次の英文を読んで, 設問に答えなさい。 [5] The headline grabs your attention: "The ancient tool used in Japan to boost memory." You've been The Japanese art of racking up clicks online more forgetful recently, and maybe this mysterious instrument from the other side of the world, no less! could help out? You click the link, and hit play on the video, awaiting this information that's bound to change your life. The answer? A soroban (abacus). Hmm, () それは私がどこに鍵を置いたか覚えておく助けになりそうには ないですよね? This BBC creation is part of a series called "Japan 2020," a set of Japan-centric content looking at various inoffensive topics, from the history of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki pancakes to pearl divers. The abacus entry, along with a video titled "Japan's ancient philosophy that helps us accept our flaws," about kintsugi (a technique that involves repairing ceramics with gold-or silver-dusted lacquer), cross over into a popular style of exploring the country: Welcome to the Japan that can fix you. For the bulk of the internet's existence, Western online focus toward the nation has been of the "weird Japan" variety, which zeroes in rare happenings and micro "trends," but presents them as part of everyday life, usually just to entertain. This sometimes veers into "get a load of this country" posturing to get more views online. It's not exclusive to the web traditional media indulges, too but it proliferates online. Bagel heads, used underwear vending machines, rent-a-family services - it's a tired form of reporting that has been heavily criticized in recent times, though that doesn't stop articles and YouTube videos from diving into "weird Japan." These days, wacky topics have given way to celebrations of the seemingly boring. This started with the global popularity of Marie Kondo's KonMari Method of organizing in the early 2010s, which inspired books and TV shows. It's online where content attempts to fill a never-ending pit - where breakdowns of, advice and opinions about Kondo emerged the most. Then came other Japanese ways to change your life. CNBC contributor Sarah Harvey tried kakeibo, described in the headline as "the Japanese art of saving money." This "art" is actually just writing things down in a notebook. Ikigai is a popular go-to, with articles and videos popping up all the time explaining the mysterious concept of ... having a purpose in life. This isn't a totally new development in history, as Japanese concepts such as wa and wabi sabi have long earned attention from places like the United States, sometimes from a place of pure curiosity and sometimes as pre-internet "life hacks" aimed making one's existence a little better. (B) The web just made these inescapable. There's certainly an element of exoticization in Western writers treating hum-drum activities secrets from Asia. There are also plenty of Japanese people helping to spread these ideas, albeit mostly in the form of books like Ken Mogi's "The Little Book of Ikigai." It can result in dissonance. Naoko Takei Moore promotes the use of donabe, a type of cooking pot, and was interviewed by The New York Times for a small feature this past March about the tool. Non- Japanese Twitter users, in a sign of growing negative reactions to the "X, the Japanese art of Y" presentations, attacked the piece... or at least the headline, as it seemed few dove the actual content of the article (shocking!), which is a quick and pleasant profile of Takei Moore, a woman celebrating her country's culinary culture. Still, despite the criticism by online readers, the piece says way more about what English-language readers want in their own lives than anything about modern Japan. That's common in all of this content, and points to a greater desire for change, whether via a new cooking tool or a "Japanese technique to overcome laziness." The Japan part is just flashy branding, going to a country that 84% of Americans view positively find attention-grabbing ideas for a never-ending stream of online content. And what do readers want? Self-help. Wherever they can get it. Telling them to slow down and look inside isn't nearly as catchy as offering them magical solutions from ancient Japan.

4の解き方がわかりません。 例えば(a)で、続く文であくびを謝っていることも全て把握した上で、挨拶なのでpolitelyかと考えたのですが、なぜ誤りなのか教えていただきたいです。

