Happy 15th Birthday MARIA ! February 5thYouʼll be 15 on February 5th. How is your new life in Japan? ①Six months( for / passed / since / have / you ) went to Japan. It is a little sad that wecouldnʼt say Happy birthday to you face to face, but the letter you sent us lastweek says you have grateful days in Japan. Did you enjoy watching sumo
wrestling two weeks ago? ②( how / us / to / know / let ) it was. And we arevery surprised to hear that you are practicing the shamisen . We think itʼsgood to study a traditional instrument of Japan. We are looking forward toseeing you play the shamisen .
We are sure that February 5th will be a special day. Weʼve also enclosed abirthday present you might love. We hope you like it.
Have a great time in Japan.
Love from Alejandro & Gabriela
Yuki Hi, Maria. What are you reading?
Maria Hi, Yuki. This is a letter and present from my parents in Mexico. Finally, Iʼllbe 15 next Sunday.
Yuki Yeah,＜ あ ＞ Actually, Iʼm going to have a birthday party to celebrate it andmake a cake for you next Sunday. I hope youʼll like it.
Maria How nice! Iʼm looking forward to your cake. In my country, the 15th birthday isthe day only for girls.
Yuki Only for girls, not for boys?
Maria Right. Of course boys also have their 15th birthday but itʼs a usual one. Girls
who become 15 are not seen as children in my country. Their family and friends
have a party to celebrate the birthday. The girls wear special dresses and dancea lot. We call it “Quince Anos” in Spanish.
Yuki In Japan, there is a national holiday for both men and women who become 20.
Each city and town usually has its own ceremony around that day. They can meettheir old friends there and some of them wear special Japanese clothes. This is
the way to celebrate Coming of Age Day.
Maria Oh, there are many differences between our countries.
Yuki Well, Iʼve heard another story from our English teacher from England. In hiscountry, when people become 21, their father and mother give them a card and ahouse key is printed on it. That means they can come back home even late atnight after their 21st birthday.
Maria So, each country has its own culture.
Yuki Yes, thatʼs right. By the way, are you ready to practice playing the shamisen?
Itʼs just an idea ＜ い ＞
Maria That sounds wonderful! Thanks to you, I have been improving my shamisen skills.
I want them to see my playing on my birthday.
Yuki Now, we have only 5 days to your birthday party. Letʼs get started.

次の英文を読んで，後の各問に答えよ。

The earth is called “a water planet.” There is a lot of water on the earth but we canʼt usemost of it. Do you know the reason for this? Most water on the earth is salt water.
Japan has a lot of rain. As you know, the rain water goes into rivers and goes fast into thesea. So, we need to control the rivers to use that water but it is very difficult and we canʼt use
it well. Then, why do we feel that there is enough water in Japan? One of the reasons is that
we get a lot of food from foreign countries. To grow such food, they use much water. We cansay that we get that water from them too. We donʼt have to use that amount of water for
growing food, so we feel that we have enough water in Japan.
People around the world have had problems with water in many rivers. Some countries takewater from the same river. If one country uses too much water from the river, the othercountries canʼt get enough water for their everyday lives. They fight to take the water.
People living around the rivers have to share water but they are “rivals.” A long time ago, themeaning of “rival” was ①a person disputing the water in a river.
The UN says that the number of people in the world will increase and in 2025 about twothirds of the people in the world may not have enough water. Now, some companies are trying
to make drinking water from salt water. If they can do ②this, no country in the world will have“rivals.”（注）planetcontrol
