[1] 次の英文は，東京に住む高校生の真紀子と彼女のクラスで学ぶ留学生のヘレンとの会話です。これを読んで，問 いに答えなさい。
Makiko: Hi, Helen. How was your trip to Hokkaido during the winter vacation?
Helen: Very good. It was my first time to visit Hokkaido. I enjoyed watching some kinds of birds and animals living in cold weather. I saw tancho , red-crowned cranes, near Kushiro city.
Makiko: A Tell me about tancho .
Helen: Sure. I could see the red parts of their heads and the black parts of their faces and wings. They were flying over the snow. They looked very beautiful, so I tried to write a haiku in English.
①
The red-crowned cranes playing in the snow are winter flowers.
Makiko: Great!
Helen: I have heard that cranes stand on one leg in the water when they sleep, because water is warmer than snow.
Makiko: B
Helen: I can’t either. In other places I saw a lot of water birds swimming in rivers and lakes in Hokkaido. And I met a man who gave birds food. He said,“We must watch and help these birds.”
Makiko: Oh, he is very kind to living things.
Helen: He said,“Look at that bird. It doesn’t look as fine as the others. Birds coming here sometimes eat things that are bad for them, and become sick. Some people visiting this place
②bring bad things and don’t take them home.”
Makiko: I am sorry to hear that. What should we do?
Helen: He said,“Students living here want more birds to come and to stay here. They’ll clean rivers and lakes when spring vacation comes.” It will be nice if we can help them.
Makiko: Yes! Let’s talk about it in our class.
