（配点 50 点）
The older I get, the more I realize that routine is a very important part of life. I probably
notice this more than other people because I work at home and tend to follow the same routine
every day. My day usually starts at around 7am when I get up. I eat breakfast and read thenewspaper from cover to cover, and then go for a long walk. I start work at around 10am, andwork through to *1midday. I then have lunch, read a book and take a short (a)nap. I am back at
my desk by 2pm and I work ( 1 ) 6pm, when I take a bath. After dinner I read or watch
television (usually both). I go to bed at around midnight.
If anything happens to (b)interrupt this routine, it (P)［①leave ②tends ③feeling ④to ⑤me］
a little tired. Of course, this does not mean that I don’t like being tired. Meeting up with friends,
visiting grandchildren, going out for meals, going for long drives; everything that doesinterrupt my routine is enjoyable, so I’m not complaining. But, the truth is, I always feel at mybest when doing the same thing every day.
I have often wondered why routine is so important for not only human beings, but ( 2 )for dogs, and maybe other animals. Our dog, when she was alive, loved routine. She wanted toeat at the same time every day. She wanted to go for a walk at the same time every day. She
wanted to go to bed at the same time every day. If any of (i)these were delayed, she would sit infront of me and stare into my eyes, as if telling me to hurry up. I have also read that routine isvery important for babies and young children. (X)They become unhappy if the same things
don’t happen at the same time every day. Having considered all this, I decided that we
probably have a memory from ancient times, when leaving the home for hunting or traveling
was full ( 3 ) danger. The only things that people did not fear were the routine matters thatthey took care of every day. They therefore found comfort in routine and were afraid of theunexpected.
But, routine can also result in (c)boredom. Doing the same things every day ― especiallyuninteresting things, like cooking or the laundry ― is not much fun. When I considered this, I
noticed that the things that (Q)［①are ②happy ③make ④every day ⑤me］not just the routine
things, but the routine things that I enjoy. In other words, an enjoyable routine produces
happiness.
In his book, The Conquest of Happiness, Bertrand Russell says that happiness cannot be
obtained without (d)effort. Personally, I don’t agree ( 4 ) this. It assumes that happiness is asingle thing, and that one must work hard to obtain this single thing. In my own opinion,happiness is not a single thing. It is a collection of many small things that bring enjoyment ona daily, routine basis. People think that money will bring them happiness. People think thatmarriage will bring them happiness. People think that freedom from worry will bring themhappiness. Although I am sure that all of (ii)these may result in feeling happy, this feeling only-6-

lasts for a limited period of time. Once one has become used to the situation, the sense ofhappiness becomes weaker.
The word “happiness” in English is an uncountable *2noun. (Y)This, I believe, is a mistake. I
think that it should be a countable noun. In my opinion, overall happiness can only be obtainedby (e)gathering together as many small daily happinesses ( 5 ) possible. The more small
daily happinesses a person has, the happier he or she will be. But, it is also necessary, I believe,to be aware of being happy while enjoying these small happinesses. If one is not aware of them,
they simply become a part of the daily routine.
