〔 6 〕 次の英文を読んで，問 1・問 2 に答えなさい。

Humming for Good HealthCo-workers and employers have often mentioned I hum＊ while I work. Sometimes
they say they find it amusing. During the pandemic, working alone at home, it became
clear to me that I am, indeed, a hummer! Oddly, I hum old songs - many from mymother’s era. Since I can’t carry a tune＊, perhaps this is a 33 substitute.
It made me curious about humming, so I decided to research it. It turns out thathumming is much more than a breathy random melody. It affects us physically as wellas mentally, in much stronger ways than I’d have ever guessed. It seems logical that it
might reduce stress, but it actually lowers your heart rate and blood pressure, andproduces very powerful chemicals in the body, like oxytocin - sometimes called “thelove hormone.”
Science has accepted that music, singing, repetitive speaking and humming, as wellas the steady beat of a drum and the action of rocking in place, can be soothing andhealing, benefiting our bodies. Some would say we’re 34 hard-wired for music, rhythm
and dancing. These same behaviors have been shown to help schizophrenics＊ by
reducing the unpleasant auditory hallucinations＊ they often suffer. So, the importanceof musical rhythms in our lives is no small matter.
But humming has its own particular benefits. When you hum, a gas called nitricoxide＊ increases in your nose, and that can help to fix nose problems like sinusitis＊.
Hum for the health of your nose!
Humming - or a version of it - also helps during meditation.

Many meditation

exercises use the “Om” chant to relax and enhance well-being. Some people say it helps
us to reach a higher consciousness. The “Om” chant is a kind of humming, where you
breathe and make sounds. Many religious and meditative practices use similar chantsthat are like humming.

Old Clothing Gains New Popularity at Vintage Stores
Americans in greater numbers are buying used clothing. Fans call it vintage clothing.
They believe buying old, used clothes can save money. They also consider it good forthe environment and stylish. Vintage stores sell clothes from previous time periods.
The stores often carry famous brands and sell them at low prices.
Vintage clothing has been on the rise for about 10 years. It is driven largely by a new14

generation of people who are concerned about sustainable ways of living. That means
they want to waste less and use natural resources carefully.
In 2018, the United Nations said that the fashion industry causes “around 10% of
global greenhouse gas emissions＊.” The U.N. said the industry uses more energy than
the airplane and shipping industries combined.
Jen Mason is the owner of Underground Vintage in Lewes, Delaware, a town on theAtlantic coast. She said that clothes in the store that do not get sold are provided tolocal people. They use the material for different purposes such as making blankets.
Unsold clothes never go to waste, Mason said.
“We’re a coastal community. So we’re always thinking about how to be sustainable.
And we also live on a peninsula＊, so, you know, it takes a lot of resources to get stuff outand back to here. So we’re very much thinking about how to give something a new life.”
Large fashion companies are beginning to join the used clothing movement. Levis
Secondhand is a new program from Levi Strauss & Co., the blue jeans manufacturer.
The program buys back worn jeans to repurpose＊ and resell them.
The Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action＊ is an agreement under the U.N. toreduce greenhouse gasses. Organizations that sign the agreement promise to create
fewer gasses linked to climate change. But many people buying clothing are hoping tohelp the environment by looking to the past.
A recent report in Utah’s Deseret News notes that 20th century fashion is currently
the most popular in Utah’s used-clothing market.
Delorean 88 is a vintage store in Washington, DC. Much of the store’s clothingcomes from the 1990s and early 2000s. The store carries mostly t-shirts, many withband logos and sports teams. One t-shirt features the faces of all the members of the1996 Chicago Bulls, including Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the team’s stars.
Another shirt is from the rap music performer Eminem after his first album released in1999.
Michael Diaz works at the shop. He said customers have come in and noticed shirts15their parents might have had.
“A store like this is just - it’s nostalgia for a lot of people... They’d rather have this,like a shirt... that has, like 10 years of history, 20 years of history - rather wear that overa new shirt.”
Mason from Underground Vintage thinks part of the popularity in vintage shopping
for younger people has to do with the time before the wide use of computers. Youngpeople can disconnect from the internet and visit a physical store to try on clothes froma different time period. And the shop does not separate clothes for men and women.
“So that’s... another way vintage shopping really fits well with that generation - it’ssustainable, it fits the goals of obviously having a planet to live on, but also having somepieces that mean something... You know, like we say on the sign... wear what you like.”【From Old Clothing Gains New Popularity at Vintage Stores by Dan Novak, VOA
