Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school ①called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members ②jogs around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, ③called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park cleaner and healthier. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew tired, but her heart felt proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, ④who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, ⑤practiced together, can change a whole community.

Three years ago, he was a ①shy sophomore who dreamed of becoming a science teacher but doubted his own grades. He wrote down this single goal in his notebook and read it every morning before class. Instead of studying everything at once, he ②focused on one weak subject each month and asked his teachers for extra help. There were many moments when he wanted to ③give up, especially before difficult exams. However, he kept reminding himself why he had started. Today, Minho is studying to become a science teacher at university, proving that steady effort truly ④pays off, and his story continues to ⑤discourage his junior students.

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.

Online courses have become a popular way for students to learn practical job skills outside of school. Unlike traditional classes, these courses let learners study at their own ①pace and repeat difficult lessons as many times as needed. However, taking an online course requires strong self-discipline, since no teacher checks whether students are ②keeping up. Experts recommend setting a fixed weekly schedule and finishing small assignments ③regularly instead of studying everything the night before a deadline. Choosing a course with clear reviews and a well-organized structure also matters, because poorly designed courses can ④save valuable time. With the right approach, online learning can give students a real ⑤head start in their future careers.

For instance, the number one usually stands for ①clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Without checking the label, you might buy something ②unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a ③disposable item straight to a landfill. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more ④effective for everyone ⑤involved.

Many teachers and parents worry that today's teenagers are ①gaining the ability to read long, complex texts. National test scores show a slow ②decline in reading comprehension over the past ten years, and some experts blame smartphones and short videos for shortening students' attention spans. Other researchers disagree with this simple explanation. They point out that teenagers today read constantly, just in different forms, such as text messages, captions, and online articles. According to this view, the real problem is not that students read less overall, but that they rarely practice reading long passages without any ③interruption. A team of researchers recently found that students who read at least one full book every month scored ④noticeably higher on comprehension tests than students who mainly read short online posts. This result suggests that the format of reading, rather than simple screen time, may be the more important factor behind the ⑤changing scores.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to ①restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig ②proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to ③die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed ④closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for ⑤costly.

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.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment, since used batteries contain harmful chemicals that should never be thrown away with regular trash. (A) If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants, so our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. (B) We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe, and thank you for your cooperation and kindness. (C) Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can, since the box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use.

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.
