次の英文を読んで、後の問に答えなさい。

COVID-19 has disrupted a lot of plans. As we head into the second year of the pandemic, many of us
are still waiting to move on with our lives.
This global uncertainty has hit those who were planning a move to Japan particularly hard, as Helena
Sanmamed knows well. An industrial engineering student from Spain, she was supposed to begin studies
at the University of Saitama this spring. However, the border is largely closed to those who aren’t
citizens or current residents.
“What I find most stressful is the lack of information that we have,” she says. “Things would be lessdifficult for us if we had a timeline to follow.”
While the pandemic is indeed an exceptional situation, concerns about a lack of transparency and unclear
timelines are familiar to businesspeople who’ve been dealing with Japanese organizations since long
before COVID-19 even existed.
Experts on the decision-making and communications practices of Japanese organizations say that
although the lack of information for those waiting to enter the country is unfortunate, it’s part and parcel
with the way businesses, governments and other institutions normally form consensus.
“The Japanese look at life like a college entrance exam, always searching for the one right answer,” says
Masaharu Shibata, an author and management consultant specializing in Japanese corporate behavior.
“In times like these, when the situation is fluid and changing, there isn’t one correct answer. That’s when
Japanese, and especially Japanese organizations, have trouble coping.”
The pandemic, with its many evolving variables including emerging coronavirus variants, waves ofinfection (both in Japan and overseas) and vaccine distribution challenges, is a prime example of thekind of situation that Japanese organizations find difficult to deal with.
“The multistep Japanese-style decision-making process can’t handle rapidly changing situations,” says
Daisuke Tsuji, an administrative scrivener who is an expert in legal documentation and specializes invisa issues. “We see the same issue (when there is a) delay in issuing state of emergency declarations.”

次の英文を読んで、後の問に答えなさい。

The human kinetic pictogram performance shown during the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020
Olympics has mesmerized and amazed people all over the world. Some critics and medias even highly
praised that the performance stole the show.
During the performance, it was also introduced that pictograms have been extensively used in theOlympics since the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 1964. For the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympicgames, 70 new pictograms have been announced and the organizing committee has introduced animatedones for the first time.
Pictograms are signs appeared in a pictorial form, and are widely used in facilities or places such as
tourist spots and airports because of conciseness to communicate with people who speak different
languages. Examples of the most well-known pictograms are toilet and emergency exit signs. We all
have seen them here and there many times. We even look for these signs when necessary.
The unique feature of a pictogram appears in its visualized and simplified depiction. It helps us tounderstand the signs instantly, to guide a favorable and/or prohibited behavior, and even to be warnedof danger without additional instructions.
Some of the similar groups of pictograms are traffic signs, icons, and emojis. For road and traffic signs,
these are something everybody learns at an early stage of life and more intensively before taking adriving test. Icons used in a computer system help us access a certain program or data by clicking
them. Emojis such as smileys have become popular worldwide after being added by mobile phone
operating systems.

They were originally developed to express emotional cues in text messages.

The visualized form of communication has prevailed widely and we use pictograms so often today.
Some are standardized and have been used as universal ones like the Olympic pictograms. Some havea long history, but some others have been a wide-spread phenomenon in a short period of time. Willany different form of communication appear soon? Who knows? As the proverb “necessity is the motherof invention” says, we might find something new in the near future.
