The Perfect Thing
Amy was very excited. She was going to a big birthday party ( a ) Saturday night. There
would be music, dancing, food and lots of new people to meet.
Amy knew she would have a great time, but what was she going to wear? All her friends ( b )school were talking about it. Chloe had a new dress. Sally had expensive new *jeans. Kerry hadamazing new shoes.
“Mom,” said Amy. “Please can I have some money to buy something new?”“No,” said her mother. “You have lots of nice things. What about your blue T-shirt? The one( c ) a butterfly on it? That’s cute.”“Everyone else has something new,” said Amy, unhappily.

“I don’t want to be the only one

wearing old clothes.”“It is not old!” laughed her mother, “and it’s cute. ①I don’t have the money to buy you something
new. You will have to ask your grandma.”
This was a good idea. Amy’s grandma loved shopping! So Amy called her, and on Saturday theywent to the *shopping mall together.
“Now,” said Grandma, “we are here. So, what do you want?”“Something really nice,” said Amy.
Grandma laughed. “②We need to know more than that! What are we looking for?”“I don’t know,” said Amy. “I will know when I see it.”Grandma looked tired.

“Today might be a very long day!

What color do you like?

Red?

Yellow?”“I don’t like yellow,” said Amy.
“Blue?”“I like blue.”
Grandma smiled. “Great! So we start by looking for blue things.”
They went into the first store and began to look at the clothes. Grandma took out dresses, shirts,
jeans... all in blue. “Do you like this? Or this?” Amy chose six things and went to the *fitting
room to *try them on. When she came out, grandma was waiting. “What did you think?” she said.
“Anything nice?”
Amy shook her head.

“No.

The dress was quite nice, but it wasn’t really special.

I wantsomething special, grandma.”“I know you ③do. It’s a special party! Don’t worry ― this is just the first shop. Come on!”Amy and her grandma went into every shop on Floor 1. Amy found nothing. So they went up
to Floor 2 and began again. In every shop, Amy tried on clothes.

“*Take your time,” grandma said.
They changed the color from blue ( d ) red. Still they found nothing. They went up to Floor
3 and had lunch. But there, something happened to Amy. ④Her heart suddenly felt very heavy.
She began to cry.
“What is wrong?”“I’m never going to find it, grandma,” said Amy. “I just want to go home, but I can’t go home withnothing.”Grandma said, “Don’t cry. ⑤We () tried, haven’t we? That’s the important thing. And

we’ve had a nice day. And I’ll tell you a secret. I know the perfect thing ( e ) you to wear.”“Really?” said Amy. “What is it? Do we still have time to get it?”“You already have it.” Grandma said something in Amy’s ear.
Amy’s eyes got big. “Yes,” she said. “Yes! Oh grandma ― you are so smart! Let’s go home.”That night, Amy’s mother couldn’t wait to see the special clothes. But when Amy came downfrom her bedroom, she was wearing her old jeans and the blue butterfly T-shirt.
“⑥You are going in that?” said Mom. “But you spent the whole day shopping! You said you
found the perfect thing to wear!”“I did find it,” said Amy. “I am wearing it. A smile!” She smiled her best, biggest smile.
Her mother smiled too. “You are right, Amy. You don’t need new clothes. Just a smile.”“Yes,” said Amy. “It’s The Perfect Thing.”*jeans注

次の英文を読み、各問に答えなさい。

*Manatees
Manatees are large, slow, peaceful animals that only live in a few places in the world. They canlive for forty years and grow to 600 kilograms. There are 3 kinds of manatees; they live in parts of
the United States, South America, and Africa. Manatees live quiet lives. They often swim alone.
If you see a group of manatees together, it will probably ①( be ) small (less than six members).
They usually swim slowly, about 8 kilometers an hour. They can reach speeds of 24 kilometers anhour, but can only swim that fast for a very short time.
Manatees are *mammals. When the babies are young, they drink milk from their mothers. But
they are different from other mammals in an interesting way. Most mammals, including dogs, cats,humans, and giraffes, have seven *bones in their necks. Manatees only have six. (A)This means
they cannot turn their heads to see behind them. They have to slowly turn their whole bodies.
Manatees’ eyes are small, but they can see very well. However, because of their different necks,
they can only see things that are in front of them.
One of the best places to see manatees is in *Florida, a place with beautiful nature in the UnitedStates.
In the 1970s, there ②( be ) only a few hundred manatees in Florida. Many people were ( B )that soon all the manatees would die. They worked hard to clean the manatees’ rivers and madelaws to protect them from boats in the summer. Since then, the number has increased and now
there are more than 6 thousand. However, now in 2021, manatees are again *in danger. There
have ③( be ) more deaths in the first half of this year than in all of 2020.
The reason more manatees are dying this year is that there isn’t enough food for them to eat. A
healthy manatee should eat about 10 % of its *weight every day. In winter, manatees eat the grassthat grows at the *bottom of rivers in Florida. Recently, because more people live in Florida, thewater in these places has become dirty with pollution. Light from the sun can’t reach the bottomof the rivers and it has been hard for the grass to grow.
In summer, the water becomes warmer and manatees move to the ocean. There, they can findmore space and more food.

So, at this moment, they don’t have to worry about that.

But insummer there ④( be ) another problem: The ocean around Florida is a popular place for people toenjoy using boats and doing water sports. The boats these people use go very fast and it is difficult
to find the gray manatees as they swim near the top of the water. (C)Every summer many manatees
die in boat accidents.
The problem in Florida is very serious. If the number of manatees in Florida continues to go
down, it will be very difficult to improve the situation. Manatees usually only have one baby at atime and mother manatees are often *pregnant for twelve months before their babies are born. For
this reason, we have ⑤( be ) very careful and continue to check the number of manatees in Florida.
