For thousands of years, people made their homes (1). They had to have fresh water for people,

plants and animals. When rain didn’t fall, a river always gave them water. The first people with towns
and farms lived in Mesopotamia (now Iraq), between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers.
The people of Egypt lived next to the Nile River because river water made farming easy. Everyyear, after the rains in the mountains of Africa, the Nile flooded the land next to the river and( 2 ). Farmers cut small waterways from the river across their land. These carried water to theplants. Sometimes farmers made pumps. These pumped water out of the river and on to the farmland.
They were small pumps and a man could work them. Later, there were bigger pumps and an animal
worked them.
When there were more people on Earth, some ( 3 ). They learned about ground water.
They made wells and took fresh water from them for their animals and plants. In many countries
people take their water from these same old wells today. They have to carry it ( 4 ) on theirheads or on the backs of animals. Often they have to carry it for kilometers.

次の記事を読み、下の問に答えなさい。

For adults, the need to wear a mask can be inconvenient. For children it could be more serious. Masks
disguise key cues in our expressions, making it harder to read someone’s face, and there is growing
evidence that this could be affecting child development.
Child carers who wear masks while at work say it is difficult to establish a relationship of trustwith children because they have to conceal their mouths.
Professor Myowa Masako specializes in the human brain and psychological development at
Kyoto University Graduate School of Education and Faculty of Education. She says adults must be
especially careful about interacting with infants from when they are born until they are about a year
old. That’s the age at which babies are studying people’s faces and learning expressions.
Babies need to see the eyes, nose and mouth to recognize a face. As the months pass, they learn
to distinguish emotions such as joy or anger. This ability forms the foundation for understanding otherpeople’s feelings.
Myowa says that only adults can communicate using just their eyes. She says it’s important togive babies opportunities to see people’s facial expressions. She advises family members to show
their faces to their babies at home even more than before.

③ A new-born baby tries hard to catch the meanings of what people’s faces express.
④ Babies can recognize other people’s faces through nothing but the movements of themouths.
⑤ Showing your eyes, nose and mouth can help babies get the basic ability to understandothers’ emotions.

次の英文を読み、(1)～(4)の各文が本文内容と一致するよう下の①～④から適切なものを一つ選び[]に補いなさい。

A good relationship does not just happen; it must be built through the efforts of both people in therelationship.
To create a good relationship, two people must approach each other with empathy. Empathizing
is “walking in another person’s shoes” to understand how that person feels. Since the world you see
cannot be exactly the world that someone else sees, being empathetic is not always easy. But when
you empathize, others feel that you are trying to understand what happens to them, and they are more
likely to trust you.
It takes two people to have relationship, and each needs to share in making it work. In a good
relationship, each person needs to feel that the other person makes an effort to share feelings so thatboth people feel that the relationship is equally and fairly balanced.
For relationships to grow, the people involved must begin to trust each other. When you trust
someone, you feel that you can rely on that person. You have complete confidence in the other person.
To establish trust, friends must approach each other with honesty---about themselves and about theirfeelings toward the other person. At the same time, they must feel secure that what they reveal about
themselves will not be used to hurt them in some way.
As relationships develop, they also promote personal growth. When you take responsibility inrelationship, for example, you become a more responsible person in other areas of your life. When
you improve your communication skills in a relationship, you can also transfer those skills to otherareas of your life.
