問 3. 次の英文を読み の内容 関す (1)～(5)の設問の答４ し 最も適切 ものを
1～4の中から一つ選び 記号 答え さい
Japanese and Americans
There are many similarities and differences between Americans and Japanese, more than can be explained in a brief paragraph. However, I would like to mention a few of them. One of the most important differences is in their level of self-assertion. Japanese, in general, tend to follow the opinions of most of the people in the group. It is difficult for them to speak up if they disagree. Americans, in contrast, are more likely to express their own opinions. In fact, they consider it an interesting and important part of social interaction to discuss differences of opinions. Americans might feel that it is boring if everyone agrees. Another difference is in their views of the future and the amount of control that they have over it. Americans tend to be optimistic and Japanese fatalistic.
(1) What does the writer think is the most important difference between Americans and Japanese?
1 Their levels of self-assertion. 2 Their attitudes toward the future.
3 Their attitudes toward education.
4 They are all equally important.
(2) How do Americans feel about disagreements?
1 It is interesting when people can discuss different opinions.
2 It causes problems when people have different opinions.
3 They make an effort to avoid disagreements.
4 They feel good if they agree.
(3) In general, who feels that they have more control over the future?
1 Japanese feel they have more control. 2 Americans feel they have more control.
3 They are equal.
4 The writer does not say.
(4) Which of the following is not true?
1 Japanese don’t resist forces or control. 2 Japanese don’t avoid forces or control. 3 Japanese fight against forces and control.
4 Japanese tend to believe forces and control inevitable.
(5) Which of the following is not true?
1 In general, Japanese put more value on education than Americans.
2 Americans put very little value on education.
