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, ①which are made from petroleum, take hundreds of years to break down in the environment. In contrast, a cloth bag can be ②used again and again for many years. Therefore, ③using a reusable bag is a simple habit that protects sea animals and reduces pollution. For example, students ④who bring their own bags will receive a small sticker as a reward. However, students who forget their bags may still ⑤purchases 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.

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.

Riding a bicycle is a great way to stay active during summer vacation, but safety should always come ①first. Wearing a helmet is essential, since it can ②prevent serious head injuries in an accident. It is also important to wear bright or reflective clothing so that drivers can see you ③clearly. Riders should always follow traffic signals and ride in the same direction as traffic, never against it, since going against traffic makes accidents much ④less likely. Carrying a water bottle is wise, since dehydration can cause dizziness and affect your ⑤balance.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in a quiet cafe to talk about a book they have all just finished. Members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, _______________. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others create simple mobile apps as a hobby. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real challenges too, and mistakes can feel discouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that ___________. For this reason, schools are beginning to offer entrepreneurship clubs, giving students a safe space to test their business ideas.

Minjun used to leave half of his lunch tray full of untouched rice and vegetables every day. (A) However, his teacher explained that leftover food thrown away every day adds up to a huge amount of waste. She compared uneaten food to money dropped carelessly on the street, which nobody bothers to pick up. (B) Last spring, his class started a campaign called "Clean Plate Day" to reduce food waste, but at first, Minjun thought it sounded boring and unnecessary for someone like him. (C) This comparison surprised Minjun because he had never thought about food that way before. He decided to take only what he could finish and to try new vegetables slowly. Within a few weeks, his tray was almost always empty, and he felt proud of the change. Other students noticed his effort and began doing the same thing.

Keeping a new year's resolution is not always easy, but small changes can make a big difference. (A) In addition, I moved my book onto my desk instead of my phone, which helped me read a few pages every night. (B) At first, I followed my plan perfectly, but by the second week, I began skipping my morning jogs because I felt too tired. (C) Then my friend Mina offered to exercise with me, and having a partner made the habit much easier to keep.

What all three of these risks share is that they can be avoided with a few minutes of preparation, not with expensive gear. A weekend camping trip promises fresh air and a break from screens, but the same wilderness that makes camping appealing also removes many of the safety nets people rely on without noticing, such as nearby hospitals or cell phone signal. ( ① ) 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. ( ② ) Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent, rather than in a sealed container away from the sleeping area, can attract wildlife looking for food. ( ③ ) Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since a clear evening sky offers no guarantee against a sudden storm later that night. ( ④ ) None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill. ( ⑤ ) They simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

주어진 문장: In contrast, throwing away useful items increases the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Many people throw away items that they no longer need. ① However, some students have started to buy and sell used goods instead of throwing them away. ② This practice, often called secondhand trading, takes place at flea markets or through simple online apps. When you buy a secondhand book or a used bicycle, you save money and reduce waste at the same time. For example, a jacket that no longer fits your older sibling can become a treasure for someone else. Giving an old item to a new owner is like giving a toy a second life. ③ Therefore, secondhand trading, which requires little effort, protects both your wallet and the environment. ④ Small choices like this can make a big difference for our planet. ⑤

That simple shift in attitude, from comparison to curiosity, was what finally allowed me to enjoy the exhibition. Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. ( ① ) For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. ( ② ) My art teacher noticed my hesitation and said something I did not expect: an exhibition is not a contest to find the single best picture, but a chance to show how differently people see the same world. ( ③ ) On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to messy, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. ( ④ ) Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself curious about why each artist had made certain choices. ( ⑤ ) Standing in that crowded hallway, I finally understood that the exhibition's real purpose was not to rank the paintings, but to let students discover how many different perspectives could exist in a single shared space.
