community center downtown. ( ③ ) Some students feel nervous before their first visit, unsure of what to say to strangers. However, most discover that a warm smile works better than perfect words. ( ④ ) Therefore, the club's real goal is not just finishing hours for a report card. Instead, it teaches members that caring for others grows into a lasting habit, like watering a plant daily. ( ⑤ ) By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.
