６ 次の文章を読んで、あとの各問に答えなさい。
）（＊印のついている単語には、本文のあとに【注】がある。
Hereʼs a photo of the earth. This is the first photo of the whole earth taken by
American astronauts on the way to the moon in 1972. People are amazed by the perfect
blue circle with white clouds against dark ＊space. It looks so beautiful and full of water.
Itʼs actually full of life. Every living thing has water in it. Water is life. However,（１）it is becoming difficult for the earth to support more and more people, while ouractivities are influencing our local and global environment more than before. Many people
have started working to save the earth, so we can save all the life here. This is acommon goal shared by many countries.
First, letʼs look at the earthʼs ＊surface. About 70% of it is covered with water. On
the land there is fresh water in lakes and rivers, ＊solid water in ice and snow, and inplants and trees there is water too. Though the ＊amount of water in the air is small,about 60% of the earth is always covered with clouds. It is unique among the ＊planets
because water ＊exists on earth in all three ＊forms: water ＊vapor, ＊liquid water, and solid
ice. ① That makes water unique among liquids too. Some other planets have water, but
too little or only in the solid form. Many scientists agree that life exists when liquidwater exists. They havenʼt yet discovered any planets supporting life.
Now, think about the earthʼs water. Of all its water, 97 5% is salt water and only 2 5%
is fresh water. If we drink salt water, our body must work hard to remove the salt byusing even more water. That means drinking sea water makes us thirstier. It can evenmake us sick if we drink too much. We need fresh water to survive. Almost all the
fresh water is either in ice and snow（over 68 7%）or in the ground（30 1%）. It is difficult
to get ＊access to it. It is easier to get fresh water from lakes and rivers, but its amountis very small（0 3%）.
Next, pay attention to the fresh water. Scientists know that the earth has beensuccessful in keeping the same amount of its fresh water by recycling it. Imagine thewater drunk by dinosaurs about 100 million years ago is the rain falling on us now ! The
water ＊cycle explains this. As the sun shines over oceans and on the ground, liquid water
becomes water vapor. Plants lose water from their surface too. As water vapor goes up
in the air, it becomes cool and changes its form and comes together to create clouds.
Water in clouds becomes large and heavy, and falls from the sky back to the earth as
rain, snow, and so on. Then it travels under the ground or returns back to lakes, rivers,
and oceans. The cycle starts again. It is happening all the time in all parts of the earth.
These days,（２）humans are influencing the natural water cycle, as more people arecompeting for water needed for their increased activities to live a convenient life.

6Here, Iʼd like to introduce ＊virtual water. This way of convenient life is supportedby ＊importing a lot of ＊resources and ＊products, including virtual water, across national
borders. Virtual water is water used to produce any products, and we cannot actually
see it in the final products. If a country imports products instead of producing them, it
can save water resources in the country. In fact, producing high-technology machinesneeds a large amount of water to wash and create small parts used in the products. For
example, making a computer uses 20 000L of water. Because Japan produces only about
40% of all the food to support its people, it is one of the countries importing the largest
amount of virtual water. Almost all of it（98%）is in food products, 60% comes from theUnited States, and 14% from Australia. To import 1 kg of beef also uses 20 000L ofwater in many steps from growing plants for the animals to actually bringing beef to asupermarket. In fact, some people have stopped eating beef to protect the environment.
The ＊average amount of water and virtual water used each day by each Japanese personis 3 000L. It is almost twice the world average of 1 756L. Maybe we are using some oftomorrowʼs water for todayʼs needs.
Then, how much water do we actually use? According to a Tokyo government
report, an average person uses about 219L of ＊tap water every day: 40% for taking abath, 21% for the toilet, 18% for cooking, and 15% for washing. 6% is used for otherthings, including washing the face, drinking and so on. We have easy access to safe water.
We open the tap and use as much water as we want, and many of us donʼt use it carefully.
Brushing our teeth for one minute without closing the tap uses about 12L. Thatʼs a big
waste ! We need to know that in many countries, the tap water isnʼt safe to drink, orsometimes water stops running. We also should know that more than 700 million people
in the world donʼt have access to safe water. In addition, almost all global waste water
isnʼt reused or returned to nature without ＊treatment. These ways make drinking water
dangerous and create pollution. Each year, 1 2 million people die from health problems
and diseases through dirty water.
Now, letʼs think about water in our body. A human body is made of ＊cells and about
70% of them is water.
＊

Water travels through our body, and brings along useful

substances to every cell, then takes away wastes and removes them from our body.

