On Saturday afternoons, the small square near my house fills with the sound of a street guitarist who ①sets up his amplifier beside the fountain. At first, I assumed busking was simply a way for musicians to earn a little pocket money, but watching him more closely ②changed my mind. He does not merely play requests; he studies the mood of the crowd and adjusts his set list on the spot, ③slows down for a tired evening walker or speeding up when children start dancing nearby. Unlike a concert hall performance, a street show has no fixed stage and no guaranteed audience, so the musician must win people's attention within the first few seconds or ④lose them to their phones. This constant negotiation between performer and passerby, I realized, is itself a kind of art, one that depends as much on reading people as it does on ⑤playing an instrument.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready to talk about a book they have all just ①finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together changes the experience ②completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and ③frequently questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance pushes them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. What began as a simple reading habit has slowly grown into one of the most meaningful ④friendships of their week, according to ⑤many members.

For most of the twentieth century, a library was simply a quiet room full of books, and visitors were expected to stay ①silent while they searched the shelves. Today, many public libraries look completely ②similar. 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 did not happen by ③accident. As more information moved online, fewer people needed a library simply to find facts, so librarians began asking what their communities actually needed instead. The answer, in many neighborhoods, turned out to be space itself: a warm, ④free place where students could study together, job seekers could print a resume, and children could attend a story hour. Some critics worry that libraries are drifting away from their original mission of preserving books, but librarians respond that a library survives only by ⑤changing with its readers.

Every July, our school library launches a summer reading challenge that invites students to read at least five books before classes begin again in September. Students who complete the challenge receive a small prize, but many say the real reward is something else entirely. Without daily homework and tests to worry about, summer gives students rare freedom to choose books purely because they sound interesting, not because a teacher assigned them. Librarians believe that _______________, since students who only cared about winning the prize tend to quit once the reading feels difficult, while curious readers keep going.

Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-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 different 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 give 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 enjoyed. In the end, _______________.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know what these marks mean. Each symbol _______________. For instance, the number one usually stands for clear plastic bottles, while the number five represents thicker containers like yogurt cups. Reading these marks is similar to reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Without checking the label, you might buy something unhealthy by mistake. Likewise, throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must be sorted separately. Therefore, taking a few seconds to check the mark before throwing something away makes recycling far more effective for everyone involved.

Physical education class often feels like the one period of the day when students can finally move freely, which sometimes leads them to skip the warm-up routine that teachers insist on before any real activity begins. (A) Beyond warming up, wearing proper footwear matters more than most students realize; running in worn-out sneakers with little grip left on the sole significantly raises the chance of a twisted ankle. (B) Coaches often compare an unwarmed muscle to a cold rubber band that snaps rather than stretches under sudden pressure. (C) Cold muscles, however, are noticeably less flexible than warmed ones, and stretching a stiff hamstring or ankle too quickly can cause a strain that keeps a student off the field for weeks.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. (A) Each participant will plant three young trees, guided by experienced forest rangers throughout the morning. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. (B) 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. (C) In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

주어진 문장: For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. ① If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. ② Therefore, our building has installed a special collection box for used batteries near the main entrance. ③ Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. ④ The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. ⑤ However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

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
