次のⅠ～Ⅲの問いに答えなさい。
Ⅰ

次は，中学生の Kaori が，英語の授業で発表した“My First Volunteer Work”というタイトルのスピーチである。英文を読み，あとの問いに答えよ。
Last month, I read an article* about working as a volunteer in the newspaper.   Then I
thought of one person, Mr. Kimura.  
I think most of you know Mr. Kimura.  He lives near here and he takes care of the flowers
along the road to our school.  One day, I said to him,“Thank you very much for taking care ofthe flowers.   I like seeing them.   They’re beautiful.”   He smiled and said to me, “It’s mypleasure.*  I hope many people will enjoy them.  It’s only a small thing, but I want to do it forthe people in our town.”  
I wanted to do something for other people like Mr. Kimura.   So I decided to clean thelakeshore* when I take a walk every morning.   When I walk along the lakeshore, I always
enjoy the beautiful view.  I wanted everyone to enjoy the view like me.  
While I am picking up garbage on the lakeshore, many people say to me,“Thank you.”  
When I hear that, I am very happy.  After strong winds, the lakeshore gets dirty.  Cleaning it
is hard, but I don’t feel（①）because I decided to do it.   When I was a child, I only did

things that other people asked me to do.   Through this experience, I’ve learned that it’s
important to decide what to do for others by myself*.
A week ago, I had another wonderful experience.  When I was cleaning the lakeshore, I met
a woman who was doing the same thing.   She said to me, “Thank you for keeping thelakeshore clean.  I see you when I take a walk every morning.  I was moved*, so②.”  

I was glad to hear that.  
I found that even a small thing can move people if we do it for others.  I also learned thatvolunteer work will spread to other people in this way.  I hope everyone will do something forother people like Mr. Kimura.

次は，ある英字新聞の記事（article）である。英文を読み，あとの問いに答えよ。
I’m Yuki.  One of my father’s friends, Mr. Smith, and his family stayed with my family
for three days last year.  Mr. Smith is a doctor.  Ten years ago, he made a new medicine*for eyes.  He built a hospital, too.
One day, I asked him,“Mr. Smith, you have done great things in your life.  How did you
do those?”   He answered, “I just did the things that I wanted to do, Yuki.”   I wassurprised because that was not so（①）from our daily* actions*.  I asked him again,“Many people think in the same way, but they can’t do the same things.   What isdifferent?”  He answered,“People have dreams, but they are only dreams.  If you want todo something, you need a clear* purpose* and ways.”  I was shocked*.  I had a dream, but I
didn’t have those things.  Mr. Smith continued,“And I don’t think many people care abouttime.  For example, they play video games for long hours.  Life is a gift from our parents
and it is short.  We should use our time well.  So I chose my purpose and ways when I
was fifteen years old.   Supporting sick people was my purpose.   Becoming a doctor,
making a new medicine and building a hospital were my ways.  I worked hard for a longtime to achieve* my purpose.”
His words were amazing to me.  I think that we need to have our purpose and ways.  
And I believe that it is important to spend time carefully.

４次は，中学生の Kenta が英語の授業で発表したセルフレジ（self-checkouts）についてのプレゼンテーションである。英文を読み，あとの問いに答えなさい。
Machines are all around us.  In your house, you use a vacuum cleaner* when you clean yourroom.   You use a camera when you take pictures.   In every place, you see useful machines.  
They have helped us in our lives.  But they have both good points and bad points.  Today, I’dlike to talk about self-checkouts in supermarkets.
I will show you one picture, two tables* and one graph*.  First, you’ll see what self-checkouts
are.  Second, you’ll learn why supermarkets started to use self-checkouts.  Third, I’ll show you
the percentage of supermarkets which used self-checkouts from 2019 to 2022, and thepercentage of supermarkets which wanted to use self-checkouts during the same period*.  
Then I’ll show you some bad points about self-checkouts.
What are self-checkouts?  Look at this picture.  These are self-checkouts.  Some of you haveseen or used self-checkouts.  When you buy something, you scan* the barcode* of the items andcan pay at a self-checkout.
Why did supermarkets start to use self-checkouts?   Look at this table.   Supermarkets
started to use them for several reasons.   One reason is that self-checkouts can shorten* thewaiting time of customers*.   They can scan and pay for their items without waiting in longlines.   Another reason is that supermarkets don’t have to employ* many human cashiers*.  
There are some more good points about self-checkouts.  For example, using self-checkouts cankeep your purchases* private.  You don’t have to share them with a cashier.
① Look at this graph.  According to a survey, in 2019, the percentage of supermarkets whichused self-checkouts was about 58%, and 20% of stores hoped to use self-checkouts.   Thepercentage of supermarkets which used self-checkouts increased from 2019 to 2022.  However,from 2019 to 2020, the percentage of supermarkets which wanted to use self-checkouts
decreased.
Another survey shows that people who are over 60 years old don’t think self-checkouts arevery useful, compared to* young people.  Some old people are afraid of having troubles because
they can’t scan items well.  When troubles happen, you may have to wait before you start toscan items.  Customers who can’t use self-checkouts well need someone to help them.  ② Thismeans supermarkets need to employ working people there.  So the percentage of supermarkets
which wanted to use self-checkouts decreased.  
There are more bad points about self-checkouts.  Look at this table.  It shows you the badpoints about self-checkouts.  As I told you, self-checkouts sometimes have（③）when you

scan the barcode.   And, if there are more self-checkouts, there will be fewer（④）forcashiers.   If more people choose self-checkouts, there may be no job opportunities* insupermarkets.
There are some people who think supermarkets are livelier* when the supermarkets havehuman cashiers.     They feel happy to hear “Thank you very much.   See you⑤again,”from people, not from a machine.  
Which do you like better, self-checkouts or human cashiers?  Thank you for listening.