Water can ＊dissolve more substances than other liquids. ② This is another unique thing
about water. About 60% of an adult body, and 80% of the ＊brain and heart are made ofwater. When we are very thirsty, we have difficulty to keep our full attention because
our brain cannot work well. So, it is good to drink water before we feel thirsty, forexample, as soon as we wake up in the morning. Six to eight hours of sleeping is thelongest period without taking water in a day. While sleeping we are losing water vapor
through the nose and mouth. An adult usually needs to take about 3L of water every

7

day. That is about 1% of water we use each day. We can get some water from eating
food too.

Those cells full of water can keep our bodyʼs shape, as well as the bodytemperature. Water protects our body against the environment because of waterʼs two
unique points.
Water is necessary for life. Just with our small and simple steps, we can save a lotof water. We should be careful about water while taking a bath. We can brush our teeth
with only a cup of water. We have to reuse water for more than one activity to savewater. We donʼt want our future generations to face any water problems.

）（＊印のついている単語・語句には、本文のあとに【注】がある。
One day Mr. Tanaka said to his English class, “It has been about six months since
you entered this high school. I believe your English is better than before. You are goingto have an English speech contest next month. Everybody is going to speak about forfive minutes in English. I think itʼs going to be a great experience for all of you. Haveyou ever done this before?” The students ＊looked around. Ayako raised her hand. “Yes,
I did it once in the English speech contest in my city two years ago.” The students were
surprised, and looked at her.

Mr. Tanaka said to her, “Wow !

Can you share yourexperience here?” She said, “Actually,（１）I didnʼt do it well. It was my first time tospeak on a stage in front of many people, and in English. I became so nervous and forgot
my first sentence.” She didnʼt look happy. Ichiro said to her, “Ayako, everyone makes
mistakes.”

Mika said to Mr. Tanaka, “Once my friend from Australia asked me tointroduce places to visit in Japan at her Japanese language school.

In Japanese I

introduced Tokyo as one of the wonderful places to visit and explained some things to do.
Was it a speech?” He answered, “Yes, it was. Thank you for sharing the example, Mika.
This is called an ＊informative speech. The goal of the speech is to give others information.”“Mr. Tanaka, I remember a famous speech,
informative speech?

.

Was it also an

I donʼt think the goal of that speech was to give information,”

Satoshi asked. Mr. Tanaka answered, “Thank you for the question, Satoshi. Youʼre right.
Itʼs a different kind of speech. Can you guess the purpose of the speech?” Satoshi said,“Is it to change the world?” Mr. Tanaka said to Satoshi, “Thatʼs right,” and looked ateverybody. “This is called a ＊persuasive speech. The goal is to change peopleʼs opinions
or actions. Class, you can choose your speech ＊type. Please think about it. Now, youhave a week to decide your ＊topic.” Ayako still remembered how nervous she felt, andhow terrible it was to just stand without saying anything in front of the ＊audience. She
almost started to cry and wanted to run away from the stage. For weeks before thecontest in her city, she had ＊nightmares about forgetting her sentences and woke up in
the night. She didnʼt want to have that same experience again.
A few days later, after school, Mr. Tanaka talked to Ayako and asked about her
topic for the English speech. She answered, “Well, Iʼm not there yet. I cannot evenimagine giving a speech in front of people now.

