| 次の文を読んで，各問いに答えよ。 |
| Tomoya is a high school student . He often
exchanges e-mails with a girl who lives in
Saipan . Her name is Lena Achen . Saipan
is a small island in the Pacific . The sea
around the island is @blue and beautiful . Two daysago , Tomoya wrote
to Lena about early Japanese history . This
is a part of the e-mail . |
 |
| In Japan , the people called Jomonjin lived from 2,300 to 12,000 years ago . Japan
is an island country and some Jomonjin sailed by canoe to some islands in the Pacific
.... |
|
| Today , a new e-mail arrived from Lena . |
| Tomoya , thanks for your e-mail . I was
interested in Ayour story about the sails of Jomonjin . |
| Our island also has a long history and
we sometimes study our old culture . One
week ago , my class visited a small school
opened by an old man , Mr . Mau Piailug .
BHe teaches young people the traditional way
of sailing by canoe . He has made a lot of long trips by canoe
since he was young . |
| Mr. Piailug said to us , "More than
3,000 years ago , people on our island traveled
by canoe in the Pacific . Even on the large
sea , they knew the place of their canoe
by watching stars at night . During the day
, it was important to watch the Csun , clouds or birds in the Sky . I learned
( D ) to sail by canoe from my father
. The traditional way of sailing by canoe
is an important part of our old culture .
So I want young people to keep it for a long
time . " |
| In the garden , several young men were
making a canoe . Mr . Piailug explained to
us ( E ) to make it . I couldn't believe
such a small canoe was able to go far in
the Pacific . |
| Then Mr . Piailug introduced Mr . Reppan
to us in the garden . The two old men were
good friends .Mr . Reppan told us about his
long sail to Okinawa by canoe in 1975 . |
| In late October , Mr . Reppan and five
other men started from their home island
. They called their canoe "Chechemeni."
It means "Think more !" in their
language . |
| The men worked hard all the way on the
large sea . They always had to think where
they were . FThe weather changed when they came near Japan . It became colder
and the wind got stronger . they helped each
other and worked harder . GAt last , they could arrive in Okinawa in December
. They traveled three thousand kilometers
for about fifty days. |
| HNow I can imagine . Long long ago , the people from Saipan sailed
far in the Pacific , and possibly on some
islands they met the people from Japan .
What do you think ? |
| See you . |
