Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready ①to talk about a book they have all just finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together ②changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else ③understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance ④push them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises ⑤over the very same pages.

Many students ①take a career aptitude test at some point in high school. This test, ②which is designed to measure a person's interests and strengths, does not simply tell students which job to choose. Instead, it helps them understand themselves better. For example, a student ③who enjoy solving problems might discover a hidden interest in engineering. However, the results should ④be used only as a guide, not as a final answer. Therefore, students should treat the test as a useful starting point for ⑤exploring various career paths, rather than a fixed decision.

Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that ⑤benefits your entire community.

Last Saturday, the temperature outside reached almost thirty-eight degrees, so my family decided to stay indoors for the entire day. At first, I worried that staying inside would be ①boring, but we found several fun activities to enjoy together. In the morning, we visited a nearby indoor climbing gym, where I learned some basic climbing techniques from an ②instructor. After lunch, we went to a small museum that had a special exhibition, and my younger brother was especially ③excited to see the huge whale model hanging from the ceiling. In the afternoon, we played board games at a cafe. By the time we got home, I realized that indoor activities could be just as ④boring as outdoor ones, especially during a ⑤heatwave.

Every day, people throw away piles of used paper without thinking about where it goes. However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and _______________. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins.

Last spring, Mina joined the school environmental club because she wanted to make a difference. At first, she felt nervous about speaking in front of the other members. (A) Every Friday, the members walked around the school picking up trash near the playground. Mina soon realized that this weekly habit was like watering a small plant every day.

(C) Therefore, the club decided to place clear recycling bins in every classroom. In contrast to her early doubts, Mina began to feel proud of the changes she noticed.

주어진 문장: In contrast, a cloth bag can be used again and again for many years. Attention, students and teachers! Our school is starting a new campaign called 'Bring Your Own Bag.' ① Starting next Monday, the school store will no longer offer free plastic bags to customers. ② Instead, we encourage everyone to bring a reusable shopping bag from home. ③ Plastic bags, which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. ④ Therefore, using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. ⑤ 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.
