Your English teacher has told everyone in your class to choose a short story in English to read. You will introduce the following story to your classmates， using a worksheet.
Becoming an Artist
Lucy smiled in anticipation. In a moment she would walk onto the stage and receive her prize from the mayor and the judges of the drawing contest. The microphone screeched and then came the mayor’s announcement.“And the winner of the drawing contest is... Robert McGinnis！ Congratulations！”
Lucy stood up， still smiling. Then， her face blazing red with embarrassment， abruptly sat down again. What？ There must be a mistake！ But the boy named Robert McGinnis was already on the stage， shaking hands with the mayor and accepting the prize. She glanced at her parents， her eyes filled with tears of disappointment. They had expected her to do well， especially her father.“Oh Daddy， I’m sorry I didn’t win，” she whispered.
Lucy had enjoyed drawing since she was a little girl. She did her first drawing of her father when she was in kindergarten. Although it was only a child’s drawing， it really looked like him. He was delighted， and， from that day， Lucy spent many happy hours drawing pictures to give to Mommy and Daddy.
As she got older， her parents continued to encourage her. Her mother， a busy translator， was happy that her daughter was doing something creative. Her father bought her art books. He was no artist himself， but sometimes gave her advice， suggesting that she look very carefully at what she was drawing and copy as accurately as possible. Lucy tried hard， wanting to improve her technique and please her father.
It had been Lucy’s idea to enter the town drawing contest. She thought that if she won， her artistic ability would be recognized. She practiced every evening after school. She also spent all her weekends working quietly on her drawings， copying her subjects as carefully as she could.
Her failure to do well came as a great shock. She had worked so hard and her parents had been so supportive. Her father， however， was puzzled. Why did Lucy apologize at the end of the contest？ There was no need to do so. Later， Lucy asked him why she had failed to win the competition. He answered sympathetically，“To me， your drawing was perfect.” Then he smiled， and added，“But perhaps you should talk to your mother. She understands art better than I do.”
Her mother was thoughtful. She wanted to give Lucy advice without damaging her daughter’s self−esteem.“Your drawing was good，” she told her，“but I think it lacked something. I think you only drew what you could see. When I translate a novel， I need to capture not only the meaning， but also the spirit of the original. To do that， I need to consider the meaning behind the words. Perhaps drawing is the same； you need to look under the surface.”
Lucy continued to draw， but her art left her feeling unsatisfied. She couldn’t understand what her mother meant. What was wrong with drawing what she could see？ What else could she do？
Around this time， Lucy became friends with a girl called Cathy. They became close friends and Lucy grew to appreciate her for her kindness and humorous personality. Cathy often made Lucy laugh， telling jokes， saying ridiculous things， and making funny faces. One afternoon， Cathy had such a funny expression on her face that Lucy felt she had to draw it.“Hold that pose！” she told Cathy， laughing. She drew quickly， enjoying her friend’s expression so much that she didn’t really think about what she was doing.
When Lucy entered art college three years later， she still had that sketch. It had caught Cathy exactly， not only her odd expression but also her friend’s kindness and her sense of humor ― the things that are found under the surface.
