My Adventure Going to Toiura
My name is Hiroki and I’m 10 years old. I’m from Shinayama City， which is two hours away by super express train from Toiura， a small town where my grandparents live. Last month， my dad asked me if I wanted to visit my grandparents by myself this summer. I was really excited but also nervous； I had never been on a trip by myself！
The day of my trip came. After we arrived at the station， I bought a box of my favorite cookies for my grandparents. My parents then accompanied me to the train and made sure I was sitting in the right place. My parents told me to be careful of strangers before they left.
The tall buildings of Shinayama flashed by and suburban houses started to appear， then rice fields took over. The train stopped and some passengers got on. Suddenly， I heard， “Excuse me！”
I turned and saw a middle−aged woman pointing at the seat next to me. I moved my backpack from the aisle seat. As she sat down， she spread her arms and legs into the space I had occupied before. I retreated away from the left armrest and shifted my body toward the window.
“Are you traveling alone？” she asked me. I nodded in reply. “Wow！ Where are you going？” I didn’t know whether to respond because my parents had told me to be cautious of strangers. So， I just said， “Toiura.” The woman’s eyes widened. “Toiura！ I have a friend living there！ I love visiting her.” She started digging around in her bag.
I saw her pull out a box of fancy chocolates. “Would you like one？” she asked. I was tempted to take one， but I remembered what my parents had told me. I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to go against my parents’ wishes， but I also thought it would be rude to refuse. I thought for a moment and said， “No， thank you， ma’am.” But she replied， “Oh， don’t be shy！ Help yourself.” I breathed in and said， “I really don’t want any， but thank you for asking.”
The chocolate woman looked sad and softly said，“All right.” For a minute，there was an uncomfortable silence，then she took out her phone and started tapping on it. The tension eased a little，but I felt I couldn’t end the conversation this way. So I said，“I’m sorry about the chocolate. I just can’t take one.” “That’s fine，dear,” she said. “You’ve handled this situation in a way that’s beyond your age.” After that，we sat in silence and enjoyed the train ride.
“We are now arriving at Toiura station. We will be stopping for five minutes,” said the announcement. As the train pulled into the station，I could see my grandparents waving. The chocolate woman asked me with surprise，“Are those your grandparents？” When I said yes，she said，“How about that！ It’s a small world！” Then she hurriedly began writing something on a piece of paper. I stayed in my seat waving to my grandparents for a little bit; I wanted to show them I was on the train by myself！
As I was leaving my seat，the woman handed me the box of chocolates with a note on it. She said，“Please share this with Michiko，and tell her I said hello. I don’t want to interfere with your reunion.” I wondered how the chocolate woman knew my grandmother’s name，but I really didn’t have time to ask her. I rushed off the train，and ran toward my grandparents on the platform.
