For example, they've found that the plains faolo s and the Eastern forests were not a wilderness but a series of gardens. The continents were not vast uninhabited spaces but a busy network of towns and cities. Indigenous people,* we've 05 learned, altered the ecology of the Americas as surely as the European invaders did.

(21) (22) (23) Any Change? Long ago, humans did not use money. Because they often could not produce everything that they needed, they traded some of their goods for goods made by others. Gradually, the goods that they exchanged were replaced by cash. For hundreds of years, metal coins and paper bills that can be exchanged for goods and services have been produced. Cash is convenient for many people because it is easy to carry. At the same time, though, it ( 21 ). Another disadvantage is that criminals have been able to produce fake coins and bills. In the middle of the 20th century, plastic credit cards were introduced. They had security features to prevent them from being used by anyone except their owners. At first, their use was limited to wealthy people. Over time, however, they became ( 22 ). In the last few years, apps for smartphones that can be used in the same way as credit cards have also become popular. Because of this, some people are suggesting that we may soon see the end of cash. Supporters of a "cashless" society in which all payments are made electronically argue that it would have several benefits. For example, people would not have to worry about keeping their wallets safe. However, some people are concerned that they might be unable to pay for the things they need because of a software error or a broken smartphone. Moreover, some people do not have bank accounts or credit cards, so their only option is to use coins and bills.

次の英文を読んで, 設問に答えなさい。 25 min. 454 words 2 25分ぐ終了 ( Listening to a gardening program the other day, I was struck by something the /S-70₂ expert said about a particular type of potted plant.

Cause it to feel stress, and it will produce more, and more beautiful, flowers. 52 Surely this advice is against everything that we are told by doctors. Stress is bad for us, they say. Stress is the cause of all sorts of diseases. Stress caused by overwork sometimes results in early death. Newspaper and magazine articles tell us how to reduce stress, or how to avoid it altogether. No one has a good word for stress. 10 3 And yet, I asked myself, if stress is good for plants, can there possibly be any value for us in it?

All students know that they should study regularly throughout the year, and then be able to face examinations without fear. In fact, 15 most students leave this study till the last possible moment, and then hastily try to ( 3 ) lost time. Many of us, likewise, put off dealing with our problems until the deadline approaches. Every year I resolve that I will write all my Christmas cards and letters ahead of time, and avoid a last-minute rush; and every year I find that 20 once again I have left it too late for me to finish comfortably.
