Building a reading habit does not usually start with a big decision ① to read more. It often starts with very small, easy steps. Some students keep a book in their bag so that they always ② have something to read while waiting for a bus. Others choose a fixed time each day, like right before bed, and read for just ten minutes. These small routines work because they lower the effort ③ needed to begin. Once a student sits down and opens a book, ④ continuing to read the next page feels much easier than the first step of starting. Experts also suggest setting a very low daily goal, such as one page, instead of a strict page count that ⑤ feel like homework.

Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months, and high temperatures ①allowing bacteria to grow quickly in food that is not stored properly. Make sure that meat, fish, and eggs ②are cooked thoroughly, since undercooked food can carry harmful bacteria. Keep perishable food in the refrigerator, and never ③leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. It is also important ④to use separate cutting boards for raw meat and vegetables. If you experience symptoms such as stomach pain, ⑤seek medical attention promptly.

This goal-tracking app ①helping you set New Year goals and build healthy habits step by step. First, open the app and create an account ②using your email address. Next, tap the plus button ③to add a new goal, and choose how often you want to practice it. Every time you complete a task, tap the checkmark, and the app will record your streak automatically. You can also view a simple chart ④that shows your progress over the past month. If you miss a day, do not delete your streak, since the app allows you ⑤to add a short note explaining what happened.

When people fail to reach a goal, they often feel ①embarrassed and want to give up. However, the way a person thinks about failure can change what happens next. Some people believe failing means they simply lack ability, so they ②stop trying. Others see failure differently: they treat it as ③useless information that shows what needs to change. For example, a student who fails a math test might later ask the teacher which questions were weak points and study those areas more ④carefully. Over time, people who view failure as a lesson rather than a final judgment tend to keep working toward their goals, even after several ⑤setbacks.

Last January, Minji decided that she would run three kilometers every morning before school, but after a few cold mornings, she began oversleeping and soon stopped running altogether. By February, she felt disappointed and believed she simply lacked willpower. One evening, her older brother asked her why the plan had failed, and together they looked closely at her daily schedule. They realized that running before sunrise in freezing weather had been too difficult to maintain. So Minji changed her plan and decided to run after school instead, when the weather was warmer and she had more energy. This experience taught her that ___________.

Starting a new diary or planner in January is easy, but keeping it useful all year is harder. This guide offers simple tips for using a planner to manage your New Year goals: ___________. First, write one clear goal at the top of each month so you always remember your main target. Second, break that goal into small weekly tasks instead of writing vague plans. Third, check your planner every morning and mark tasks as done when you finish them, and review your notes every Sunday. Finally, do not worry if you skip a day, since staying consistent matters more than being perfect.

Technology has changed the way many jobs are performed today. (A) As a result, workers now need to keep learning new tools throughout their careers. (B) A graphic designer, for instance, must understand digital software that did not exist twenty years ago. (C) Machines and computer programs now handle tasks once done entirely by people.

My grandmother keeps a wooden cabinet filled with tiny furniture, each piece no larger than a fingernail, that she has been building for over a decade as a miniature hobby. (A) Talking with her while she worked, though, I learned that the real challenge lies in imagining an entire, believable world at a scale the eye can barely process. (B) She once spent three weekends carving a single tiny bookshelf, only to leave two of its shelves deliberately empty, explaining that a completely full room would look staged rather than lived-in. (C) When I first saw the cabinet, I assumed the appeal was simply how impressively small and precise the pieces looked.

Picture books are usually written for young children, but a growing number of adults are picking them up for themselves. (A) However, many picture books deal with serious themes, such as loss, fear, and change, using only a few carefully chosen words, and because the text is short, every sentence carries extra weight, so readers naturally slow down to notice small details in the pictures. (B) This slower pace can feel calming for adults who are used to rushing through long articles and constant notifications. A picture book can also be finished in a single sitting, which makes it easy to return to the same story again and again, so for these reasons, therapists and teachers sometimes recommend picture books to stressed adults as well. (C) At first glance, a picture book seems too simple for someone who has already learned to read long novels.

A book that is too easy, on the other hand, may feel boring and fail to hold a student's attention. Many schools give students a list of recommended books at the start of each year. ( ① ) Choosing these books is not as simple as picking well-known titles, because teachers must think about a wide range of student interests, not just their own favorites. ( ② ) Reading level matters too; a book that is too difficult can make a student give up on reading altogether. ( ③ ) 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. ( ④ ) Teachers often ask students for feedback after they finish a book, and they slowly update the list based on what students actually enjoyed. ( ⑤ ) In the end, the best recommended list is not fixed forever; it keeps changing to match the readers it is meant to serve.
