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

Before a single line of dialogue is written for many animated shows, a character designer has already spent weeks deciding how that character should look, move, and be recognized at a glance. A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be ①identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often ②ignore a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. She showed us early sketches of a now-famous cartoon hero, in which the same personality had been tested through dozens of different body shapes, from short and round to tall and angular, before the final version was ③chosen. Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest ④danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. I left the talk realizing that a character's personality is communicated through its silhouette long before it ever speaks a single ⑤word.

One of the most overlooked risks is setting up a tent too close to a campfire, since a sudden gust of wind can carry a spark onto dry fabric faster than anyone expects. Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent can attract wildlife looking for food. Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since _______________. None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill; they simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

The job market has changed dramatically over the past few decades, and it continues to shift every year. Many tasks once done entirely by humans are now shared with machines and computer programs. As a result, some traditional jobs have slowly disappeared, while entirely new positions have emerged to replace them. Adapting to these changes can feel stressful, but experts note that workers who ___________ tend to succeed regardless of which industry they choose.

The city government has launched a summer energy-saving campaign because ___________. As air conditioners run constantly, power demand rises sharply and can strain the electricity grid. To prevent blackouts, residents are asked to set air conditioners no lower than twenty-six degrees Celsius and turn off unused electronics.

During exam season last year, our school counselor introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. (A) I attended mostly out of curiosity, expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. (B) To my surprise, filling a blank page with color, without worrying whether the result looked good, left me noticeably calmer than scrolling through my phone during the same amount of free time. (C) The counselor explained that art therapy does not aim to produce impressive paintings; it simply gives people a way to express feelings that are difficult to put into words.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. (A) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. (B) A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. (C) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk feels distant and unlikely, but most accidents actually happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger.

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 wasted electricity, though invisible, still comes from real power plants that burn fuel. Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but it saves more energy than most people expect. ① Every light left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. ② For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to leaving a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. ③ Both actions seem harmless in the moment, but they add up to a serious waste over time. Some students argue that a single light does not make much difference. ④ However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. ⑤ Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet.

Her warning made little sense to me until I sat down in front of hours of unedited footage myself. Our film club spent an entire semester making a five-minute short film, and I was startled to learn just how little of that time was actually spent filming. ( ① ) We wrote and rewrote the script for nearly a month, then spent another two weeks drawing simple storyboards to plan every camera angle before a single scene was recorded. ( ② ) Filming itself took only two Saturday afternoons, yet editing the footage afterward consumed nearly six additional weeks, as we combed through hours of raw clips to choose the handful of seconds that actually made it into the final version. ( ③ ) Our advisor warned us early on that amateur filmmakers usually underestimate editing the most, assuming that a good script and decent camera work will carry a film on their own. ( ④ ) By the time our short film premiered at the school festival, I understood that the visible five minutes represented only a small fraction of the invisible work that had shaped it. ( ⑤ )