When I met them，I said，“I brought some cookies，and some chocolates from a woman sitting next to me. Maybe we shouldn’t eat them though，because she’s a stranger.” As the train began to leave，we saw the chocolate woman waving to us. “Junko！” my grandmother said. Then she looked at the box of chocolates and read the note on it.

私のトイウラへの冒険旅行
僕の名前はヒロキ。10歳です。シナヤマ市に住んでいます。そこから祖父母の住む小さな町、トイウラまでは特急列車で2時間かかります。先月、お父さんが僕にこう尋ねました。「今年の夏、一人でおじいちゃんとおばあちゃんのところへ行ってみる？」僕はとてもわくわくしましたが、同時に緊張もしていました。1人で旅行するのは初めてだったからです！
・super express train：特急列車
旅行の日がやってきました。駅に着いたあと、僕は祖父母へのお土産として大好きなクッキーを一箱買いました。両親は僕を列車まで見送り、正しい席に座っていることを確認してくれました。そして去る前に、「知らない人には気を付けるんだよ」と言いました。
・stranger（名詞）：知らない人
シナヤマの高いビル群が窓の外を流れ去り、やがて郊外の住宅が見え始めました。さらに進むと、一面に田んぼが広がりました。列車が停車し、何人かの乗客が乗り込んできました。その時突然、「すみません！」という声が聞こえました。振り向くと、中年の女性が僕の隣の席を指さしていました。僕は通路側の席に置いていたリュックをどかしました。女性は座ると、僕がさっきまで使っていた空間に腕や足を大きく広げました。僕は左側のひじ掛けから少し離れ、体を窓側へ寄せました。
・flash（動詞）：素早く通り過ぎる
・suburban（名詞）：郊外
・aisle seat：通路側の席
・spread(動詞)：広げる
・retreat（動詞）：退却する
「一人で旅行しているの？」と女性が尋ねました。僕はうなずきました。「わあ！どこへ行くの？」僕は答えるべきか迷いました。両親から知らない人には気を付けるよう言われていたからです。そこで僕はただ、「トイウラです」とだけ答えました。女性は目を大きく見開きました。「トイウラですって！私、そこに住んでいる友達がいるのよ！遊びに行くのが大好きなの。」そう言うと、女性はバッグの中をごそごそ探し始めました。
・nod（動詞）：頷く
やがて高級そうなチョコレートの箱を取り出しました。「1つどう？」と女性は尋ねました。僕は受け取りたくなりました。でも両親の言葉を思い出しました。どうすればいいのかわかりませんでした。両親の言いつけに背きたくありません。でも断るのも失礼だと思いました。少し考えてから、「結構です。ありがとうございます。」と言いました。すると女性は、「あら、遠慮しないで。どうぞ。」と言いました。僕は深呼吸して、
「本当にいりません。でも声をかけてくださってありがとうございます。」と言いました。
・pull out：取り出す
・fancy（形容詞）：高級そうな
・tempt（動詞）：誘惑する
・rude（形容詞）：失礼
チョコレートの女性は悲しそうな顔をして、「そう。」と静かに言いました。しばらく気まずい沈黙が流れました。その後、女性は携帯電話を取り出し、操作し始めました。緊張感は少し和らぎましたが、このまま会話を終わらせたくありませんでした。そこで僕は言いました。「チョコレートのこと、ごめんなさい。ただ受け取れないんです。」すると女性は答えました。「大丈夫よ。あなたは年齢以上にしっかりした対応をしたわ。」
その後は二人とも静かに列車の旅を楽しみました。
・uncomfortable silence：気まずい沈黙
「まもなくトイウラ駅に到着します。停車時間は5分です。」というアナウンスが流れました。列車が駅へ入ると、祖父母が手を振っているのが見えました。女性は驚いて尋ねました。「もしかして、あれがおじいさんとおばあさん？」僕が「はい」と答えると、女性は言いました。「まあ！世間は狭いわね！」そして急いで紙切れに何かを書き始めました。僕は少しの間席に座ったまま祖父母に手を振っていました。1人で列車に乗ってきたことを見せたかったのです！
・waving：手を振る
・hurriedly（副詞）：急いで
席を立とうとすると、女性はチョコレートの箱とメモを渡してくれました。そして言いました。「これをミチコさんと一緒に食べて。それからよろしく伝えてね。久しぶりの再会を邪魔したくないから。」僕はなぜこの女性が祖母の名前を知っているのか不思議に思いました。でも聞いている時間はありませんでした。僕は急いで列車を降り、ホームにいる祖父母のもとへ走りました。
・hand（動詞）：手渡す
・interfere with：介入する
・reunion（名詞）：再開.
祖父母に会うと僕は言いました。「クッキーを持ってきたよ。それから隣に座っていた女性からチョコレートももらった。でも知らない人だから、食べないほうがいいかもしれないね。」列車が発車し始めると、僕たちはチョコレートの女性がこちらに向かって手を振っているのを見ました。「ジュンコ！」と祖母が言いました。そしてチョコレートの箱を見ると、その上のメモを読みました。

英語読解
私のトイウラへの冒険旅行
チョコレートの女性が列車に乗ってきた後の、ヒロキとその女性の様子を最もよく表す絵を描きなさい。
（ 24 ） （写真)
列車の中での「チョコレートの女性」の感情をどのように表現しますか。感情が現れた順に書きなさい。
1） （ 25 ）
2） （ 26 ）
3） （ 27 ）
4） （ 28 ）
次の質問に答えなさい：
2人の主な登場人物の特徴は何ですか。
ヒロキ （ 29 ）。
チョコレートの女性 （ 30 ）。
なぜジュンコはとても感心したのですか？
彼女は、ヒロキが（ 31 ）したと思ったからです。
・sentiment（名詞）：感情
正解
まず物語の流れを整理しましょう。
①チョコを勧める→②断られる→③携帯をいじる→④祖母との関係に気付く→⑤再会を邪魔しないよう配慮する
という流れです。
aは、The chocolate woman looked sad（チョコレートの女性は悲しそうな顔）.
dは、she took out her phone and started tapping on it(女性は携帯電話を取り出し、操作し始めました。).
bは、The chocolate woman asked me with surprise，“Are those your grandparents？” When I said yes，she said，“How about that！ It’s a small world！”（「もしかして、あれがおじいさんとおばあさん？」僕が「はい」と答えると、女性は言いました。「まあ！世間は狭いわね！」
eは、I don’t want to interfere with your reunion（久しぶりの再会を邪魔したくないから。）.