13 Lucy is a British schoolgirl who lives in Oxford. She is talking to her father, Fred, in the kitchen of their home. Read the conversation below and answer the following questions. Lucy: (a) Good morning, Dad. Oh, sorry for yawning. What are you doing with that microwave oven? It looks heavy. Do you need a hand with moving it? Fred: I think I'll be OK, Lucy. I'm just going to put it in the car and take it to the city dump. Lucy: Couldn't you send it away to be repaired? Fred: It's ten years old and well out of warranty now, so I very much doubt that the manufacturer would do it. They probably don't even carry the spare parts anymore. Lucy: That's a shame. Oh, I know what! Why not take it to the Repair Café near my school? Fred: What's that? I've never heard of it. Lucy: It's brilliant! We visited it as part of our environmental science course recently. It's a meeting place where people can get together to mend broken items cooperatively. And have a chat and a cup of coffee! Fred: I'm all ears. Tell me more. Lucy: Well, the first Repair Café was started by a Dutch woman called Martine Postma in Amsterdam in 2009. (1) 彼女は,使い捨て文化で環境が破壊されて, ゴミの量が地球規模で増えることを心配してたん . She wanted to find a local solution to this global problem. Fred: That's what they call "thinking globally, acting locally," isn't it? Lucy: Exactly. She also wanted to address the decline in community spirit amongst urban dwellers and do something about people's loss of practical skills and ingenuity. Fred: And the idea (2) caught on? Lucy: Very much so. The concept has grown into a global movement. The one in Oxford started about four years ago. Fred: Impressive! What kind of things do they repair? Lucy: Oh, all sorts. Electrical appliances, clothes, furniture, crockery, bicycles, and even toys. Fred: How successful are they at repairing things? Lucy: Well, of course, they cannot guarantee to fix every item brought to them, but they have a fairly good success rate. One study found that on average 60 to 70 percent of items were repaired. The rate is higher for some items such as bicycles and clothes but lower for things like laptop computers. Fred: I can understand that. Just between you and me, I think some electronics manufacturers deliberately make products in such a way that you cannot disassemble them and repair them unless you have specialized tools and equipment. Lucy: Yes, and that's where Repair Cafés can help. But these cafés are not just about repairing things for people. They are places where we can meet others, share ideas, and be inspired. The volunteer repairers are very keen to involve the visitors in thinking about the repair and actually carrying out the repair themselves. They also encourage people to think about living together in more sustainable communities. Fred: I suppose you could say they are about repairing our minds, not just our things. Lucy: Quite so, although often the two are very closely related. Many people attach (3)sentimental value to old things that might, for example, be part of their family history. Fred: I see what you mean. It almost sounds too good to be true. (a)Is there a catch? For example, how much does it cost? Lucy: Advice and help from the repairers is free, but people who use the café are invited to make a donation. That money is used to cover the costs involved in running the café. If specific spare parts are needed, the repairers will advise you on how to obtain them. Fred: Well, that's marvelous! (e)Then I'll take this old microwave there. Are they open today? Lucy: Yes, and I'll come with you. I've got a pair of jeans that are badly in need of some attention. QUESTIONS 1. Translate the underlined part after (1) into English. 2. What does the underlined phrase after (2) mean? Select the most appropriate expression from the list below. (A) became popular (B) hit a dead end (C) occurred to you (D) played a significant role (E) worked in practice 3. The underlined phrase after (3) means the value of an object which is derived from personal or emotional association rather than its material worth. Give ONE object that has "sentimental value" for you and explain why it has such value. Your answer should be between 15 and 20 English words in length. (Indicate the number of words you have written at the end of your answer.)

Reading 00000000000000 Read the passage and answer the questions. The number of foreign tourists to Japan is increasing every 60 year. In 2016, over 20 million people visited Japan for sightseeing. Many of the visitors come from Asian countries near Japan. These tourists enjoy Japan's unique food, traditional buildings, 5 and natural scenery. But the Japanese government wants even more tourists to come. They started a plan to encourage tourists to visit the country more than once. First, the government asked tourists what they want to do during their first visit. Eating Japanese food is the most popular 10 activity. The least popular is skiing. Next, they asked them what they want to do on a second visit. The research shows that few tourists want to do the same activities again, such as eating Japanese food. However, skiing and snowboarding, and nature tours are more attractive for second time visitors than first- 15 timers. The biggest increase is in seasonal experiences, such as seeing cherry blossoms in the spring or falling leaves in the autumn. Clearly, foreign tourists want to experience something new and unique for their second visit.

この問題の答えを教えて頂きたいです🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

1. 次の英文を読んで (1) ~ (5) の問いに答えなさい。 Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? I have thought of going into space as an astronaut so many times. Traveling beyond the earth is always a great dream and hope for humanity. But as everyone knows, it is not easy to be an astronaut. There are many people who want to try to get into space flight programs all around the world. So first, you have to pass extremely difficult selection processes to even participate in the training and testing used to prepare potential astronauts for operating in and living F ) in space. The training itself is so hard that it is very difficult (A) complete. ( those that pass the training, only a few can actually experience the trip into space. Every time I see the news about the manned space flights on TV, it does sound like something impossible for a regular person like me. (G ), there was a recent event that really surprised me in September 2021. They 2completed said that ("Crew Dragon" 3the 3 day-mission 5called) the spacecraft successfully. As a surprise, this mission was an "All- Civilian" flight. The four people in the Crew Dragon were not professional astronauts from other space agency programs. A billionaire booked the Crew Dragon capsule last year and picked three normal people to ride (B) him. It was the VERY first totally private mission to orbit. The stories of how the people had been chosen and how the trip succeeded were not only amazing but also very heart warming. Watching this news reminded me (C) the excellent idea about Space elevators. This is a promising scientific technology that could take us into space much more (K) in the future. ( H ) JSEA (Japan Space Elevator Association), the concept of a Space elevator would make reaching orbit in space easier and faster (D) using Centrifugal force and Earth's gravity instead of rockets. Engineers estimate it requires a cable that is about 100,000km long and more than 100 times as strong as steel. So of course, it sounds like a challenging development. Also, the space elevator would require much less energy to lift cargo and people into orbit and be significantly more eco-friendly. As they continue to work on advancing technology, the space elevator may become a reality (E) we know it. With the space elevator, traveling into space would no longer be an impossible dream for us, ordinary people. Just talking about it, I get totally excited and can't help hoping to experience the situation of looking down on the earth from the space one day. (E)に入る前置詞として適切なものを①から⑤か (1) 本文中の(A) らそれぞれ選びなさい。 Dwith 2to 3before 4 by 5 of P.1
