4 次の文章を読んで, あとの各問に答えよ。
(印の付いている単語・語句には,本文のあとに 〔注〕がある。)
Mary was a junior high school student. Her family loved swimming. Her two.
brothers, John and Tom, were the best swimmers in the city. Her parents were P.E.
teachers. Mary, the youngest child in the family, was very good at swimming, too. She
practiced swimming every day after school at a swimming club in the city. She had
a rival there. Her name was Betty. She swam almost as fast as Mary, but Mary always
swam faster than Betty. She never defeated Mary in a race. They knew each other,
but they didn't talk much. Both Mary and Betty always wanted to swim faster than each
other.
One day, Mary was defeated by Betty in a race. That was a first experience for her.
She was shocked. After the race, Mary wasn't able to improve her times. First, she
began to practice harder. Then she asked her coach to tell her other ways to practice
swimming. She followed each of them. But that didn't work. She didn't know what to
do. Betty also practiced hard, and improved her times. Mary stopped going to the
swimming club.
Mary's family worried about her. They gave her some advice. Her mother said to
her. "Everyone has had an experience like that." Her father said to her, "Don't worry.
Just keep practicing, and your times will get better soon." Her brother John said to her,
"Why don't you try some other sports? I think that will help you." Her brother Tom said
to her. "I think you should try swimming slowly. Try thinking about your
swimming form. I sometimes practice that way when I get into a deep slump." Mary
understood what they felt for her. But she didn't go to practice. Every day after school,
she just stayed home. She wondered what she should do with her life.
Two weeks later, a letter arrived for Mary. She opened it. It was from Betty. She
was surprised to get a letter from Betty. She started to read it.
Dear Mary,
I haven't seen you for two weeks. Are you all right? I miss you very
much. I always wanted to swim faster than you, but now I can't practice as
hard as before. I've found I really need you. Please come back to the club
again!
Yours,
Betty
When Mary read the letter, she was happy to learn that she was important to Betty, and
she remembered some things.

"When Betty was practicing hard and improved her times, I wanted to practice
more. When I made a new record in a swimming race, John and Tom were very
happy. When I was able to swim twenty-five meters for the first time, my father
got more excited than I."
Mary knew her family always helped her. She thought, "I was able to keep swimming
because of my family's help. And I have a good rival who practices swimming with me."
She decided to swim again.
The next day. Mary went to the swimming club. Other swimmers said some kind
things to her. She saw Betty. Betty said to Mary, "Let's practice together!" and smiled.
Mary was very glad to see her again.
For six months, Mary practiced very hard with Betty. Then she made a new record in
a race. Mary was very happy. She knew that she and Betty were good friends. And
that made her happier.
