A growing number of teenagers are ①joining book clubs that exist only on their phones. These apps let users ②tracking how many pages they read each day, write short reviews, and join group chats about a chosen book. Some students say the apps make reading feel less lonely, because they can share their honest reactions the moment they ③finish a chapter instead of waiting for a weekly meeting. The apps also use gentle reminders and reading streaks to keep members motivated, ④turning a private habit into a small social game. However, a few teachers worry that constant notifications from a reading app can ⑤pull attention away from the book itself, since users may spend more time chatting about the story than actually reading it.

As technology ①developing rapidly, many new jobs are appearing that did not exist a decade ago. Data analysts, for example, help companies make decisions ②based on huge amounts of information. Renewable energy technicians, ③who install and repair solar panels and wind turbines, are meeting the growing demand for clean power. Healthcare is expanding beyond hospitals, creating roles for specialists ④designing digital health tools for elderly patients. Experts predict that future workers will need ⑤to keep learning new skills throughout their careers.

My cousin, who has never taken a single music lesson, recently used a composing app on her phone to write a short song for her friend's birthday video. Watching her work, I realized the app ①worsened much of the technical difficulty that used to stop beginners from composing at all, automatically keeping her melody in key and suggesting chords that matched the mood she selected. What the app could not do, however, was decide which four notes actually felt right for the opening line, or when a ②pause said more than another note would have. She spent nearly an hour ③adjusting a single short phrase until it matched the feeling she wanted to capture, deleting and replaying it dozens of times. Watching her patient trial and error, I understood that these tools ④lower the technical barrier to making music, but they do not remove the very human task of deciding what a piece of music is actually trying to ⑤say.

Every summer, lifeguards repeat the same warnings to swimmers, yet drowning remains one of the most common causes of accidental death among teenagers. Part of the problem is that danger in water rarely looks ①dramatic; a swimmer struggling to stay afloat often makes little noise and shows no obvious signs of panic, which means bystanders may not realize help is needed until it is too late. Rip currents present a particularly ②deceptive threat, since the water's surface can appear calm even while a powerful current pulls a swimmer steadily away from shore. Experts advise that anyone caught in such a current should swim parallel to the beach rather than struggling directly against it, since fighting the current head-on quickly ③strengthens even a strong swimmer. Simple habits, such as swimming near a lifeguard station and never entering the water alone, dramatically ④lower the risk of a minor mistake turning into a fatal ⑤one.

The student council reminds all club members about the rules for using the club activity room. First, every club must sign up for a time slot on the reservation sheet. Members should arrive on time and leave the room within ten minutes after their activity ends. Because several clubs share the same space, food and drinks are not ①allowed inside the room. Members must also return chairs and tables to their ②original positions before leaving. If equipment is ③broken or missing, the club leader should report it to the teacher. Clubs that ④follow these rules may lose their reservation for the following month. Please also remember to turn off the lights and lock the door carefully. These simple habits will keep the room ⑤clean and available for everyone.

Good afternoon, everyone! Our town invites students to join a special tree-planting volunteer day next month. This event aims to restore a small forest damaged by last year's fire near the river. Volunteers will meet at the community center at nine in the morning and travel together by bus. Please wear old clothes and shoes that you do not mind getting dirty during the activity. _______________. For example, rangers will show volunteers how to dig proper holes without harming the tree roots. In contrast, planting too shallowly often causes young trees to die within a few months. Therefore, careful instructions must be followed closely by every volunteer. Water and snacks, prepared by the town office, will be provided for free. Students interested in joining should register online before next Wednesday.

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.

Jihun's new year resolution to study English two hours a day did not go as planned. (A) He studied exactly as planned for the first three days, but on the fourth day, he skipped his study time because he felt too exhausted. (B) Following her advice, Jihun changed his plan to studying English for only twenty minutes each night, and this small change made a big difference. (C) After his resolution completely disappeared within a week, Jihun talked to his older sister, who suggested trying a smaller, more realistic goal.

The Riverside Summer Festival returns this year with exciting programs for the whole community. (A) In the evening, visitors can enjoy live music performances and a spectacular fireworks show. (B) During the day, local farmers and small businesses will sell fresh fruits, snacks, and handmade crafts. (C) Since parking near the park is limited, visitors are encouraged to use public transportation.

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.
