Do you know that in the US， millions of Christmas gifts are given each year？ Unfortunately， up to one−third of those gifts remain unused or are thrown away. Reducing this waste would help protect the environment. An effective way to do this would be to change people’s attitudes towards regifting.
So， what is regifting？ Regifting is when the receiver of a gift passes that gift on to another person. In many places， like Iran， Italy， and Papua New Guinea， regifting is a commonly accepted practice. However， in the US， it is a bit more complicated.
In a survey of Americans， 76 percent said they thought regifting was all right， but in reality， many are reluctant to regift. Another study showed that it was the person doing the regifting who felt bad about it， while most of the original gift givers thought the regifters were free to do what they wanted with their gifts. Even though 90 percent of the final gift receivers were content with their gifts， it seems clear that regifters remain overly concerned.
How can we change the way regifters feel？ In an experiment， one group was informed about a special day called National Regifting Day， while another was not. This information made the first group feel regifting was OK， and they regifted 3 times more than the other group. Events like this would encourage positive attitudes towards regifting.
Another idea would be to promote systems such as online gift exchanges that enable people to give away or exchange gifts they don’t need. The ease of finding people who want these gifts would make regifting so simple that people would hardly ever throw away unwanted gifts.
ワークシートの空欄（ 28 ）～（ 31 ）に入れるのに最も適切なものを、四つの組み合わせのうちから一つ選びなさい。

この過去問の解説 （1件）
01
空所に感情を入れる問題です。
感情を選ぶ問題は頻出なので、感情を表す英単語はしっかりと押さえておきましょう。
ちなみに、この図はアメリカに関するものであることも頭に入れておきましょう。
まずは、(28)と(29)です。
(28)はRegiftersの感情です。
まず、regiftとは何かの説明を確認します。
Regifting is when the receiver of a gift passes that gift on to another person.
（リギフトとは、プレゼントをもらった人が別の人にそのプレゼントをあげることです。）
したがって、regiftersとは、「リギフトする人」となります。
そのリギフトする人の感情を確認します。
該当箇所は
In a survey of Americans， 76 percent said they thought regifting was all right， but in reality， many are reluctant to regift. Another study showed that it was the person doing the regifting who felt bad about it，
（アメリカ人の調査では、76%の人が、リギフトは良いと言っていますが、実際には、多くの人がリギフトしづらいのです。また別の研究では、罪悪感を感じるのはリギフトする人だとわかりました。)
です。
したがって、Regiftersの感情は、罪悪感などのマイナス感情だとわかります。
続いて(29)は、Final receiver（最終的に受け取る人）の感情です。
該当箇所は
Even though 90 percent of the final gift receivers were content with their gifts， it seems clear that regifters remain overly concerned.
（たとえ最終的に受け取る人の90%は、プレゼントに感謝していても、リギフトする人は過度に心配していることは明らかのようです。)
です。
最終的に受け取る人は「満足」していることがわかります。
ちなみに、リギフトする人のマイナス感情は、「心配」だということもわかります。
続いては、(30)と(31)です。
この項目は、How to promote regifting（リギフトの促進法）です。
まず、(30)はEventです。
regifting becomes (30).（リギフトは（ ）になる)です。
eventに関しての該当箇所は
In an experiment， one group was informed about a special day called National Regifting Day， while another was not. This information made the first group feel regifting was OK， and they regifted 3 times more than the other group. Events like this would encourage positive attitudes towards regifting.
（ある実験で、あるグループがNational Regifting Dayと呼ばれる特別な日についての情報を与えられ、もう一方のグループは与えられませんでした。この情報は、最初のグループにリギフトは良いと思わせ、もう一方のグループより3倍多くのリギフトをしました。このようなイベントは、リギフトへの前向きな姿勢を促しています。）
です。
つまり、regifting becomes (30).には、前向きな言葉が入るということになります。
そして、(31)は、Systems （制度）についてです。
wasting gifts becomes (31).（贈り物を無駄にすることは（31）となる)とあります。
該当箇所は、
Another idea would be to promote systems such as online gift exchanges that enable people to give away or exchange gifts they don’t need. The ease of finding people who want these gifts would make regifting so simple that people would hardly ever throw away unwanted gifts.
（もう一つの考えは、人々が不要のプレゼントをあげたり、交換できるようなオンラインギフト交換のような制度を促進することです。このギフトが欲しい人を見つける簡単さが、リギフトを単純にし、不要なプレゼントを捨てなくさせるのです。）
です。
つまりこのシステムは、ギフトを無駄にすることを減らしているのです。
以上のような趣旨のものを選んでいきましょう。
28：unappreciated（評価されない） 29：satisfied（満足した） 30：acceptable（受け入れられる） 31：progressive（進歩的な）
28：uncommon（珍しい） 29：progressive（進歩的な） 30：unappreciated（評価されない） 31：uncommon（珍しい）
正解 28：worried（心配した） 29：satisfied（満足した） 30：acceptable（受け入れられる） 31：uncommon（珍しい）
28：worried（心配した） 29：unappreciated（評価されない） 30：satisfied（満足した） 31：acceptable（受け入れられる）
