During exam season last year, our school counselor introduced a weekly drop-in session where students could paint freely for thirty minutes without any instructions or grading. I attended mostly out of ①curiosity, expecting a relaxing but ultimately pointless activity, since I have never considered myself artistically talented. To my surprise, filling a blank page with color, without worrying whether the result looked good, left me noticeably ②calmer than scrolling through my phone during the same amount of free time. The counselor explained that art therapy does not aim to produce impressive paintings; it simply gives people a way to express feelings that are difficult to put into words, especially ③frustration or anxiety that builds up silently during a stressful week. Several classmates who initially came only to avoid studying kept ④returning on their own afterward. None of us left with a masterpiece, but many of us left the room feeling noticeably ⑤heavier than when we had walked in.

Students often groan when a classic novel appears on their reading list, complaining that the language feels old-fashioned and the plot moves too ①slowly. It is true that classic literature can be ②easier to read than a modern bestseller written in casual, everyday language. Yet this very difficulty is part of why classics remain valuable for young readers today. Working through unfamiliar sentence patterns and vocabulary trains the brain to handle ③complex texts, a skill that transfers directly to other subjects and to standardized tests. Beyond language training, classic novels also explore themes such as jealousy, ambition, and loss that have not changed much across ④centuries. Readers often discover that a character written hundreds of years ago struggles with feelings that still feel ⑤familiar today.

Last spring, I joined a one-day job experience program at a local hospital. At first, I was ①nervous about talking to real patients. However, after helping an elderly patient find her room, I felt ②proud and relaxed. The busiest moment came when several patients needed attention at once, and the nurses worked together ③calmly. I realized that teamwork matters as much as medical knowledge, and my interest in nursing had grown even ④stronger. This short experience taught me ⑤less about the job than any book could.

The Hillside Community Center is looking for student volunteers to help with its summer programs. ___________. This opportunity is open to all middle and high school students who can commit at least four hours per week during July and August, and no prior experience is necessary since training will be provided.

Science labs feel far safer than they actually are, largely because the equipment looks harmless and the experiments are carefully planned by a teacher. (A) This false sense of security leads some students to skip small precautions, such as wearing safety goggles for a "simple" experiment or tasting a substance out of curiosity. (B) Chemical reactions, however, do not distinguish between a professional laboratory and a classroom; a small amount of the wrong substance splashed into an eye can cause permanent damage within seconds. (C) Teachers repeatedly emphasize reading each instruction before touching any material, since even a familiar-looking chemical can behave unpredictably when combined with something new.

This is especially true because surprising or emotional claims get shared more quickly than careful, balanced reporting. A shocking headline can spread across social media within minutes, long before anyone checks whether it is actually true. ( ① ) Studies show that false stories often travel faster than accurate ones. ( ② ) To handle this flood of information, students today need a skill that previous generations rarely had to practice: checking a source before believing it. ( ③ ) Simple habits can make a real difference, such as looking for the original source of a claim, checking the date an article was published, and searching to see whether other trustworthy outlets are reporting the same story. ( ④ ) Media literacy classes now teach students to pause before they share anything, asking who wrote it and why. ( ⑤ ) This small pause, teachers say, is often the only thing standing between a curious reader and a piece of convincing misinformation.

Ironically, it is often the shortest and most familiar stretch of the route that proves the most dangerous. For many students, the walk to school feels so routine that safety becomes an afterthought, yet a surprising number of accidents occur within a few blocks of the school gate. ( ① ) Part of the danger comes from convenience: students often cut across a busy street rather than walking the extra minute to the nearest crosswalk, assuming they can judge the traffic gap correctly. ( ② ) This shortcut becomes especially risky during the darker months, when a driver's ability to spot a pedestrian drops sharply well before sunrise or after sunset. ( ③ ) Wearing dark clothing during these hours can make a student almost invisible until a car is dangerously close. ( ④ ) Simple choices, such as using a marked crosswalk, waiting for the pedestrian signal, and adding something reflective to a backpack, cost only a few extra seconds each morning. ( ⑤ ) Traffic safety officials argue that these small habits, repeated daily, do more to prevent injury than any single safety campaign ever could.

주어진 문장: Still, reading six books was better than the year before, and I felt proud of that small progress. Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. ( ① ) Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much had changed. ( ② ) I did not finish all twelve books I had planned to read. ( ③ ) My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, since jogging twice a week slowly became an almost daily morning habit. ( ④ ) Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses kept appearing. ( ⑤ ) Looking back, I realized that steady effort matters more than reaching every goal exactly as planned.

This is because the sun's rays are strongest during these hours, even on cloudy days. Strong summer sunlight can seriously damage your skin if you are not careful. ( ① ) Ultraviolet rays can cause sunburn, wrinkles, and even skin cancer over time. ( ② ) To protect your skin, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and reapply it every two hours. ( ③ ) Wearing a hat and sunglasses also helps shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight. ( ④ ) In addition, try to stay in the shade between eleven in the morning and three in the afternoon. ( ⑤ ) After spending time outdoors, cool your skin with a damp towel and apply a moisturizer.

A stairway accident, in short, often takes far less time to happen than it does to prevent. Stairs seem too ordinary to be dangerous, which is why many people treat them carelessly, texting, carrying an armful of books, or skipping two steps at a time. ( ① ) Emergency room records tell a different story: falls on stairways send more people to the hospital each year than almost any other household accident, and many of these falls happen not on unfamiliar staircases but on ones climbed hundreds of times before. ( ② ) Familiarity encourages a kind of autopilot mode, in which a person stops looking at each step and instead relies on memory of where the stairs should be. ( ③ ) This habit fails the moment something unexpected occurs, such as a missing step or a loose railing. ( ④ ) Safety officials recommend a few unglamorous habits: keep one hand free, use the handrail, and turn on the light before stepping onto a dark staircase. ( ⑤ )
