次の英文は，長崎で良太（Ryota）の家にホームステイをしていたトム（Tom）が，アメリカに帰国後，母親と 話をしているところです。これを読んで，あとの問いに答えなさい。
Mother: What are you doing?
Tom: I’m reading an e-mail from Ryota. Mother: Oh, Ryota? ①
Tom: Come here, and read this.
Mother: What is kawaisou?
Tom: It’s a very diff icult Japanese word. Ryota’s mother cooked a lot of Japanese food for me on the f irst night. It looked good. I asked Ryota how to say “it looks good” in Japanese. He answered, “Oishisou.”
Mother: Oishisou?
Tom: Yes. Oishii means “good” and sou means “it looks.” When I said oishisou to them, they were very happy. I was also happy because I could use Japanese. When we f inished dinner, their dog came to our table. I held it in my arms.
Mother: ③
Tom: Yes, I do. It had a ribbon on its ear. I wanted to say “it looks cute” in Japanese.
“Cute” is kawaii in Japanese. So I saw the dog and said kawaisou. Then they were surprised.
Mother: Why?
Tom: In Japanese, kawaisou means “that’s too bad.” If we want to say “it looks cute,” we should use kawairashii.
Mother: That is interesting. Did you have another interesting experience with the Japanese language? Tom: Yes. When Ryota’s homeroom teacher came to the house, I said to her, “Ocha wa
ikagadesuka?” This means “Would you like some tea?” She said, “Iidesuyo.” I thought she answered “yes, please” because ii meant “good.” So I went to the kitchen and came back with tea. She was surprised and told me that iidesuyo had two different meanings. Mother: Two meanings?
Tom: Yes. It means “yes, please” and “no, thank you.”

How are you, Tom? You left Nagasaki two weeks ago. I still remember the one year we spent together. Do you remember the word kawaisou? You said it when you saw our dog. Yesterday, my father and mother were talking about that.
I have started a volunteer activity at “ Nakayoshi Club.” I take care of small children and enjoy talking with them in English there. Some children can speak English well. Next week, people from America will visit our club, and the children will enjoy speaking with them in English.
I’m waiting for your e-mail. Ryota

次の英文を読んで，あとの問いに答えなさい。
Lucy is a junior high school student and lives in a city with her family. Her mother likes to grow f lowers and loves her beautiful garden. Lucy took good care of the garden with her mother when she was small. But after she became a junior high school student, she always thought,
“This is annoying. I have a lot of other things to do.” One day, when her mother told Lucy to give water to the f lowers, she f inally said, “I don’t want to do it anymore!” Her mother looked （ ① ）. She said nothing to Lucy and went out to the garden.
The next day, Lucy’s mother showed a letter to Lucy. The letter was from a boy to Lucy’s grandfather. In the letter the boy said, “You took care of the f lowers every day. And you did that for forty years! That’s great! I love your beautiful f lowers, and many other people in this town love them, too. Thank you very much, Mr. Miller! I promise you to grow the f lowers as you have always done.”
After Lucy read the letter, she asked her mother, “ ② ” Her grandfather died when she was eight years old, so she didn’t know a lot about him. “Yes, he did!” Lucy’s mother answered. She continued, “Your grandfather worked at a small station in a small town and grew many beautiful f lowers around the station for a long time. He got the letter from a boy on his last day of work. He read the letter again and again even after he stopped working. I read the letter after he died, and began to grow f lowers. For beautiful f lowers, we have to give them water every day and sometimes weed the garden. It is necessary to keep doing such work.”
“Mom, ③ ?” said Lucy. Her mother answered, “Sure! How about going there this Sunday?”
It was two hours from Lucy’s house to the station by car. Many beautiful f lowers were around it. A young man in a station uniform was giving water to the f lowers. Lucy said to the man,
“Hello, I am Lucy. Nice to meet you. My grandfather worked at this station and grew f lowers here.” He was surprised and said, “Wow! You’re Mr. Miller’s granddaughter! Nice to meet you, too. I loved his beautiful f lowers and promised him to take over his work.” Lucy caught her breath. She thought, “Is he that boy?” He continued, “It is hard to take care of f lowers every day. But I will keep my word to your grandfather!” Lucy asked, “You wrote a letter to my grandfather, right?” “Yes, I did,” he said. “Thank you very much,” said Lucy with a smile.
One month later, when Lucy was in the garden with her mother, an old woman spoke to Lucy, “I always enjoy seeing many kinds of f lowers in your garden. It’s hard work to take care of f lowers every day, right?” “Yes, it is. But the work is necessary to keep them beautiful. I learned that from my grandfather,” said Lucy.
