問題
つぎの文章を読んで、質問に答えなさい。
Read the following passage and answer the questions.
答えは、1・2・3・4から最もよいものを一つ選びなさい。
Choose the best answer from 1, 2, 3, or 4.
電車やバスに乗っていると、お年寄りや体の不自由な人に席を譲らない若者を見かけます。
On trains and buses, you sometimes see young people who do not give their seats to the elderly or to people with disabilities.
しかし、席を譲らない若者にA聞いてみると、以前は譲ろうとしたことがあるが、B断られてしまって、その後はもう譲ろうという気持をなくしてしまったという人も多いのです。
However, if you A ask young people who don't give up their seats, many say that they once tried to offer a seat but B were refused, and after that they no longer felt like offering their seats.
若い人にとって、知らない人に声をかけるのは少し緊張します。
For young people, speaking up to someone they don't know is a little nerve‑wracking.
人に席を譲るのは少し勇気がいります。
You need a little courage to give your seat to someone.
「どうぞ」と声をかけたときに、感謝の言葉と笑顔が返ってくれば、C次もまた譲ろうという気持ちになります。
If, when you say "Please," you receive words of gratitude and a smile, C you'll feel like offering your seat again next time.
だから、もし席を譲られたら、「その必要はない」と思っても、素直に座り、笑って「ありがとう」と①答えてあげてほしいと思います。
Therefore, if someone offers you a seat, even if you think "I don't need it," please accept it, sit down, smile, and say "Thank you" — ① I hope you will respond that way.
