For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected ①to stay silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely different. 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 ②did not happen by accident. As more information moved online, fewer people ③needing a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out ④to 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. Librarians respond that reading and gathering have always belonged together, and that a library survives only by ⑤changing with its readers.

Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never ①seem to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which ②makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important ③is lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene ④appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, ⑤treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.

Last week, I started feeling tired and ①had a mild headache every afternoon at school. My mother told me it might be air-conditioning sickness, ②which happens when people sit in a cold room for too long. After doing some research, I learned a few simple ways ③to prevent it. I began carrying a light jacket ④wearing indoors when the room felt too cold, and I made sure to drink warm water instead of only cold drinks. Within a few days, my headaches ⑤disappeared, and I felt much more energetic.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. Choosing these books is not as simple as picking ①well-known titles. Teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. A good list should also include stories from ②different cultures and different kinds of characters, so that every student can find someone to relate to. Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student ③give up on reading altogether, while a book that is too easy may feel boring. Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually ④ignored. In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it is meant to ⑤serve.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes ①lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily ②notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking, since seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask ③sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it ④harder to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated. Teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with ⑤specific examples rather than vague generalizations.

Attention, students! Our school festival is going green this year, and we truly need your help. This event aims to ①reduce the disposable waste that usually piles up during the celebration. First, please bring your own cup, plate, and utensils to every food booth you visit. Second, each booth should use ②reusable decorations rather than paper banners that get thrown away within hours. Students who join as Green Helpers will manage the recycling stations, sorting cans, bottles, and paper ③carefully all day long. Therefore, everyone's small cooperation will directly ④increase the amount of trash sent to the landfill. However, single-use plastic bags are ⑤strictly prohibited at every booth this year.

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 encourage 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 _______________. 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.

A growing number of teenagers are joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. (A) However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it. Despite this concern, many students report that the sense of community keeps them reading books they would have quit halfway through if they had been reading completely alone. (B) These apps let users track how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. (C) The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, turning a private habit into a small social game.

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.

Students who treat their plan as fixed forever may feel unnecessarily anxious when their goals shift. Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important benefits. ( ① ) First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals, instead of picking them randomly. ( ② ) Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful rather than simply a routine task. ( ③ ) However, an effective career plan should remain flexible, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. ( ④ ) Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and adjusting it based on new experiences. ( ⑤ ) In this way, careful planning does not limit a student's future; instead, it provides a clear yet adaptable path toward genuine personal growth and long-term satisfaction.
