Every day, we leave behind marks of the gases ①that warm our planet, much like footprints left in wet sand. These marks, ②often called our carbon footprint, come from small choices such as driving, eating, and using electricity. Many students think that only large factories create these marks, but ordinary habits at home also matter greatly. For example, turning off lights ③when leaving a room reduces the energy that power plants must produce. Walking or biking to school instead of riding in a car also lowers the amount of gas ④releasing into the air. In contrast, leaving devices plugged in all night quietly increases our footprint without our notice. Therefore, students ⑤who practice these simple habits regularly can shrink their footprint significantly.

Every plastic product carries a small recycling mark, but few students know ①what these marks mean. Each symbol contains a number ②that shows what material the item is made of. Reading these marks is similar to ③reading nutrition labels on snacks, which tell you exactly what is inside. Likewise, ④throwing plastic away without checking its mark can send a reusable item straight to a landfill. Some marks even show that a material cannot be recycled at all, so it must ⑤sorted separately.

Every light ①left on in an empty room wastes electricity that could have powered something useful elsewhere. For example, a single classroom light left on overnight can waste enough energy ②to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to ③leave a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. However, when an entire school ④forms this habit together, the total amount of ⑤saved energy becomes significant.

On the first day of the club fair, the gym was filled with noise and color. Every table had a banner, and members called out to new first-graders like me. My friend Somin dragged me toward the robotics club, insisting it would suit me. However, the long list of coding projects looked too ① complicated for a beginner. Just then, I noticed a ② quiet table where students were sketching posters together. A calm senior named Jian explained that the art club ③ rejected complete beginners. She showed me a sketchbook filled with simple drawings by first-year members. Her gentle voice made me feel ④ relaxed for the first time that day. Without much thought, I wrote my name on the sign-up sheet before leaving. Walking out of the gym, I finally felt that I ⑤ belonged in this new school.

Yuna felt ①shocked because she realized her small daily habit was part of a ②larger problem. At first, carrying the tumbler felt ③inconvenient, and she often forgot to bring it to school. Within a month, using the tumbler had become as ④natural as brushing her teeth. Her friends ⑤ignored the change and asked where she had bought the tumbler.

Our photography club meets every Thursday, and our advisor always repeats the same instruction before we leave campus: _______________. At first this rule frustrated me, since I had joined the club specifically to take pictures, not to stand around empty-handed. Over time, though, I noticed that the members who followed her advice most closely tended to bring back the most interesting photographs. A camera, our advisor explained, cannot teach a person what is worth noticing; it can only record what the photographer has already decided matters. Learning to look carefully, it turns out, is a skill that develops long before a finger ever touches the shutter button.

Many students imagine a librarian simply sitting behind a desk and stamping books. (A) 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. (B) Ms. Han, who has worked at a school library for over ten years, says that image is far from accurate, since a large part of her job involves choosing which new books to buy. (C) 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.

Using this workbook correctly will help you turn your New Year goal into a real habit. (A) Next, break your goal into four smaller monthly steps and use the weekly checklist to track your progress. (B) If you ever fall behind, do not give up; simply revise your steps in pencil and keep moving forward. (C) First, write down one goal you truly want to achieve and explain why it matters to you.

주어진 문장: Once he missed a single day, he found it much easier to miss the next one as well. Jihun made a resolution to study English for two hours every day. ( ① ) For the first three days, he studied exactly as planned and felt proud of himself. ( ② ) On the fourth day, however, he skipped his study time because he was too exhausted. ( ③ ) Within a week, his resolution had disappeared completely. ( ④ ) Feeling disappointed, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested that he try a smaller, more realistic goal instead of a large one. ( ⑤ ) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small goal felt less overwhelming.

주어진 문장: In other words, the paper completely loses its original shape and becomes a soft, wet mixture. Every day, people throw away piles of used paper without thinking about where it goes. ① However, most of that paper does not have to end up in a landfill. Instead, it can travel to a recycling factory and become brand new paper again. ② 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. ③ 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. ④ 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. ⑤ In contrast to throwing paper away, recycling it saves trees and reduces waste.
