The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs ①for students during summer vacation. The reading club, ②designed for younger students, encourages children to read at least one book per week. The writing workshop helps older students ③improve their essay skills through fun and creative exercises. In addition, the library will host a special lecture series on careers, ④invited professionals from various fields to speak with students. All programs are free, but registration ⑤is required in advance because space is limited.

For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents ①occur within a few blocks of the school gate. Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, ②assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly. This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian ③drop sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, ④repeated daily, do more to prevent injury than any single safety campaign ever ⑤could.

Last month, our class began practicing for the school choir contest, but rehearsals quickly turned ①tense. Minji, who had the loudest voice, kept correcting other members in the middle of songs. Several students felt ②hurt and began skipping practice, saying it felt more like criticism than teamwork. Our music teacher noticed the empty seats and asked what was happening. Minji explained that she only wanted the group to sound perfect. However, Junho said her tone made people afraid to sing at all. After an ③awkward silence, Minji admitted she had never noticed how her words affected others. So the class tried something new: each member shared one compliment before rehearsal began. Slowly, the tension ④faded and attendance returned to normal. On the day of the contest, the choir sang together with real ⑤doubt and earned second place.

Walking through the old industrial district downtown, I noticed that a gray concrete wall had been transformed overnight into a wild swirl of color, letters, and cartoon figures. Some residents complained to the city office, calling it ①vandalism and demanding that workers paint over it immediately. Others argued that the same wall had been an ugly, ②forgotten eyesore for years, and that the graffiti artist had simply given it a voice no one else bothered to give it. This disagreement reveals a ③tension at the heart of street art: without permission, even a skillful and thoughtful piece can be labeled a crime, yet many cities now invite graffiti artists to paint designated walls legally, hoping to ④channel that same creative energy into something the whole neighborhood can enjoy. The line between vandalism and art, it seems, often depends less on the paint itself than on who ⑤forbade permission to use the wall.

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. Food storage is another area where casual habits create danger: leaving snacks inside a tent can attract wildlife looking for food. Experienced campers also stress the importance of checking a weather forecast before leaving, since _______________. None of these precautions demand special equipment or skill; they simply require campers to treat the outdoors with the same caution they would show in any unfamiliar environment.

Last summer, our neighborhood association invited students to help paint a mural on the long wall beside the community center, and nearly forty volunteers with completely different painting abilities showed up on the first day. I worried that combining so many different skill levels would create an ugly, mismatched result, since some volunteers had painted for years while others, including me, had never held a large brush before. The project leader solved this by _______________. Beginners filled in wide open skies, while experienced painters added fine details like veins on leaves or shadows under birds. When the plastic sheets finally came down, the mural looked remarkably unified, not despite the many different hands involved, but because each hand had been given a task suited to what it could do well.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. Watching her work, I realized the app handled much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. What the app could not do, however, was _______________. She spent nearly an hour adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, deleting and replaying it dozens of times. Watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools lower the technical barrier to making music, but they do not remove the very human task of deciding what a piece of music is actually trying to say.

Water looks endless when it flows from the tap every morning. However, clean water is actually a limited resource that we must protect carefully. Many families waste water without even noticing it in their daily routine. For example, leaving the tap running while brushing your teeth can waste several liters of water. In contrast, turning off the tap during that time saves a surprising amount of water each day. Taking a shorter shower is another easy habit that reduces water use significantly. Fixing a leaking faucet, which many people ignore, can also save hundreds of liters every month. Saving water is like keeping money in a savings account for the future. Therefore, small changes in our daily habits, practiced by every family, can protect this precious resource. _______________.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. (A) 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. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself curious about why each artist had made certain choices. (B) 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. (C) For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. 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.

Around elementary schools, bright yellow signs mark what is known as a school zone, an area where drivers are required to slow down to reduce the risk of striking a child who might dart into the street without warning. (A) A car traveling even ten kilometers per hour slower gives a driver several extra seconds to brake, often the exact difference between a frightening near miss and a tragedy. (B) Some drivers complain that the reduced speed limit wastes their time, especially when no children happen to be visible at that moment. (C) This complaint misses an important fact about how children behave near traffic: young students often lack the judgment to predict how far a car will travel before it can stop.
