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.

The Greenfield Public Library will offer a variety of special programs for students during summer vacation. The reading club encourages children to read at least one book per week and ①hide their thoughts from others. The writing workshop helps older students ②improve their essay skills. All programs are free, but registration is required in advance because space is ③limited. Interested students should sign up at the front desk or through the library's website. Materials such as notebooks and pencils will be provided for ④every session, so students can make the most of their ⑤vacation.

Imagine rewriting a bacterium's code the way a programmer edits a line of software, and much of what synthetic biology ①promises begins to make sense. Researchers in this field assemble standardized genetic parts into circuits that can be inserted into a cell, instructing it to perform a task that no natural organism would ②carry out. Because these circuits are built from interchangeable parts rather than designed from scratch each time, a circuit tested in one lab can often be reused, with ③minor adjustments, in an entirely different application. Critics note that biological systems ④always behave as predictably as electronic circuits, since a gene inserted into a new cell can interact with existing pathways in unexpected ways, occasionally producing results no engineer intended. Even so, as the catalog of standardized parts keeps expanding, engineers are gaining ⑤confidence to design increasingly complex systems.

Many students ①assume that perfectionists work harder than everyone else, but psychologists describe a puzzling pattern called the perfectionism-procrastination cycle. Because perfectionists set impossibly high standards, they often feel ②anxious before they even begin, and the task feels overwhelming. They then ③accelerate the work to avoid facing their own unrealistic expectations, even though delay only increases their stress later. Likewise, an employee facing an important report may check emails repeatedly rather than begin drafting, fearing an early attempt will seem ④inadequate. Ironically, this avoidance guarantees the very failure that perfectionists dread, since ⑤rushed, last-minute work rarely meets their own high standards.

Carbon neutrality refers to a state in which the amount of greenhouse gases a country or company releases into the atmosphere is balanced by the amount it removes, resulting in zero net emissions. Achieving this goal typically requires several sequential stages rather than a single sudden action. First, organizations attempt to reduce emissions directly by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power. Next, they improve efficiency throughout their operations, minimizing the energy wasted during production and transportation. Only after these direct measures have been maximized do most organizations turn to _______________. Critics argue, however, that some companies exploit offsetting too early, using it to avoid making genuine reductions. Therefore, experts insist that a credible roadmap must always prioritize actual emission cuts before relying on compensation.

Goffman's original theory focused on face-to-face interaction, but researchers have expanded it to explain behavior on social media. (A) Unlike face-to-face encounters, online platforms allow users unlimited time to edit captions, retouch photos, and delete unflattering content before anyone sees it. (B) This expanded control means that online impression management can be even more deliberate and polished than anything Goffman originally observed in daily conversation. (C) As a result, some scholars argue that today's online performances create unrealistic standards that traditional face-to-face interactions never produced.

Psychologists point to three main reasons why new year's resolutions often fail within a few days. (A) Second, many resolutions are unrealistic from the start, since people set goals that are far too difficult to reach in a short time. (B) First, willpower works like a muscle that becomes tired after being used too much, so people run out of self-control quickly. (C) Third, most resolutions do not offer any immediate reward, which makes it hard to stay motivated without seeing fast results.

Are you curious about capturing special moments around our school? The Photography Club is now looking for new members for this semester. (A) We meet every Wednesday afternoon in Room 204, right after regular classes end. No experience is required, since senior members always teach the basics of using a camera. (B) Each month, we choose a simple theme and take pictures together around the campus. At the end of the semester, we hold a small exhibition to share our favorite photos. (C) Members are also expected to bring their own camera or smartphone to every meeting. If you enjoy taking pictures or want to try something new, please visit our booth this Friday. Feel free to ask any current member if you have questions about joining.

주어진 문장: In short, Fogg's model reminds us that ease of action, not sheer willpower, drives lasting behavior change. Many people believe that building a new habit requires strong willpower or motivation. ( ① ) However, psychologist BJ Fogg argues that habits form more easily when a behavior itself becomes simple to perform. ( ② ) His theory, called the Fogg Behavior Model, states that a behavior happens only when motivation, ability, and a prompt occur together. When motivation is low, the task must be made extremely easy, or it will not happen at all. ( ③ ) For instance, a person who wants to exercise daily succeeds more often by committing to one push-up than to a long workout. Fogg calls this idea the law of least effort, since people naturally choose the option requiring the least energy. ( ④ ) A student who wants to read more might leave a book open on the desk rather than setting a vague goal. By lowering the required effort, people reduce the ability barrier and make steady action far more achievable. ( ⑤ )

주어진 문장: Please make sure to write your goal clearly, since it will be shown to other students. Attention, all students! Our school is starting a New Year Goal-Setting Campaign to help everyone begin the year with clear direction. ( ① ) During the first week of January, every student will receive a small goal card in homeroom class. ( ② ) On this card, write one personal goal for the new year, along with two simple steps you plan to take to achieve it. ( ③ ) After completing your card, submit it to your homeroom teacher by January 9th. ( ④ ) All goal cards will then be displayed on the bulletin board outside the library, so students can read and encourage one another. ( ⑤ ) In February, students who show clear progress toward their goals will receive a small prize during the morning assembly.