Choose four out of the five descriptions and rearrange them in the order they happened.
（ 31 ） → （ 32 ） → （ 33 ） → （ 34 ）
a. She becomes frustrated with her drawing.
b. She decides not to show anyone her drawings.
c. She draws with her feelings as well as her eyes.
d. She has fun making drawings as gifts.
e. She works hard to prove her talent at drawing.

訳）
あなたの英語の先生は、生徒に英語の短編小説を１つ選んで読むように言いました。あなたはワークシートを使って、次の物語をクラスメートに紹介します。
芸術家になること
Lucyは期待に胸をふくらませて微笑んでいた。まもなく彼女はステージに上がり、市長と絵画コンクールの審査員から賞を受け取るはずだった。マイクがキーンと音を立てて、その後市長が発表した。「そして絵画コンクールの優勝者は・・・ Robert McGinnisです！おめでとう！」
・anticipation（名詞） : 期待
・mayor（名詞） : 市長
Lucyは立ち上がったまま、まだ微笑んでいた。だが次の瞬間、恥ずかしさで顔を真っ赤にし急に座り直した。えっ？間違いに違いない！しかしRobert McGinnisという少年はすでにステージに上がり、市長と握手をし、賞を受け取っていた。Lucyは涙でいっぱいになった目で両親を見た。両親は、特に父親は、彼女が良い成績を取ると期待していたのだ。「パパ、ごめんなさい。勝てなかったの。」彼女はささやいた。Lucyは幼いころから絵を描くのが好きだった。幼稚園のとき、初めて父親の絵を描いた。それは子どもの絵にすぎなかったが、確かに父親に似ていた。父親はとても喜び、その日からLucyはママやパパに絵を描いて、たくさんの楽しい時間を過ごした。
・face blazing red : 顔が赤くなる
・embarrassment（名詞） : 恥ずかしさ
・abruptly（副詞） : 突然に
・glance（動詞） : ちらっと見る
・whisper（動詞） : ささやく
・kindergarten（名詞） : 幼稚園
成長するにつれて、両親は彼女を励まし続けた。忙しい翻訳家である母は、娘が創造的なことをしているのを喜んでいた。父は画集を買ってくれた。父自身は芸術家ではなかったが、「よく観察して、できるだけ正確に描きなさい。」と助言することがあった。Lucyは技術を向上させ、父を喜ばせたい一心で一生懸命取り組んだ。
・translator（名詞） : 翻訳家
・accurately（副詞） : 正確に
町の絵画コンクールに応募するのはLucyの考えだった。優勝すれば自分の芸術的才能が認められると思ったのだった。彼女は毎晩放課後に練習し、週末も静かに絵を描き続け、できるだけ正確に対象を写し取ろうと思った。
・subject（名詞） : 対象
しかし、良い結果が出なかったことは大きな衝撃だった。あれほど努力し、両親も支えてくれていたのに。父は不思議に思った。なぜLucyは謝ったのだろう。謝る必要などなかったのに。後でLucyが「なぜ私は勝てなかったの？」と尋ねると、父はやさしく答えた。「お父さんにとっては、あの絵は完璧だったよ。」そして微笑みながら付け加えた。「でも、お母さんにも聞いてみたらどうかな？芸術のことはお父さんよりよく分かっているから。」
・puzzle（動詞） : 混乱する
・sympathetically（副詞） : 同情的に
母は思慮深い人だった。娘の自尊心を傷つけずに助言を与えたいと思ったのだ。「あの絵は良かったわ。でも、何かが足りていなかったと思うの。あなたは見えるものだけを描いていたのではないかしら。私は小説を翻訳するとき、意味だけでなく、原作の精神も表現しなければならないの。そのためには、言葉の裏にある意味を考える必要がある。きっと絵も同じよ。表面の下を見なけらばならないの。」
・thoughtful（形容詞） : 思慮深い
・self−esteem : 自尊心
その後もLucyは描き続けたが、満足感は得られなかった。母の言葉の意味が理解できなかったのだ。見えるものを描くことの何がいけないのだろう？それ以外に何が出来るというのだろう？
・unsatisfied（形容詞） : 不満足
ちょうどその頃、LucyはCathyという女の子と友達になった。2人はすぐに親しくなり、LucyはCathyの優しさやユーモアのある性格を好きになった。Cathyは冗談を言ったり、ばかげたことを言ったり、面白い顔をしたりして、よくLucyを笑わせた。ある日の午後、Cathyがあまりにも面白い顔をしていたので、Lucyはそれを描きたいと思った。「そのままじっとして！」と笑いながら言った。彼女は素早く描いた。友達の表情があまりにも楽しくて、何をしているのか深く考えることもなかった。
・grow to ～ : ～に惹かれる
・ridiculous（形容詞） : ばかげたこと
３年後、Lucyが美術大学に入学したとき、彼女はまだそのスケッチを持っていた。その絵はCathyの変わった表情だけではなく、優しさやユーモアといった表面の下にあるものまで、見事に捉えていた。
・odd（形容詞） : 変わった、風変わりな
１．物語のタイトル
芸術家になること
２．物語に登場する人物
Lucy:絵を描くのが大好きな女の子。
Lucyの父親：彼は（ 30 ）。
Lucyの母親：翻訳者で、Lucyを支えている。
Cathy：Lucyの親しい友人になる。
３．物語の内容
芸術家としてのLucyの成長：
( 31 )
( 32 )
( 33 )
( 34 )
彼女の絵は、（ 35 ）と（ 36 ）におかげで
上達する。
４．私が好きな場面
コンクールの結果が発表されたとき、Lucyは
「パパ、ごめんなさい。勝てなかったの。」と言う。
これはLucyが（ 37 ）ということを示している。
５．この物語を選んだ理由
私は声優になりたいからです。そしてこの物語は、
私が演じるキャラクターをより本物らしくするため
に（ 38 ）しようと努力することの大切さを教えて
くれました。
正解
①d.贈り物として楽しく絵を描く。
２段落目の文末に、Lucy spent many happy hours drawing pictures to give to Mommy and Daddy（Lucyはママやパパに絵を描いて、たくさんの楽しい時間を過ごした）.
②e.自分の才能を証明するために一生懸命努力する。
４段落目の文末に、She practiced every evening after school. She also spent all her weekends working quietly on her drawings， copying her subjects as carefully as she could（彼女は毎晩放課後に練習し、週末も静かに絵を描き続け、できるだけ正確に対象を写し取ろうと思った）.
③a.自分の絵に不満を感じるようになる。
７段落目の文頭に、Lucy continued to draw， but her art left her feeling unsatisfied（その後もLucyは描き続けたが、満足感は得られなかった）.
④c.目だけでなく気持ちも込めて描く。
９段落目の文末に、It had caught Cathy exactly， not only her odd expression but also her friend’s kindness and her sense of humor ― the things that are found under the surface（その絵はCathyの変わった表情だけではなく、優しさやユーモアといった表面の下にあるものまで、見事に捉えていた）.
の順番になっています。
本文には「絵を見せないと決めた」という記述はないです。
成長ストーリーは、「楽しむ→努力する→挫折する→最終的な気づき」の流れになりやすいです。順番を整理し言い換えフレーズに注意して読みましょう。
