〈1〉 It is often said that the English are“reserved”. We don’t talk to each other（trains, or even make eye contact. The theory is that people are not（A①）tube）, we just place great

importance on the privacy of others, so we don’t start talking to them in case they are deep（②）thought.（Now I come to think of it, it sometimes annoyed me when Americans wouldstart a conversation while I was trying to read a book.）〈2〉（B）, once the English can see a clear reason to talk to you or to offer help, they arevery quick to act. Recently I read that the OECD had rated Britain as one（③）the top fivecountries in terms of“pro-social behaviour”（helpfulness, basically）. One newspaper despatchedreporters to test (a) this theory, getting a young woman to pretend to struggle（suitcase（④C）a heavy）the bottom of a steep set of steps for example. People of all sorts tried tohelp, some of them running（D）despite being headed in the other direction.

〈3〉 If I had read that before my accident, I would probably have cynically assumed that theundercover reporters were helped because they were（E）young women. But（⑤）

my own experience I know that people were also desperate to help me. That accident helpedme realise that behind the often grumpy appearance of the English, they are secretly very.

4Ⅱ 以下のEメールを読み、（問 1 ）〜（問 5 ）に答えなさい。

New Message
To: Alice
Subject: school festival shopping
Hello, Alice,
I am sorry you could not come to the group meeting this week. I hope you feel better today.
Our group decided that we will make pancakes at the school festival.
You and I were asked to buy the ingredients for the pancakes. We need to decide when to go shopping
for our pancake ingredients. How would this Sunday afternoon be? As you know, I have my part-time
job on the day before.
Since I had a package of pancake mix at home, I looked at the package to see what we should buy. I
put the information we need below.
We are planning to make enough pancakes for 300 people. We hope we can sell that many.
Each bag of pancake mix has four packages in it. To make each package of pancakes, we need 100ml ofmilk and one medium egg and there are 10 eggs in each carton. We will make four pancakes from eachpackage. We will sell two pancakes to each person who wants them. So, we will need at least 38 bagsof mix.
However, there are always accidents, so we may need some extra. We should also buy two extra bagsof pancake mix, an extra liter of milk, and an extra carton of ten eggs. We can eat whatever is leftover.
We will also need to buy strawberries and syrup. Each pair of pancakes will have three strawberries
and 10ml of syrup. There are 15 strawberries in each package. We can buy just one extra package ofstrawberries. We might need to get the paper plates also, if the others can’t find them in their localshop.
Please tell me what time and where we should meet this weekend.
Thanks, and see you soon,Alfredo5
