| Eri |
： |
Hi , Yuka ! What did you do last Saturday
? |
| Yuka |
： |
I walked on the Ancient Road to Kumano with
my family . We walked from Takijiri-Oji to
Chikatsuyu-Oji . I had a very good time . |
| Eri |
： |
No , I haven't . But I know it has a long
history . |
| Yuka |
： |
That's right , Eri . It is about 1,000 years
old . In those days people in Kyoto traveled
to Kumano to get peace of mind .  There are still many historic places near
it . When I walk on the road , I sometimes
think I've gone back to the past . |
| Eri |
： |
Back to the past ? That's wonderful ! You
can study our history through walking . |
| Yuka |
： |
Yes . For example , the beautiful songs of
birds , the sounds of small rivers and the
warm sunshine among the trees . Beautiful
nature is good for your mind and body . On
your way home , you can also stop at a spa
. |
| Eri |
： |
Oh , really ? It will be nice to enjoy a
spa after walking . I would like to go there
soon . |
| Yuka |
： |
[ ] |
| Eri |
： |
0.K. Thank you very much , Yuka . I'm very
happy because I have learned a lot about
the Ancient Road to Kumano . |
| Yuka |
： |
Yes . Now many people hope it will become
a World Heritage site . Some people are working
hard to preserve both historic places and
beautiful nature around the road . We have
to do it for our children . |
| Eri |
： |
I think so , too . After we have lost them
, we can't get them back again . |
| Yuka |
： |
I agree . Let's begin to do something about
it ! |

| 次の英文は，高校生の拓也がスピーチコンテストにおいて，夢に再挑戦した野球選手（baseball
player）について発表したものです。これを読み，［問1］〜［問6］に答えなさい。 |
| Last July , I was looking for a book to
read during summer vacation . In the school
library I found a wonderful book . It was
a story about a baseball player . His name
was Jim . Now I'll tell you about the story
. |
| When Jim was a boy , he was the best baseball
player in his city . His dream was to become
a major league player . He tried hard to
realize his dream . But he had to give up
his dream because he had a problem with his
arm when he was 25 . After that , he had
to work hard in many cities for his family
. |
When he was 33 , he found work at a high
school . He began to teach baseball to the
students there . They were not good baseball
players .  He ( baseball , play , to , taught , how
) better to them . They practiced hard every day . But they
couldn't win any games . |
 They were very disappointed . He wanted to encourage them . So he said
to them , " I know you practice hard
. But you need one more thing . You need
a dream . If you have a big dream , you will
try harder . Believe in yourselves . You
can do it !" Then one of the students
said , " I know you wanted to become
a major league player . Why don't you try
it ?" Another [ A ] said ,"
If we win the next game , you should try
out for a major league team ."  Jim ( that , to , was , happy , very , hear
), because they knew his dream and tried to
encourage him . |
| Three months later , there was a big game
in the city . The students did their best
for their [ B ] . At last they won the
game ! Jim was very surprised and happy .
He said to the students , " It's my
turn . I have learned I can do anything ." |
| A few months later , he tried out for a
major league team . This time he did his
best for his students . He had no problem
with his arm . He could play baseball really
well . After he was in minor league teams
for only three months , at last he could
join the major leagues ! |
| Now , everyone . When Jim became 37 , he
had a problem with his arm again . He couldn't
stay in the major leagues . Do you think
he was sad ? No . He was happy because he
realized his dream . Why could he realize
it ? This story taught me two important things
to realize our dreams . We must believe in
ourselves , and around us we need people
who encourage us . Let's go for our dreams
together ! |
