Whenever people discuss the future of reading, one debate never ① seem to end: e-books or paper books? Supporters of e-books point out that a single device can hold thousands of titles, which ② makes traveling with a full library incredibly light. Readers can also change the font size, look up a word instantly, and carry their entire collection in one bag. Fans of paper books, however, argue that something important ③ is lost on a screen. Many readers say they remember a paper book's plot more clearly, perhaps because they recall where a scene ④ appeared on the page. Screens also invite distraction, since a single notification can pull a reader away from the story in seconds. Interestingly, several recent surveys suggest that most young readers do not choose one format forever. Instead, they switch between paper and digital depending on the situation, ⑤ treating the debate less as a contest and more as a matter of convenience.

Last spring, Mina joined the school environmental club because she wanted ①to make a difference. At first, she felt nervous about speaking in front of the other members. However, the club leader, ②which had been recycling for years, welcomed her warmly. Every Friday, the members walked around the school ③picking up trash near the playground. Mina soon realized that this weekly habit was like ④watering a small plant every day. For example, a single plastic bottle left outside could take hundreds of years to disappear. Therefore, the club decided to place clear recycling bins in every classroom. In contrast to her early doubts, Mina began to feel proud of the changes she noticed. Her classmates started separating cans and paper without ⑤being reminded by teachers. By the end of the semester, Mina had become an active member.

Every Wednesday evening, a small group meets in the corner of a quiet cafe, coffee cups in hand, ready ① to talk about a book they have all just finished. This is a book club, and its members insist that reading the same novel together ② changes the experience completely. Alone, a reader usually forms one interpretation and rarely questions it again. In a group, however, one member's small comment about a minor character can suddenly change how everyone else ③ understood the whole story. Members also say that having a discussion planned in advance ④ push them to finish books they might otherwise put down halfway through. Perhaps the greatest benefit is social rather than literary: strangers from very different backgrounds discover that they share the same doubts, laughter, and surprises ⑤ over the very same pages.

Every spring, our school holds an art exhibition in the main hallway, and this year I finally submitted a painting of my own. For weeks, I compared my work to my classmates' drawings and felt ① sure that mine was not good enough to hang beside theirs. My art teacher noticed my ② 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. On the morning the paintings went up, I walked past dozens of styles, from careful realistic portraits to ③ boring, colorful abstractions, and none of them looked like mine. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I found myself ④ curious about why each artist had made certain choices. 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 ⑤ shared space.

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

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.

One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown ①shorter over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. However, his older sister reminded him that ②clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. For example, a jacket he had ③outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt ④neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt ⑤genuinely happy about his choice.

At first, Minji did not know how to fix the tension she had caused during rehearsals. (A) Soon, other members began doing the same, and rehearsals felt warmer than before. (B) She decided to start each practice by praising one small thing a classmate had done well. (C) The next day, she tried her new idea, and the room grew quiet as everyone listened.

As a result, many reluctant readers finish an entire graphic novel and then move on to longer books with new confidence. For many years, comic books and graphic novels were seen as a lazy alternative to real reading. ( ① ) Parents and teachers often worried that pictures did the work that words should do, leaving young readers with weaker vocabulary and imagination. ( ② ) Recent research, however, tells a more complicated story. Graphic novels actually require readers to combine written text with visual clues, inferring emotion from a character's expression or understanding time gaps between panels. ( ③ ) This combination can build a different but equally valuable set of reading skills. ( ④ ) Teachers who once banned comics from their classrooms are now using them to reach students who struggled with traditional novels. ( ⑤ ) Rather than replacing traditional reading, graphic novels appear to work best as a bridge that leads students toward it.
