When I joined the school broadcasting club two years ago, I only ①wanted to spend time with friends who shared my interests. Gradually, however, the club ②became something much more meaningful. I learned how to write short scripts, operate basic cameras, and ③editing simple video clips for school events. Our club also produced a short documentary about a local market, ④which taught me how much planning goes into even a five-minute video. What began as a casual after-school activity ⑤ended up shaping a clear direction for my future career.

Psychologists have long wondered whether reading fiction can change how people treat others in real life. Several studies suggest that novels which describe a character's inner thoughts in detail can ① trains readers to imagine what other people are feeling, a skill closely related to empathy. When readers follow a character through difficult choices, they practice ② stepping into someone else's perspective without any real risk to themselves. This kind of mental practice, researchers argue, can carry over into everyday situations, making readers more likely ③ to notice a classmate's hidden sadness or understand a stranger's unusual behavior. Stories that stay focused only on fast action, with little attention to characters' inner lives, appear ④ to build empathy far less than stories that slow down to explore emotion. For this reason, some psychologists now recommend that young readers ⑤ balance fast-paced adventure novels with quieter stories about ordinary people and their feelings.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she ①had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord. Instead of laughing at her mistakes, the other members waited patiently and ②playing the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she ③focus on just one part at a time. Slowly, her fingers grew more confident, and the chord ④that once felt impossible began to feel natural. The club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear. The audience clapped warmly, and she realized ⑤her club's support had made the difference.

Setting a career plan early in high school offers several important ①benefits. First, having a general direction helps students choose subjects and activities that support their goals, instead of picking them ②randomly. Second, a plan gives students a sense of purpose, which can make schoolwork feel more meaningful. However, an effective career plan should remain ③rigid, since interests and circumstances often change during the teenage years. Career counselors therefore recommend reviewing a plan every few months and ④adjusting it based on new experiences. In this way, careful planning provides a clear yet adaptable path toward genuine personal growth and long-term ⑤satisfaction.

For our club's spring project, we were told to create a sculpture using only materials collected from the school's recycling bins, and my first reaction was disappointment at not being allowed to buy proper art supplies. Sorting through flattened cardboard, broken umbrella frames, and plastic bottle caps, I initially saw nothing but trash. My perspective shifted once a senior member showed me a piece she had built the previous year, a bird made entirely of bent bicycle spokes and bottle caps, each cap functioning as a single feather. She explained that _______________. By the end of the project, our team had built a small forest of figures using nothing that anyone had paid for, and the exhibit visitors seemed more curious about our materials than about any technique we had used.

Every day, people throw away piles of used paper without thinking about where it goes. However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and _______________. First, workers collect old newspapers, boxes, and notebooks left in recycling bins. These papers are then soaked in water and turned into soft, mushy pulp. You can think of this process like breaking a cookie back into flour and water. For example, ink and small pieces of plastic are removed from the pulp during this stage. The clean pulp is pressed into thin sheets and dried in large machines. Therefore, a wrinkled old newspaper can be reborn as clean white paper. In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.

More and more teenagers today dream of starting their own business someday. Some students design and sell handmade jewelry online, while others create simple mobile apps as a hobby. Starting a small business also teaches skills that traditional classes rarely offer, such as managing money, marketing a product, and handling customer complaints. However, young entrepreneurs face real challenges too, and mistakes can feel discouraging at first. Still, most teen entrepreneurs say that ___________. For this reason, schools are beginning to offer entrepreneurship clubs, giving students a safe space to test their business ideas.

Artificial intelligence is creating job titles that did not exist a decade ago. (A) AI ethics officers, for instance, check whether a company's technology treats users fairly. (B) These new roles clearly require more than just technical skill. (C) Prompt engineers, for example, design instructions that help AI programs produce accurate results.

This is because undercooked meat, fish, and eggs can carry harmful bacteria that cause illness. Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months, so make sure that meat, fish, and eggs are cooked thoroughly before eating. ( ① ) High temperatures allow bacteria to grow quickly in food that is not stored properly. ( ② ) To protect yourself, always wash your hands with soap before preparing food. ( ③ ) Keep perishable food in the refrigerator, and never leave it out at room temperature for more than two hours. ( ④ ) It is also wise to use separate cutting boards for raw meat and vegetables. ( ⑤ ) If you experience symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting, seek medical help promptly.

For this reason, it is best to plan ahead and pick your favorite show first. This year's Club Festival will be held in the school gym and nearby classrooms next Friday. ( ① ) Visitors should first pick up a program map at the entrance to find each club's booth. Art and photography clubs will show their work in Classroom 201. Dance and music clubs will perform on the gym stage. ( ② ) Performances start every thirty minutes, so guests should arrive five minutes early. ( ③ ) Because seating is limited, latecomers may need to stand at the back. ( ④ ) Visitors may take photos, but please turn off the camera flash during performances. Food will be sold outside the gym, but drinks cannot be brought into the exhibition rooms. ( ⑤ ) If you have questions, staff members wearing yellow vests will be glad to help. We hope everyone enjoys discovering what our clubs have worked on this semester.
