次の英文を読み、各問に答えなさい。

Many years ago, we lived on a *farm. We had a *dry season there every year. One year, it didn’t
rain in almost a month. The vegetables were dying.
started to worry ( aThe rivers had no water. Many farmers) losing their farms.

One day, I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my six-year-old son, Billy.

He waswalking into the forest. I didn’t know what he was doing. He looked very serious. I could only
see his back. He was trying to be ( b) quiet ( b) possible when he walked.

A few minutes after he went into the forest, he came running back to the house. I went back to
making lunch. I thought he was hungry and he was coming back to eat. But soon, he started
walking to the forest again. ①This continued ( c ) a while: walking carefully to the forest andrunning back to the house.
I came out of the house and followed him. He was getting water from the *water faucet in thegarden next to our house. ②I didn’t want him to see me so I was very quiet. He made a cup withhis hands in front ( d) him. ③He was very careful not to drop the water that he held in hissmall hands. Trees hit his little face but he did not stop. Then I saw several large *deer. They
were standing in front ( d) him. Billy walked to them. One of them was very close. But thedeer did not look angry ( e) him. The deer didn’t even move when Billy sat down. And a little

baby deer was lying on the ground. It was thirsty and tired because it was hot. It raised its headto drink the water in Billy’s hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up and ran back to thehouse. He went into the garden to get ④more. He opened the water faucet. He slowly filled his‘cup’. And then I understood. I got angry ( e ) him the week before because he was playing withwater. We told him that it was necessary to save water. When his ‘cup’ became full, he *turned off
the water with his arm. When he stood up and began to walk back, I was there in front ( d) him.

He was surprised to see me and he began to cry. “I know that water is very important, but I needit,” he said. I brought a pot of water from the kitchen. We went to the forest together. I gave thepot to my son. He put it on the ground in front ( d ) the baby deer. The baby deer drank fromit. I stood and watched him. He was working so hard to save ⑤it.
The tears started to *fill my eyes and hit the ground. Then something wonderful happened. Iheard a loud sound above my head. I looked up. The clouds were very dark. It suddenly started
to rain.
Some people don’t believe my story. They say that such *miracles don’t really happen. But I
know that the rain that came that day saved our farm … just like my son saved the deer.

次の英文を読み、各問に答えなさい。

Rock, Paper, Scissors
Everyone knows the game rock, paper, scissors, but do you know where it came from? This gamewas first ①( play ) in China about 2,000 years ago. From there, it came to Japan and it becamevery popular.
(A)The game that the people of China created was a little different from now. In the old game,players could choose from three things: *the slug, the frog, or the snake. When it came to Japan,people stopped ②( use ) these animals. Instead, they used their hands to make *a fox, a villager,
or a hunter.
The rock, paper, scissors system was not used until the 17th century.
A quick game of rock, paper, scissors can be used to decide many things. For example, if there
is one cookie on the table, two children can play to decide who will eat it.
But this simple game ③( be ) once used to decide some very important things.
There are two famous *companies. They sell art. Their names are *Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
In 2005, a rich man named Takashi Hashiyama wanted to sell some paintings he had. Thesepaintings were made by very famous artists like *Pablo Picasso. They were very expensive: about
20 million dollars.
The two companies, Christie’s and Sotheby’s, both wanted to help him to sell the paintings.
Hashiyama couldn’t decide which company he liked more, so he asked them to play a game ofrock, paper, scissors to decide who could sell the art.
The companies had 3 days to make a plan. They had many *meetings. Would they choose therock, the paper, or the scissors? If they won, they could make millions of dollars. If they lost, theywould get nothing!
In the end, Christie’s won because they chose scissors. It was stronger than Sotheby’s ( B ).
There are people who don’t like rock, paper, scissors.
In sports, *referees usually use a *coin to decide which team will get the ball first.
However, in 2018, the referee of a women’s soccer game forgot ④( bring ) the coin. He told theteam captains to play rock, paper, scissors instead. The *Football Association didn’t like it. They
told him that he couldn’t do his job for 3 weeks.
Some animals play rock, paper, scissors!
In *Mexico, there are *lizards that have bright colors on their bodies. For each lizard, the color
is different: some lizards are blue, some are yellow, and some are orange. These lizards do not fightwith each other. If an orange lizard and a blue lizard want the same thing, the orange lizard canhave it. If a blue lizard and a yellow lizard want something, the blue one gets it. If there’s a yellow
lizard and an orange lizard… (C)Can you guess?

Rock, paper, scissors is an amazing game. But, if you think it’s too simple, there is somethingelse you can try! This new game is rock, paper, scissors, fire, water. Like the old game, rock isstronger than scissors and scissors is stronger than paper. But now fire is stronger than all three ofthem. The only way to win against fire is with water, but water loses to rock, paper, and scissors.
Good luck, and ⑤( enjoy ) your games!
*the slug, the frog, or the snake
