Summer brings a wide variety of delicious fruits, but many of them ①spoil quickly in the heat. Fruits such as watermelon and melon should be kept in the refrigerator once they ②are cut, since exposure to warm air speeds up spoiling. Berries are especially delicate and should not ③washing until just before eating, because moisture encourages mold to grow. Bananas turn black quickly in cold air, so they are best ④kept on the counter. Wrapping cut fruit tightly in plastic wrap also helps keep it ⑤fresh longer.

Many students set a New Year goal ①to build a new habit, such as reading every night or exercising each morning. However, most people give up within two weeks because the habit still ②feels difficult. Researchers ③who studied this process 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 new, so you must ④rely on willpower. This is why experts suggest ⑤repeat a small action every single day, rather than aiming for a perfect performance right away.

Food poisoning cases increase sharply during the hot summer months. High temperatures allow bacteria to grow ①quickly in food that is not stored properly. Always wash your hands with soap before preparing food, since this habit ②reduces the risk of infection. Make sure that meat and eggs are cooked ③thoroughly, since undercooked food can carry harmful bacteria. Keep perishable food ④cold in the refrigerator, rather than leaving it out at room temperature. If you experience symptoms such as stomach pain or vomiting, you should seek medical attention ⑤rarely.

Conventional industrial zones typically operate as isolated facilities, each purchasing raw materials independently and disposing of waste without regard for neighboring plants, even when one factory's discarded byproduct could serve as valuable input for another. (A) An eco-industrial park reorganizes this arrangement by clustering diverse companies within a single area and encouraging them to exchange materials, energy, and water through a practice known as industrial symbiosis. A power plant's surplus heat, for example, might be piped to a nearby greenhouse, while a food processing facility's organic waste could be converted into biogas that powers another factory's equipment. (B) Such exchanges require companies to coordinate schedules and share information they might otherwise regard as proprietary, a level of cooperation rarely achieved without deliberate institutional support. Local governments therefore often play a coordinating role, mapping which industries could exchange resources and providing incentives for companies willing to participate. (C) Consequently, eco-industrial parks have come to be seen as a model capable of reducing both waste disposal costs and raw material expenses simultaneously.

Ethical consumption has placed new pressure on companies to justify their practices publicly. (A) Yet critics point out that such reports are sometimes little more than carefully worded public relations documents. (B) In response, many corporations now publish detailed reports describing their environmental and labor practices. (C) For this reason, many experts insist that independent audits are necessary to confirm whether ethical claims are genuine.

주어진 문장: Many people, once they realize how much unused subscriptions cost them, feel genuine regret. The subscription economy refers to a business model in which consumers pay a recurring fee to access goods or services rather than owning them outright. ( ① ) This model has expanded rapidly beyond entertainment platforms into areas such as clothing, food, and even transportation. ( ② ) One major reason for this growth is convenience, since subscribers no longer need to make repeated purchasing decisions once they sign up. ( ③ ) However, some critics argue that subscriptions encourage people to pay for services they barely use, quietly draining their monthly budgets. ( ④ ) Because canceling often requires several steps, many consumers simply forget to end subscriptions they no longer need. ( ⑤ ) Consequently, experts recommend reviewing subscription lists regularly to avoid unnecessary expenses.

주어진 문장: Every choice, from filters to captions, is carefully calculated to create a favorable impression on viewers. Sociologist Erving Goffman argued that people constantly perform for others, much like actors managing their image on a stage, a concept known as impression management. ( ① ) This idea applies vividly to social media, where users select flattering photos and delete posts that might damage their reputation. ( ② ) Such careful curation allows people to present an idealized version of themselves that emphasizes achievements while hiding struggles or ordinary moments. ( ③ ) However, when this performance becomes constant, a troubling gap can form between one's authentic self and the polished character displayed online. ( ④ ) Maintaining that gap requires considerable emotional energy, and studies suggest it often leads to anxiety and exhaustion. ( ⑤ ) Furthermore, comparing one's own carefully staged life to others' equally staged posts can distort what people believe is normal. Therefore, individuals should recognize that some self-presentation online is inevitable, but they must also protect space where imperfection is allowed to remain visible.

This is because the sun's rays are strongest during these hours, even on cloudy days. Strong summer sunlight can seriously damage your skin if you are not careful. ( ① ) Ultraviolet rays can cause sunburn, wrinkles, and even skin cancer over time. ( ② ) To protect your skin, apply sunscreen with a high SPF before going outside, and reapply it every two hours. ( ③ ) Wearing a hat and sunglasses also helps shield your face and eyes from direct sunlight. ( ④ ) In addition, try to stay in the shade between eleven in the morning and three in the afternoon. ( ⑤ ) After spending time outdoors, cool your skin with a damp towel and apply a moisturizer.

None of these individual passersby, however, has any direct evidence that the food itself is worth the wait. Consider how a line forms outside a small restaurant on an otherwise quiet street. ( ① ) The first few patrons may have arrived simply because of a personal recommendation or a delayed reservation, factors entirely unrelated to the restaurant's actual quality. ( ② ) As the line grows, passersby begin to notice it and, assuming that such popularity must be earned, decide to join the queue themselves. ( ③ ) Each additional person who joins makes the line appear even more compelling to the next passerby, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of imitation. ( ④ ) They are, in effect, relying entirely on the visible behavior of strangers as a proxy for information they do not personally possess. ( ⑤ ) The restaurant's true culinary merit, whatever it may be, has become almost irrelevant to the continued growth of the line.

주어진 문장: He paused for a moment, feeling unsure about what the right choice really was. One Saturday morning, Jiho carried a heavy bag of old clothes to the donation box near his apartment. He had grown taller over the winter, so many shirts no longer fit him. ① At first, he almost threw the clothes into the regular trash without thinking twice. ② However, his older sister reminded him that clean clothes could still help someone else. She explained that donating clothes was like giving a plant a second chance to grow. ③ For example, a jacket he had outgrown might keep another child warm this winter. ④ Therefore, Jiho folded each shirt neatly and placed them gently inside the box. In contrast to his first careless idea, he now felt genuinely happy about his choice. ⑤ Walking home, Jiho realized that small actions could create meaningful change for others.
