(phone ringing) Hi Mom! What’s up?
Hello, darling. I’m just calling to ask – what are you doing in yourspring vacation?
I’m not sure yet. I don’t really have any plans. Why?
Me and your dad are thinking of coming to visit. Would that be OK?
Wow, that would be great! If I can get all my university work finished,
I can take a week off to show you around.
(No. 6)
No, I haven’t, but your dad went there once when he was a university
student. He’s excited to see how it’s changed.
That’s awesome. (No. 7)
That’s a nice idea. Your dad loves hiking in nature. What will theweather be like then?
It will just be warming up, but there’s always the chance of a shower.

These are the ticket machines, Michael. You will find them at every
train and subway station in Japan. They are usually by the ticket gates.
OK. They look quite complicated. Could you show me how to use one?
Of course. First, you can change the language to English if you press
this button here. Next, look on the map and find the station you want
to go to. You can see the fare on the map. Then, choose that amountfrom the list on the screen and put your money in. Your change will
come out here.
That seems a little confusing. (No. 8)
Well, that’s true. Sometimes the map is only in Japanese, but if you can’t
read it, or if you are in a hurry, you can choose the minimum amount on
the screen and pay the difference when you arrive at your destination.
I see! That’s a really useful service!
Yes, it’s very helpful. (No. 9)
I will. Thanks for your help!
You’re welcome.

A) Are the maps always in English, too?
B) What if I can’t find the station on the map, or if I need to change trains?
C) Do I have to pay the exact fare?
D) What happens if my change doesn’t come out?

No. 9 A) Make sure you pay the full amount before you go through the ticket gates.
B) You can forget about your destination and just get on a train.
C) Don’t carry too much money with you.
D) Just don’t forget your wallet.

No. 14 According to the article, which of the following causes harm to coral reefs?
A) Coral bleaching.
B) Coral breeding.
C) Burning fossil fuels.
D) Tiny algae.

Coral Reefs in Danger
Coral reef biologists are often asked the same question again and again: "Whenmy kids grow up, will there still be coral reefs?"
According to a news article on NPR.org, new research shows that in a hotter
climate, urgent action will be needed to prevent the vast majority of coral species frombeing destroyed by the end of the century. Humans will have to limit the release ofgreenhouse gases, but that alone may not be enough. Reefs may also need a helping
hand through efforts like restoration or coral breeding to create varieties which cansurvive in warmer water.
Without these efforts, the future doesn’t look bright. It is said that around aquarter of all fish species cannot live without coral reefs. Millions of people around theworld also rely on them for food, jobs and flood protection, since reefs help prevent
storms and waves from destroying coastlines.
The worst damage to coral reefs is caused by three climate issues: marine
heatwaves, ocean *acidification and overall ocean warming. The oceans have been hurt
the most by climate change so far, absorbing the majority of heat produced by humanactivity.
Marine heatwaves, which are periods of usually high sea temperatures, areexpected to become more serious, and the high temperatures cause corals to turn white
in what's known as "coral bleaching."
Corals live in partnership with tiny *algae. The algae provide food for corals andhelp produce their bright and strong colors, but under periods of serious heat stress, thecorals lose the algae, leaving only white skeletons. Some reefs can recover over time,
but many die as a result. These mass bleaching events have been extremely serious inplaces like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, which has experienced three in the last
five years.
Ocean acidification is caused by carbon dioxide. Once absorbed by the oceans,carbon dioxide from things like burning fossil fuels reacts with the water to make it
more *acidic. The increased acidification can destroy reefs and makes it harder for corals
to build their skeletons. The reefs’ growth rates are also reduced by overall ocean
warming. This is a problem because corals have to continually grow to protect
themselves from both waves and storms, and consumption by other animals.
*acidification: 酸性化も*algae: 藻類

acidic: 酸性のNo. 15 Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the article?
A) Algae and coral help each other.
B) Humans need to slow down production of greenhouse gases.
C) The Great Barrier Reef is being hurt by bleaching.
D) Colder water can help coral reefs recover.
No. 16 According to the article, how do coral reefs benefit humans?
No. 17 What happens to coral reefs when ocean temperatures become high for a periodof time?
No. 18 According to the article, what negative effects does acidic water have oncoral reefs?

I think all Japanese schools should change their sports festival to a coolerBseason, such as spring or fall. I have two reasons.

It would be a big change to tradition, but for these reasons I feel changing all
Japanese sports festivals to spring or fall would be a good idea.
