Every October, Greenfield High School holds a festival that ①gives every club a chance to shine. This year's festival will take place on October 15th, ②ran from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. Clubs ③that want to run a booth must apply to the student council by October 1st, since space in the gym is limited. The science club will present simple experiments ④that are both safe and exciting to watch. The art club, meanwhile, will display paintings that members have created throughout the semester. The cooking club plans ⑤to sell snacks prepared by its own members, and all the profits will be donated to a local shelter. Because many visitors are expected, teachers will supervise each booth carefully to keep students safe. Anyone curious about club life is warmly encouraged to visit and enjoy the festival.

Last New Year's Day, I wrote three goals in my diary: reading more books, exercising regularly, and saving money for a bicycle. Today, exactly one year later, I opened that old page and smiled at how much ①has changed. I did not finish all twelve books I had planned, but I read six, ②which was still more than the year before. Saving money was harder than I expected, since unexpected expenses ③kept appearing. My exercise habit became the biggest surprise, and I now run almost every morning without ④feeling forced. Looking back, I realized that progress does not always match the original plan, and what matters more is that I kept trying, adjusted my methods, and ⑤to learn something new about myself along the way.

Our school's book club, Page Turners, meets every Wednesday to discuss a book the members ①chose. At the start of each month, students suggest titles and vote to pick one. This way, everyone feels some ownership over what the club reads next. Before each meeting, members read several chapters and ②prepare a few questions. During the meeting, the leader opens discussion by ③asking a question about the story's main idea. Then members take turns ④sharing their opinions, even when they disagree with each other. For example, students once argued for a long time about a character's difficult choice. Such debates, though sometimes loud, help members understand different points of view. At the end of the semester, the club holds an event ⑤recommending favorite books.

Many people believe that building a new habit requires strong willpower or motivation. However, psychologist BJ Fogg argues that habits form more ①easily when a behavior itself becomes simple to perform. His theory, called the Fogg Behavior Model, states that a behavior happens only when motivation, ability, and a prompt occur together. When motivation is ②low, the model suggests, the task must be made extremely ③difficult, or it will not happen at all. 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 ④least effort, since people naturally choose the option requiring the least energy. 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 ⑤achievable.

A navigation app calculating a route rarely relies on distance alone; instead, it constantly weighs real-time traffic reports, past congestion patterns for that time of day, and even data from other drivers' phones currently on the road. This flood of information allows the app to ①reroute a driver away from a sudden accident within seconds, often before the driver has any idea the accident occurred at all. The convenience comes at a ②cost that few passengers consider, however. When thousands of drivers are simultaneously redirected onto the same shortcut, that quiet side street can quickly become as ③congested as the highway it was meant to help travelers avoid. Residents of these once-quiet neighborhoods have increasingly ④complained about the sudden surge of unfamiliar traffic, arguing that an algorithm optimizing for individual convenience can end up ⑤solving a new, entirely different problem for the wider community.

Many students set a New Year goal to build a new habit. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still feels ①easy. Researchers found that, on average, a new habit takes about sixty-six days to feel automatic. During the first few weeks, your brain still treats the activity as something ②new, so you must rely on willpower. Around the middle of this period, the behavior becomes ③easier because your brain starts to expect it at a certain time each day. By the end, you no longer need to force yourself, since the action feels ④natural and comfortable. This is why experts suggest repeating a small action every day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance ⑤right away.

This goal-tracking app helps you set New Year goals and build healthy habits step by step. First, open the app and create an account using your email address. Next, tap the plus button to add a new goal, and choose how often you want to practice it. The app will then send a gentle reminder at the time you select each day, and record your streak automatically whenever you complete a task. If you miss a day, the app allows you to add a short note explaining what happened, because ___________.

Turning off lights when you leave a room seems like a tiny action, but _______________. Every light left 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 to charge dozens of phones. This habit is similar to leaving a faucet running while you brush your teeth, where water flows out for no reason. Both actions seem harmless in the moment, but they add up to a serious waste over time. Some students argue that a single light does not make much difference. However, when an entire school forms this habit together, the total amount of saved energy becomes significant. Therefore, this small daily habit can create a surprisingly large positive effect for the whole planet.

Good morning, residents of Green Apartment! We would like to introduce a simple way to protect our environment. Used batteries, which contain harmful chemicals, should never be thrown away with regular trash. If these chemicals leak into the soil, they can pollute water and harm plants. Therefore, _______________. Please place your old batteries inside this box instead of the trash can. The box, which is emptied every month, is easy for anyone to use. For example, small button batteries from watches and toys can also be dropped in the box. However, batteries that are still working should not be thrown away at all. We appreciate your effort to keep our neighborhood clean and safe. Thank you for your cooperation and kindness.

The SMART method breaks a goal into five simple parts that make it easier to reach. (A) Next, make sure your goal is measurable, so you can track your progress with clear numbers. (B) Finally, add a deadline to your goal, since a time-bound goal pushes you to take action instead of waiting. (C) First, make your goal specific by describing exactly what you want to do rather than using vague words.
