（* 印のついている単語・語句には、本文のあとに【注】がある。
）
Mary is a *senior in high school. Her parents and her big brother, Ron, come towatch her last basketball game of the year. She just finishes it.
We lost the game. I said to Anne, “Captain, it was a good game, but the otherteam worked harder.” Anne said to me, “I canʼt believe it, Mary. Iʼm so sorry.” She
started crying on my shoulder. （ １）Other members of our team saw that andfollowed our captainʼs example. When we left, the champion team was smiling for a
photographer. Their photos will appear in magazines and newspapers. Thatʼs thedifference between going home with first prize and second. Ron said, “That was thebest game the Rabbits have ever played. Iʼm proud of you.” “No, Ron. I *failed to getto my goal.” “You know, we win some games and lose some, Mary.” I didnʼt want tohear it from someone who won his last game. In the car, on the way home, everybody
tried to cheer me up. But I couldnʼt hear them, and tears covered my eyes. When we
returned home, I ran to my room.
I was alone in my room and feeling terrible. It was not about losing the game.
The game was good because all the players of both teams did their best. And the teamthat worked harder and tried harder won. I was fine with that. Then, where did thisfeeling come from? I was not seeing things clearly through my tears. I needed Ron.
As my big brother, from *kindergarten to high school, Ron opened everybodyʼs heart
and created a *path for me. Then his voice came behind the door. “Mary, you havebeen in your room for two hours. Your family is worried about you. Come down.” So
I went down.
“Have some apple pie and hot milk, Mary. Youʼll feel better,” said my mom. And
she was right. Still, I had this terrible feeling. I said, “I wanted to follow Ronʼs path,but I failed. All my hard work was a waste.” “Oh, Mary, donʼt say that. （２）Youshould know that making an effort for your goal is as important as winning in theend,” said my dad. “Yes, Dad. You have told me that so many times. But why am I
feeling so terrible? It wonʼt go away.” Ron said, “Listen, Mary. I havenʼt told you, but
it happened to me before. In the end, the hours and days I spent for my goals were
not a waste. They have become my treasure. Yours will become your treasure, too.” I
wasnʼt sure yet. Finally, my mom said, “Look at these photos, Mary Chesterton. You
can see your treasure for yourself.”
She attracted my attention to the photos on the wall. My family put photos there
to remember the great times. “You two worked so hard for the *presentation,” said

― 6 ―

my dad, as he pointed at the photo of Sae and me smiling at each other. It was of a
*middle school event, and many people in the *community could come. Students who
passed a *tryout gave a presentation about their project. I wanted to take part in it
because Ron did it and was successful. Sae came to me with a great idea. “Letʼs show
and tell about Japanese kimono and about American jeans. They show the spirit ofeach culture.” We created a really good speech and practiced many times. Our goal
was to open peopleʼs eyes and hearts to different cultures. However, as the day camecloser, we became more nervous. In my dreams, we could not speak at all. My mom
was *practical. She said, “Hard work brings you *success. Practice, practice, andmore practice.” My dad was positive. “Jeans are our heritage, Mary. Because they
have seen our history, they can speak for themselves. Donʼt worry.” Ron encouraged
me. “I was there two years ago. You and Sae are a better team with a clear goal. And
here are my lucky jeans. Wear them.” （３）His words and his jeans pushed those bad
dreams out of my head. On the presentation day, we made the biggest *impression on
people and got to our goal. Sae wearing kimono and I wearing jeans were the mostpopular pair. The school newspaper showed more photos of us than of other teams.
My mom pointed at the photo of my family, at a community meeting, in funny
costumes. “You helped us for the first time. You were still in kindergarten.” Our goal
was to spread the importance of respecting the environment. People thought we were
strange, but many stopped to listen. We were successful because we attracted theirattention. Saving the environment has been my motherʼs volunteer work. At home,
she told us to follow the 3 Rs: reducing, reusing, and recycling. So, it was natural towear each otherʼs clothes in our family. Actually, I almost always wore Ronʼs old
clothes before high school. Some people said I had no *sense of fashion, and some said
I looked cool. Sometimes, that was how I knew my friends.
Ron pointed at several photos of the Tigers and the Rabbits. “Basketball will
never leave me. Itʼs an important part of my life, though I am spending more time on
studying at college now.” The Tigers is one of the strongest high school boy teams in
the city. He was the best player in the city when I entered the same school. I was
nervous about the tryout to join the Rabbits, the girl team. I had some questions.
“What is it like? What should I do?” Ronʼs answers didnʼt help me. “Just be yourself.
Make a great impression on the coach.” My dadʼs answer encouraged me. “You haveplayed with bigger and taller boys until now. You know you can do it.” My momʼs waspractical. “Have fun, Mary. Worrying about success is just a waste of time.”
I touched the photo of Anne and me. At the tryout, I used Ronʼs style. He had
good communication with his teammates. Soon, a tall girl caught my attention among
40 students. She caught the coachʼs attention, too. In the end, I had a lot of fun― 7 ―playing basketball with the good athletes at the tryout. Later, the coach put the 20
names of the Rabbits of 2020 on the wall of the gym. Anne was the first, and mine thesecond. I heard a voice, “Mary, hi, Iʼm Anne. You play like your brother, the best
player Iʼve ever seen. Also, I was impressed by your presentation about jeans.” She
was that tall girl who caught my attention at the tryout. Before I could say a word,
she continued. “You were wearing Ronʼs clothes. You looked so cool.” “Well..., thanks.
Weʼll make a great team.” Her face was kind. It was a kind of face I liked to see when
I was ill or unhappy or scared. We soon became a very good pair, and we could finish
each otherʼs sentences. And we played the last game together.
I said to my family, “Mom, Dad, Ron, with you,（４）I have made a lot of treasures.
I can see them clearly now.”【注】

