A

次の英文を読んで、後の問いに答えよ。
The very first time that I came to Japan was 40 years ago, in 1983. I wasアyoung, spoke only very basic Japanese, and knew just a little about

Japanese culture. Soon after arriving, I moved into a one-room apartment inan old, run-down* building where mostly students lived.
On my first night in my new home, I left my apartment and walked down
the hall* to use the bathroom that all first-floor residents shared. On myway back, I saw a Japanese boy, heading for that same bathroom.

ⒶHe

seemed to become nervous when he noticed me, but despite that, he greetedme and introduced himself.
Although my limited Japanese ability and his poor English skills often
made communication difficult, this boy, Okazaki-san, and I quickly became
friends. During my year in Japan, he and I spent a lot of time together, andhe helped make my stay a successful and enjoyable one. Not only was hea companion with whom I could spend free time and have fun, but he alsoイ

his best to listen and offer support anytime that I had problems orworries.
Okazaki-san and I are Ⓑstill occasionally in contact with each other.
Though four decades have now passed, I remain grateful for his kindness andwarm friendship during my very first stay in Japan.
（注）*run-down = 老朽化した

次の英文を読んで、後の問いに答えよ。
It is very common to be careful not to eat too much, but sometimes people
compete to see ( X) they can eat more than anyone else. In “competitiveeating,” competitors try to eat the most of a certain food within a period ofabout ten minutes. Such contests have been part of American culture forcenturies, often during celebrations held on July 4th, Independence Day.
Since 1972, the best-known eating event has been the annual contest
organized Ⓐby the New York City restaurant named “Nathan’s Famous HotDogs.” Many Americans Ⓑbecame aware of this event in 2001, when Japan’sTakeru Kobayashi devoured* fifty hot dogs, double the previous world record.
ⒸKobayashi was small and skinny but had trained himself to eat in a style sofast that viewers said he was “like a conveyor belt.” Although Kobayashi’s
six-year winning streak* was later beaten, he remains a star of competitiveeating.
Eating quickly has become a big business, with live television broadcastsof eaters competing for prizes and fame. Professional organizations oversee
dozens of regular contests held all across North America. ( Y) there areeating contests in many other countries, this “sport” is most common in theUnited States, with eating contests for things as varied* as ice cream, bacon,and garlic.
Stuffing* food into your mouth has risks, however. Some contestants*
have died from choking, so proper competitions now have ambulances readyto respond if needed. Everyone loves to eat, but eating contests encourage
unhealthy rather than healthy behavior. They are, thankfully*, not likely
to be recognized as legitimate sports, such as those included in the Olympic
Games. (Z) you have a doctor watching you, please do not try this athome!
