Every summer, doctors warn about the danger of heatstroke, a serious condition in which ___________. This condition can be life-threatening if it is not treated quickly. To prevent heatstroke, drink plenty of water throughout the day, avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours, and wear light, loose clothing.

Our school's volunteer club, Helping Hands, tries to _______________. Each month, students visit a nearby nursing home and spend an afternoon talking with elderly residents. 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. 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. 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. By the end of the year, many students say the club changed how they see their community.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. However, experts suggest that _______________. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never seems to end: e-books or paper books? (A) Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important is lost on a screen, since many readers say they remember a book's plot more clearly by recalling where a scene appeared on the page. (B) Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, and readers can also change the font size or look up a word instantly. (C) Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story, and interestingly, most young readers do not choose one format forever.

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) Small choices, she added, carry surprising weight: rounded shapes tend to feel friendly and safe, while sharp angles suggest danger or power, even to viewers who have never studied design. (B) A visiting illustrator who spoke at our school explained that a truly successful design should be identifiable even as a plain black silhouette, since audiences often notice a character's outline before they notice any facial detail. (C) 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 chosen.

Selling products directly to customers has never been easier. More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday.

( ③ ) Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money and marketing a product.

주어진 문장: It was a small decision, but it suddenly felt like the beginning of something new. On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. ① Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. ② However, the long list of coding projects looked too complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a quiet table where students were sketching posters together. ③ A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club welcomed complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. ④ Her gentle voice made me feel relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. ⑤ Walking out of the gym, I finally felt that I belonged in this new school.

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.

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.
