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.

When Suji transferred to a new school in March, she ①knew no one in her class and felt lonely during lunch and breaks. Her homeroom teacher suggested ②joining a club to make friends more easily. Suji signed up for the photography club, though she had never taken photography seriously before. At the first meeting, older members taught her how ③to adjusting a camera and find a good angle. Because everyone shared photos and gave friendly feedback each week, Suji gradually felt more comfortable with the other members. One rainy afternoon, a fellow member, Hana, ④invited her to photograph the flooded schoolyard together. They laughed while trying to keep their cameras dry, and that moment grew into a real friendship. By the end of the semester, Suji had a small group of friends ⑤who understood her sense of humor.

Dear members of the Debate Club, I am writing to let you know that our ①irregular meeting time has been changed. We usually meet in Room 304 every Wednesday after school, but the room will be used for sports day ②practice next week. Instead, our meeting will be held in the library on Thursday at the same time. Please bring the debate topic that you ③prepared last week, since we will practice our arguments together. If you ④cannot attend the new meeting time, please reply to this email by Tuesday evening. We also need two volunteers to arrange the chairs and tables before the meeting begins. Mr. Park, our club advisor, will join us this time to give ⑤feedback on our speaking skills.

Speed-reading courses promise a ①complicated result: read several times faster while understanding just as much as before. The techniques usually involve moving your eyes quickly down the page, skipping small words, and avoiding the habit of ②silently pronouncing each word in your head. Some students do learn to move their eyes faster after a short course. However, researchers who study reading have found a ③serious problem with these claims. Understanding a text is not just about how quickly your eyes move across it; it depends on how deeply your brain processes each sentence and connects new ideas to what you already know. When readers rush through a page at extreme speed, their comprehension usually ④drops sharply, even though they feel confident that they understood everything. In careful studies, speed-reading graduates often score no better on comprehension tests than ⑤ordinary readers who read at a normal pace.

Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are picking them up for themselves. At first glance, a picture book seems too ①simple for someone who has already learned to read long novels. However, many picture books deal with ②serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully chosen words. Because the text is short, every sentence carries extra weight, and readers naturally ③slow down to notice small details in the pictures. This slower pace can feel ④stressful for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications. A picture book can also be finished in a single sitting, which makes it easy to return to the same story again and again. For these reasons, therapists and teachers sometimes recommend picture books not only to children but also to ⑤stressed adults who need a quiet moment.

Attention, all students! Our school will hold the New Year Goal Presentation Day on Friday, January 30th, in the main auditorium, where ___________. Each presentation should last no longer than two minutes and may include a poster or simple props to explain the goal clearly. Students who wish to participate must submit a short outline to their homeroom teacher by January 23rd.

Many English teachers now ask students to write a short review after finishing a book, rather than simply filling out a reading log. (A) Teachers who assign reviews regularly report that their students remember plot details more accurately and discuss characters' motivations more confidently than students who only summarize. In this sense, writing a review is not extra work added onto reading; it is a way of reading more carefully in the first place. (B) To defend an opinion about a character or a theme, students must return to the book and find exact passages that support their view. This process forces readers to notice details they might have skipped during a first, quick reading. (C) At first, students often complain that summarizing a plot is enough work already, so writing an opinion on top of that feels unnecessary. However, a review requires something a summary does not: a clear judgment supported by specific evidence from the text.

Surveys show that fewer than half of teenage cyclists put one on before every ride. 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. ( ① ) Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. ( ② ) However, most bicycle accidents happen close to home, on familiar streets where riders feel too comfortable to expect danger. ( ③ ) 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. ( ④ ) Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs. ( ⑤ )

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

주어진 문장: Once he missed a single day, he found it much easier to miss the next one as well. Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day. ( ① ) For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and felt proud of himself. ( ② ) On the fourth day, however, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted. ( ③ ) Within a week, his resolution had disappeared completely. ( ④ ) Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested that he try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. ( ⑤ ) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming.
