Attention all club leaders: applications for the club budget are now ①closed. If your club wants support for materials, events, or competitions, please follow the steps below. First, download the budget request form from the school website and fill in your club's name, purpose, and requested amount. Second, attach a short plan explaining how the money will be used, since forms without a clear plan will not be reviewed. Third, submit the ②completed form to the teacher in charge of student activities by August 14th. Applications received after the deadline will not be ③accepted. Once submitted, each request will be reviewed by the budget committee, which meets every Friday. ④Approved clubs will receive their funds within two weeks, and results will be posted on the club bulletin board. Please contact Mr. Han in the activities office if you have any ⑤questions.

Students who read many books across many different subjects often develop a habit that quieter learners sometimes ① lack: the habit of comparing new information with what they already know. A student who has read about ancient wars, ocean ecosystems, and modern economics can more easily ② notice when two different subjects share a similar pattern. This kind of connection-making is closely related to what psychologists call critical thinking, since seeing a familiar pattern in an unfamiliar topic allows a person to ask ③ sharper questions instead of accepting new information at face value. Extensive reading also builds a large mental library of examples, which makes it ④ harder to evaluate whether a new claim sounds reasonable or exaggerated. Teachers often notice that widely read students argue more carefully, supporting their opinions with ⑤ specific examples rather than vague generalizations.

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. Cold muscles, however, are noticeably less flexible than warmed ones, and _______________. Coaches often compare an unwarmed muscle to a cold rubber band that snaps rather than stretches under sudden pressure.

Riding a bicycle is one of the most popular ways for teenagers to get around, yet many students still skip the one piece of equipment that could save their life: the helmet. Some argue that a short trip to a nearby store does not require any special protection, since the risk of a serious accident feels distant and unlikely. However, _______________. A sudden pothole, a car door opening without warning, or a patch of gravel can throw even an experienced cyclist off balance in an instant. Wearing a helmet does not prevent a fall, but it dramatically reduces the chance of a serious head injury when one occurs.

Starting a business as a teenager comes with both benefits and difficulties. (A) On the other hand, many young entrepreneurs lack enough money or experience to grow their business quickly. (B) Because of this balance, more schools are now offering entrepreneurship clubs to support young business owners. (C) On the positive side, running even a small business teaches skills like budgeting and marketing.

Pets need extra care and attention when the summer heat becomes intense. (A) It is also important to avoid walking your dog during the hottest hours, since hot pavement can burn its paws. (B) First, always provide plenty of fresh, cool water throughout the day. (C) Most importantly, never leave a pet alone in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

When an image-generating program produced a strikingly detailed painting in the exact style of a well-known illustrator within seconds, my art club spent an entire meeting arguing about what it actually meant for artists. (A) Others worried that the program had been trained on thousands of real illustrations scraped from the internet without the original artists' permission, meaning the tool's impressive results were quietly built on other people's uncredited labor. (B) Some members felt excited, imagining the software as a helpful tool that could speed up brainstorming or generate quick backgrounds for their comics. (C) A few pointed out that the final image, however skillful it looked, reflected no personal memory, struggle, or intention, only patterns learned from existing pictures, and the debate never reached a clear conclusion.

This built-in urgency, in other words, is precisely what the system is designed to preserve, not an inconvenience to be silenced away. A loud, jarring alert sound interrupting a phone's normal notifications usually means one thing: a government agency has issued an emergency text to everyone in a specific area, warning of anything from a flash flood to a missing child. ( ① ) These messages are designed to reach people instantly, without requiring anyone to download an app or subscribe to a service in advance, since a disaster rarely waits for someone to prepare. ( ② ) Some residents complain that the alerts arrive too frequently or for events that feel minor, leading a small number of people to silence the notifications altogether. ( ③ ) Safety officials warn that this response defeats the entire purpose of the system, since a person who mutes every alert for convenience will also miss the one message that truly demands immediate action. ( ④ ) Unlike a weather app that must be checked voluntarily, an emergency alert pushes urgent information directly to a person's pocket, cutting through distraction in a way that no other communication method can consistently match. ( ⑤ )

In fact, choosing the right books for the right students takes far more thought than most people realize. Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. ( ① ) Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate. ( ② ) A large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy, based on both student requests and current trends in youth literature. ( ③ ) She also spends hours training students to search databases and judge whether an online source is trustworthy, a skill she considers just as important as reading itself. ( ④ ) According to Ms. Han, the most rewarding moment is not organizing shelves but watching a student who once avoided reading finally ask for a second book in the same series. ( ⑤ ) She admits that budgets are often tight and that new technology keeps changing how libraries operate. Still, she insists that the core purpose of her job has never changed: connecting each reader with the right book at the right time.

This makes it one of the most difficult winter hazards to prepare for in advance. When temperatures drop below freezing overnight, an invisible layer of black ice can form on sidewalks that look perfectly dry, catching even careful walkers off guard. ( ① ) Unlike a visibly icy patch, black ice reflects almost no light and blends into ordinary pavement, which is why so many falls happen on stretches that pedestrians would never suspect. ( ② ) Orthopedic doctors report a sharp rise in wrist and hip injuries every winter, most of them caused not by dramatic slips on icy hills but by a single unexpected step near a bus stop or a doorway. ( ③ ) Walking with shorter, flatter steps and keeping the hands free rather than in pockets can help a person regain balance quickly if a foot suddenly slides. ( ④ ) Choosing shoes with textured rubber soles rather than smooth ones also makes a difference, since even a small increase in grip can prevent a fall before it begins. ( ⑤ ) Treating every winter sidewalk as potentially icy, rather than trusting appearances, remains the simplest way to avoid injury.