７ 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。
）
Letʼs look around the station. We may see pink ticket gates, yellow lines on theplatform, black numbers on the train schedule, and a red button to stop trains whensomething dangerous happens. A person wearing a red coat may walk in front of you.
When we look around, we find our life is full of color. We think seeing color is natural,but some animals and insects donʼt *recognize color as humans do. It is believed thatcats and dogs see the world with less color. Birds are able to see a kind of light whichhumans canʼt see. It is said that humans are usually able to recognize more than 1.8
million colors, and even over seven million in a good situation. So, why do we see somany colors? How do we use those colors in our life? First, what is color? To find theanswer, itʼs necessary to know how we see things.
We recognize colors because we see light. All the things around us *reflect lightinto our eyes. It gets to the *retina which is the part to *respond to the light in theeye. *Signals about the thing which is seen are created there, and they are sent to the*brain. Then, we recognize shapes and colors. However, light doesnʼt have any color.
So, how do we see color? In the retina, there are some kinds of *cells which respond tolight, shape, and color. One of them is called *cones. There are also three kinds ofcones, and each of them responds to the different *wavelengths of three colors: red,green, and blue. For example, when the cones for red respond to the wavelengths in
the light, the signal for red is created. When the brain gets the signal, we recognize it
as red. Green and blue are recognized in the same way, and all the other colors arerecognized by mixing signals of those three colors. Color is created by our eyes andbrain.
Recognizing color helps us a lot. We know color is used to tell us something, andwe learn its meaning in our daily life. We know we should stop when we see a redsignal on the street. At a big station, the schedules of trains are shown with different
colors. This is helpful for us to find trains that will get to our station faster. After wehave these experiences many times, we share the *knowledge about a special meaningof color. When we have learned the *combination of the color and meaning, we donʼthave to think about it every time. Because of color, we not only see things around us
more easily, but we also can understand things around us more *efficiently.
A similar way to use color is also seen in the natural environment. Plants have
many ways to protect themselves, and one of them is using color. Combinations ofbright colors, for example, red and black or yellow and black, show that the plant isdangerous to eat. Animals which have learned to stay away from dangerous things―1 1―

through their experience donʼt eat plants with such bright colors.
When we think of colors, we shouldnʼt forget that culture and the environment areimportant parts. Some basic colors, for example, red and blue, are common among
different cultures, but there are some differences influenced by each culture. For
example, letʼs look at French words for brown. Café is the color of coffee, Chocolat isthe color of chocolate, Biscuit is the color of cookies, and there are even more browns
for the names of food. France is famous for its good food, and the food culture has
influenced the names of colors in French.
Then, how is Japanese color inf luenced by its culture? （１）There have beendifferent ways to decide the name of a color. Usually, the name is decided for a reason
or a meaning. One of the ways is using the name of the thing with the similar color
like Café in French for the color of coffee. The other is using the name of the *material
to make the color. For example, the *dye of Japanese traditional dark blue called Ai is
made from a plant called Ai. In the past, Japanese people often used dyes made fromplants, so many Japanese words for color come from their names. The names of colors
show us some important parts of each culture.
Japanese colors also have an interesting story in history. People created so manykinds of brown and gray around the middle of the Edo period. Because ordinary
people became richer than before, they used a lot of money for beautiful clothes. Then,the government didnʼt want them to use too much money and *forbade bright dyes for
clothes. Not only the color but also the material of the clothes was decided by thegovernment. However, the people didnʼt give up trying to wear unique clothes. They
made efforts to create a lot of brown and gray because such simple colors were theonly ones they could use under the rule. It is said that more than one hundred kindsof brown and gray colors were made at that time. Edo people could see small
differences among the colors and enjoyed them.
Today, color has become more important to us. It is believed that color influences
our *perception in many ways. For example, a black thing looks smaller than a whiteone. In addition to size, we feel a black thing is heavier than a white one. Colorinfluences our body, too. Sometimes we feel warm or cool when we look at color, so wecall some colors like red a warm color, and colors like blue are called a cool color.
When we look at a vending machine, we will easily see that warm colors are often
used for hot drinks, and cool colors for cold drinks. Red makes us not only warmer but
also excited. It is said seeing it influences our way of eating and buying. When we
see it, we eat a lot or buy many things even if itʼs not necessary. （２）We already use
this knowledge in daily life.
We also get some *impressions from each color, though there are differences―1 2―

among cultures. Red is thought as a powerful color in Japan. When we wear red
clothes, we can impress others as being powerful people. In the same way, companies
are very careful about color when they sell their *products. When they think about
the impression of the color, they choose the one which will influence their customer
the most. At the store, the way to show the products with colors is also important to
attract more attention from customers. Color can be as powerful as words toencourage customers to buy things.
So, what is color to us? Color is not only science and art, but also a language tocommunicate with others.