以上のことから、この選択肢が正解と分かります。
cの「ヒロキの失礼な態度に腹を立てている」は誤りです。本文では、That's fine(大丈夫よ).と述べています。女性は悲しそうだったが怒っていないことが分かるためcは誤りです。

正しい選択肢は、「a → d → b → e」です。
この問題は、電車の中での「チョコレートの女性」の気持ちの変化を、本文に出てきた順番に並べる問題です。女性はまず、Hirokiにチョコレートを断られて残念に思います。そのあと、気まずさをやわらげるためにスマートフォンを使い、Toiura駅でHirokiの祖父母を見て驚きます。最後に、Hirokiと祖父母の再会をじゃましないように、会わずにチョコレートとメモを渡します。
これは正しいです。
まず、Hirokiがチョコレートを断ると、女性は悲しそうに「All right.」と言います。これは、自分の申し出を断られて残念に思ったことを表しているので、aです。
次に、気まずい沈黙のあと、女性はスマートフォンを取り出して操作し始めます。これは、気まずさを少しやわらげるために別のことをしたと考えられるので、dです。
その後、Toiura駅に着くと、女性はHirokiの祖父母を見て「Are those your grandparents？」と驚きます。さらに「It’s a small world！」と言っているので、Hirokiの祖母と自分につながりがあることに気づいたと分かります。これがbです。
最後に、女性はチョコレートとメモをHirokiに渡し、「再会のじゃまをしたくない」と言います。これは、友人であるMichikoに直接会わず、Hirokiたちの再会を大切にした思いやりを表しているので、eです。
この問題では、女性の気持ちの変化を場面ごとに追うことが大切です。
女性は、チョコレートを断られて残念に思い、気まずい空気をやわらげるためにスマートフォンを使います。その後、Hirokiの祖母が自分の友人だと分かって驚き、最後はHirokiたちの再会をじゃましないように行動します。
したがって、正しい順番は「a → d → b → e」です。

問題文は
「5つから4つ選び、ワークシートを完成させなさい。」
です。
このワークシートは、
How would you describe the chocolate woman’s sentiments on the train ride？ Write them below in the order they emerged.
（電車内でのチョコレートの女性の心境をどう表現できるか。起こった順に述べなさい。）
です。
まずは選択肢を見て、それを本文から探していきます。
a She is disappointed that Hiroki has rejected her offer.「彼女はヒロキが彼女の申し出を断ってがっかりしている。」→1番
→ The chocolate woman looked sad
b She is surprised to find a connection with Hiroki’s grandmother.「彼女はヒロキのおばあちゃんとのつながりを知り驚いている。」 →3番
→ The chocolate woman asked me with surprise，“Are those your grandparents？” When I said yes，she said，“How about that！ It’s a small world！”
（チョコレートの女性は驚いて尋ねた。「あれはあなたの祖父母?」そうだと答えると、「なんてことなの！なんて世間は狭いの！」と言った。）
c She shows frustration about Hiroki’s rude behavior toward her.「彼女は、ヒロキの失礼な振る舞いにイライラを示している。」 →使わない
ヒロキが、チョコレートを受け取らなかったことを謝ると、
“That’s fine，dear,” she said. “You’ve handled this situation in a way that’s beyond your age.”
「いいのよ。この状況を年齢以上の形で対処したわ。」
と述べており、苛立ちは述べられていません。
d She shows interest in something else to make things less awkward.「彼女は物事を気まずくならないように、他のことに興味を示している。」 →2番
→ For a minute，there was an uncomfortable silence，then she took out her phone and started tapping on it.
（少しの間、不快な静けさがあった。そして彼女は携帯を取り出し、タップし始めた。）
e She shows thoughtfulness in deciding not to meet her friend. 「彼女は、友達に会わない決断において、思いやりを示している。」 →4番
→ She said，“Please share this with Michiko，and tell her I said hello. I don’t want to interfere with your reunion.”
（彼女は「ミチコとこれを食べて、よろしく伝えてね。あなたとの再会を邪魔したくないから。」と言った。）
とあり、2人のために会わないことにしたことがわかります。
したがって、 a→d→b→e となります。
