John Rawls proposed an unusual thought experiment ①to determine what principles of justice a society ought to adopt. Imagine a group of rational people gathered to design the basic rules of their future society, but ②placed behind what he called a veil of ignorance, a condition under which none of them knows their own race, gender, wealth, talents, or social position in advance. Since no one can predict whether they will be born into privilege or poverty, each person ③has a strong incentive to choose rules that protect the worst-off members of society. Rawls argued that rational people placed in this position would not gamble on inequality; instead, they would favor arrangements that guarantee basic liberties for everyone and ④permitting unequal outcomes only when those outcomes actually benefit the least advantaged. Justice, on this view, is what impartial reasoning ⑤produces once self-interest is stripped away.

Last spring, Minji joined a new club at her school called the Green Runners. Every Saturday morning, the members jog around the neighborhood park while picking up trash. This activity, called plogging, combines jogging with cleaning up litter from the streets. At first, Minji felt ①embarrassed to pick up garbage in front of other people. However, she soon realized that her small actions were making the park ②cleaner and healthier. For example, the group collected more than twenty bags of trash during their first month together. Picking up litter while running is like turning an ordinary workout into a meaningful mission. Minji's legs grew ③tired, but her heart felt ④proud after every session. Now, she encourages her friends, who used to tease her, to join the club as well. Minji believes that small habits, practiced together, can ⑤destroy a whole community.

Blockchain technology was originally promoted as a way to remove the need for trusted middlemen, allowing strangers to exchange value directly and verify transactions through a shared, ①tamper-resistant ledger rather than through a bank or government agency. In theory, this design distributes power away from any single institution and toward the network as a whole. In practice, however, a small number of large players have come to ②dominate many blockchain networks, controlling enough computing power or currency to influence outcomes that were supposed to be decided collectively. Critics note a further irony: when something goes wrong, such as a hacked exchange or a lost password, there is often ③ample institutional support to appeal to, since the entire system was designed precisely to eliminate that kind of central authority. Whether decentralization can ④survive this concentration of power remains one of the technology's most ⑤unresolved questions.

Sorting your trash correctly is _______________. When you separate paper, plastic, glass, and cans, recycling centers can process each material more efficiently. For example, plastic bottles should be rinsed and have their caps removed before being thrown away. Paper soaked with food or oil, however, cannot be recycled and must go into general waste. Sorting garbage is similar to organizing a closet, where each type of clothing has its own shelf. If items are mixed together carelessly, finding what you need later becomes difficult. Likewise, mixing recyclables with ordinary trash makes the whole recycling process complicated. Many students believe that sorting trash takes too much time, but it actually requires only a few extra seconds. Therefore, learning these basic rules now helps you build a habit that benefits your entire community.

Job seekers often assume that their closest friends will be the most helpful source of career advice. (A) In fact, studies show that a surprising number of job offers come through acquaintances met only briefly at conferences or previous workplaces. (B) However, close friends usually work in the same field or social circle, so their knowledge of new openings tends to overlap with what the job seeker already knows. (C) This is because such acquaintances belong to different professional circles, giving them access to information that never reaches close friends.

Choosing the right club can shape how a student feels about school life. Many first-graders join a club simply because their friends are joining it. (A) It also helps to think about how much time each club actually requires. Some clubs meet only once a week, while others practice almost every day. (B) However, experts suggest that personal interest should always come before friendship. A club that matches your interest keeps you motivated during a busy exam period. (C) Skill level matters too, since a few clubs accept only experienced students. For this reason, most schools allow a short trial period before a final decision. During this period, new members can attend meetings without officially signing up. In the end, a good club should feel like a comfortable break from academic pressure.

Dear members of the Debate Club, I am writing to let you know that our regular meeting time has been changed. (A) Please bring the debate topic that you prepared last week, since we will practice our arguments together. If you cannot attend the new meeting time, please reply to this email by Tuesday evening. (B) We usually meet in Room 304 every Wednesday after school, but the room will be used for sports day practice next week. Instead, our meeting will be held in the library on Thursday at the same time. (C) We also need two volunteers to arrange the chairs and tables before the meeting begins. Mr. Park, our club advisor, will join us this time to give feedback on our speaking skills. Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday.

Jimin joined the school band club in March, but she had never performed before an audience. The club's first concert was only two weeks away, and everyone felt nervous. (A) Instead of laughing at her mistakes, however, the other members waited patiently and played the section again with her. The drummer, Suho, suggested that she focus on just one part at a time, and slowly her fingers grew more confident. (B) As a result, the club practiced until the melody sounded smooth the night before the concert. When Jimin finally walked onto the stage, she thought of her friends' patience instead of her fear, and the audience's warm applause proved that their support had made the difference. (C) During practice, her hands shook whenever the song reached the chorus, and she kept missing the same chord.
