次の英文を読んで、あとの問いに答えなさい。（各 4 点）

エforgot well

Japanese people are known for becoming deeply immersed in their hobbies
and for pursuing perfection in whatever they tackle—an admirable trait that I try toemulate. But, I must admit that I also have a habit of trying things for a while andthen stopping, such as taiko drumming, shodo calligraphy and even butoh dance!
I have a dear friend named Yuriko who has an unusual hobby. She isobsessed with Scottish dancing and she is much, much better at it than me.
Through her I know that there are several groups of Scottish country dancers
here in Tokyo that hold lessons once a week, with many informal gatherings known asceilidhs, weekend workshops and even formal balls once a year that Yuriko loves.
Not only do the Japanese fans of Scottish dancing know all the standard
dances and the more obscure ones, (2)what I was amazed to discover is that they
actually create new dances in Japan and then send the notations to Scotland to havethem (3)approve by the Royal Scottish Country Dancing Society.
So here’s where (4) a confession is in order.
In Scotland, most of us take pride in doing our own dancing very casuallyindeed. Whereas the dancers in Japan point their toes and spring beautifully andgracefully, we rock from side to side with our legs like planks, making loud hooting
noises and generally aiming to hurl our partners as far and fast as we can across theroom.
(5) So sorry, Yuriko!
