問題 3 以下の英文を読んで、次の問いに答えなさい。 (*のついた語には語注が ある。) If you are able to step outside and hear many types of birds, you might also have a greater feeling of well-being. Two studies show that hearing diverse birdsongs may help increase our happiness. (A) One study was done by researchers at California Polytechnic State University. A research team studied the effects of birdsong ( 1 ) people walking through a park in the U.S. state of Colorado. A biology graduate student, Danielle Ferraro, led the study. "There could be an evolutionary reason why we like birdsong so much. And the idea is that when we hear birdsong it could signal safety to us," Ferraro says. There could be many other reasons, too. Ferraro states that in some areas around the world birdsong can also signal the arrival of spring and nice weather. Bird diversity, she adds, can also mean a healthy environment. She explained her study to Voice of America (VOA). Ferraro and her team played recorded songs from a diverse group of birds native to the area. They did this on hiking trails in a park in Boulder, Colorado. (2) several weeks, the researchers played recorded birdsong at certain times of the day and other times they did not. Then they talked with hikers after they ( 3 ). Hikers who heard the recorded diverse birdsongs reported a greater sense of well-being than the people who heard simply the natural birds. The researchers suggest that both the bird sounds and biodiversity* can increase feelings of well-being. Ferraro explained that she used native birdsong for the study. This way it would sound as natural as possible. They also did the study during the summer. She explains why this is important. "So the study ( 4 ) in the summer and that's kind of important because the spring is most birds' breeding* season. And if we play the birdsong during breeding season, that might have disturbed them. (B) We didn't want to disturb the birds too much." The study was published in an academic journal called the Royal Society B in December 2020. - 10- ◇M2 (310-15)

Are you enjoying your life in Japan ? I have big news. Three weeks ago, I joined a volunteer group ( 3 ). We usually go to mountains or rivers near our town and clean them, because birds and animals sometimes eat the garbage there. We know it is not good for them. Also, in winter, we will go to one of the lakes and see how many birds there are. I heard there were about 500 birds last year. I hope this winter we will see more birds than last winter. We only do small things, but I believe that doing small things is important. Last night, I told my grandmother about our group. She enjoyed listening to me. She loves flowers and birds very much, but she uses a wheelchair now. She doesn't go out very often to enjoy nature. Then I came up with an idea.

〔Ⅰ〕 次の英文を読み. 設問 1~21 に答えよ。 Sandy lives in an apartment so small that when she comes home from shopping, she has to decide what to move out to make room for her purchases. She struggles day-to-day to feed and clothe herself and her four-year-old daughter on money from freelance writing jobs and helping neighbors. (2) Her ex-husband has long since disappeared down some unknown highway, probably never to be heard from again. As often as not, her car decides it needs a day off and refuses to start. That means bicycling (weather permitting), walking or asking friends for a ride. 13 The things most Americans consider essential for survival- a television. microwave, big freezer and high-priced sneakers are far down Sandy's list of "maybe someday" items. (5) Nutritious food, warm clothing, an affordable apartment, student loan payments, books for her daughter, absolutely necessary medical care and an occasional movie eat up what little money there is to go around. Sandy has knocked ) more doors than she can recall, trying to find (7) a decent job, but there is always something that doesn't quite fit-too little experience or not the right kind, or hours that make child care impossible. Sandy's story is not unusual. Many single parents and older people struggle with our economic structure, falling into the gap between being truly self-sufficient and being poor enough that the government will provide assistance. What makes Sandy unusual is her outlook. "I don't have much in the way of stuff or the American dream," she told me with a genuine smile. "Does that bother you?" I asked. "Sometimes. When I see another little girl around my daughter's age who has nice clothes and toys, or who is riding around in a fancy car or living in a fine house, then I feel bad. Everyone wants to do well for their children." she replied. "But you're not angry?" "What's to be angry (9) and I have what is really important in life," she replied. "And what is that?" I asked. (10) "As I see it, no matter how much stuff you buy, no matter how much )? We aren't starving or freezing to death. (11) money you make. you really only get to keep three things in life." she said. "What do you mean by 'keep?" (12) "I mean that nobody can take these things away from you." "And what are these three things?" I asked. "One, your experiences: two, your true friends; and three, what you grow inside yourself." she told me without hesitation. (13) For Sandy, "experiences" don't come on a grand scale. They are so-called ordinary moments with her daughter, walks in the woods, napping under a shady tree, listening to music, taking a warm bath or baking bread. Her definition of friends is more expansive. "True friends are the ones (15) who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for a while. Even after years apart. you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die, they're never dead in your heart," she explained. 16 ) to each of us. (17 As for what we grow inside, Sandy said, "That's ( isn't it? I don't grow anger or sorrow. I could if I wanted to, but I'd rather not." "So what do you grow?" I asked. Sandy looked warmly at her daughter and then back to me. She pointed toward her own eyes, which were shining with tenderness. gratitude and a sparkling joy. "I grow this."