Iʼm afraid that Iʼll make the same

mistakes again in front of a lot of people.” Mr. Tanaka said, “Everybody makes mistakesin life. The important thing is to learn from the mistakes.” He asked her to remember
how she prepared for the city speech contest. She answered, “I wrote my speech, tried
to ＊memorize everything, and practiced alone. On the contest day, I couldnʼt remember

12anything because I was too nervous. I couldnʼt start at first. When I started speaking, I
said the same words and phrases again and again. It was hard for me to continue myspeech.” He listened to her carefully and asked, “So, did you memorize and practicealone?” “Yes. . . . Oh, I see. I understand what my mistakes were. I should practice manytimes with others this time. Am I right?” she asked. He answered, “Yes, youʼre right.
You can do it this time. Iʼm waiting for your topic. Have a good weekend.”
Ayako remembered a boy giving a speech just after her in the city contest. His
speech was about nine simple changes to reduce waste. He said that small changes could
make a big difference. She could catch only one of them. It was to stop buying plastic
water bottles and instead use our own bottles. A few days after the contest, she started
to talk about that change to her parents and friends. They began to carry their own
bottles, and they also told their families and friends about their changes.
That evening, Ayako went to a convenience store with her grandfather to buy somefood.

Because he didnʼt have his shopping bag, he paid three yen for a small one.

Supermarkets, convenience stores, and all other types of shops donʼt give free plastic bags
any more, so customers need to pay for the bags if they want them. On the way home,
Ayako said to her grandfather, “I know that plastic is useful in our life. However, I havelearned that plastic is bad for the environment. Plastic is made from oil, and a lot of CO2
is produced when plastic bags are made. I also learned that plastic waste ＊damages theoceanʼs ＊ecosystem.” He smiled at her and said, “Wow, you know a lot of problems about
the environment. Well, I usually use my

as a shopping bag.” He also explainedthat it was light and it could carry things in different kinds of sizes and shapes. He
continued to say that in addition to its useful points, we could put it in our bags when we
didnʼt use it. “Grandpa, I think some people will still buy plastic bags because theyʼre notso expensive. I want more people to use their own shopping bags. I want to introduce
as a ＊reusable shopping bag in my speech.”
Next week Mr. Tanaka talked to his English class. “Everyone, have you decided
your topic? Your next step is to collect and read much information about your topic, andthen decide the information to use. You will also decide the type of speech, informative
or persuasive, important points, and then start writing your speech. The last step is. . . .”Ayako raised her hand and said, “To practice in front of people.” Mr. Tanaka agreed.
“Thatʼs right. See? She learned from her experience. Everybody, please come to see me
to practice when you are ready. Practice makes your speech perfect.” Ichiro said to Ayako
after the class, “Letʼs practice together. I need your advice.” She answered, “Of course ! ”
Ayako looked for information about

and its history, and thought about theimportant points. Then she wrote her speech. She practiced many times in front of her
friends, family, and Mr. Tanaka for several days. She was able to speak better and better13

＊as she practiced. At first, she practiced with Ichiro. She could feel ＊confident about

speaking because he encouraged her when she stopped speaking and made mistakes.
“Ichiro, your speech is about the importance of sleeping. Is it informative or persuasive?”
she asked. He thought a little and answered, “Thank you, Ayako. I didnʼt think about
the type so much. I should decide it now.” Her parents also told her to talk to theaudience, and said, “Donʼt just read your speech from memory.” Her grandfather heard
her speech and said, “I donʼt understand English, but（２）I know that youʼre trying togive a strong message to your audience. Be more confident.” When she practiced in
front of Mr. Tanaka, he asked her, “You want others to use their reusable bags to reduce
CO2, right?

is one good example. Your message is very clear. This English

contest will be a chance to change peopleʼs actions.”

She felt confident because heunderstood her message from her speech. Ayako looked at him and said, “Yes, itʼs thegoal of my speech. I think

will attract the audienceʼs attention, and then they

will think of using their own reusable bags. I still feel nervous even when I practice infront of others, but feeling nervous isnʼt a bad thing. Now I am enjoying speaking andcannot wait to give my message to the audience.”
On the day of the speech, Ayako stood in front of her classmates. They knew thatshe practiced a lot to give a perfect speech, and that she also helped her classmates.
Everybody was looking forward to her speech. She was still nervous, but she was not soworried about the speech any more. Thanks to a lot of practice and advice, she could
feel confident. She learned from her mistakes, and she was sure that she would be able
to do better this time. She was here to give her message. With a big smile she started
to say, “Hello, everyone. Do you know anything about【注】look around
