and an international student the discussion is about which subject should Japanese
high schools require students to study, world history or Japanese history. Choose
the best answer from choices ձ~մfor .44 .~  46/// .

Teacher: Today, we’re going to discuss which subject Japanese high schools should
require students to study, world history or Japanese history. Does anyone have
any comments on this question? Mary?
Mary: I think the purpose of studying history is to examine the experiences of people
in the past and form a view of the future by learning lessons from them. In an
increasingly globalized world, young people will have more opportunities to
meet people from various countries and work with them, not just overseas but
at home too. Unless they understand the histories and the cultures of other
countries, young Japanese people will not be able to communicate with people
from other countries effectively. Also, many problems, such as global warming,
affect everyone in the world. Unless we work together on a global level, we
cannot hope to find solutions to them. I think that high school students should
study world history in order to prepare them for dealing with global issues in
the future.
Teacher: All right. Mary thinks that  44 .

ղ internationally-minded people don’t need a knowledge of Japanese history
ճ world history is clearly much more difficult to study than Japanese history
մ young people should develop a global viewpoint by studying world history

Teacher: Do you have any other ideas? Atsuko?

Atsuko: I studied both Japanese history and world history in high school, and I think
it would be ideal for students to study both of them. I had great difficulty
passing both courses at once, but now I am sure the experience was beneficial.
However, under the current education system in Japan, it seems impossible to
require students to study both. If that’s so, in my opinion, students should
study Japanese history. When studying abroad, I was asked a lot of questions
about Japan. But I could not give satisfactory answers even though I had
studied Japanese history. I wished I had studied it much harder. My foreign
friends wondered why I knew so little about my own country. Since then, I
have always felt that people who want to be able to play a positive role in
society should know about their own country.
Teacher: Thank you, Atusko. You insist that  45 .

ձ both world history and Japanese history can easily be studied in high school
ղ it is a shame not to be able to answer questions about world history
ճ people should learn as much as possible about their own country
մ when abroad you will rarely have to answer questions about your country

14
 Teacher: Any other comments on this question? James?
James: The other day I was really astonished to discover that in Japanese high school
world history, not Japanese history, is a compulsory subject. In my country,
America, students have to take credits in American history to graduate. There
are many colleges which even require exchange students to learn it. I think
adolescence is the period when people try to establish their identities. They
really want to know who they are. Is it possible for them to do so without
knowing about the origins and development of their own country, what their
ancestors were like or what roots they have? I admit it is also important to

The Vikings were explorers who lived in the region that is now Denmark, Norway,
and Sweden. They often set sail for distant lands. Although their feats took place more
than 1,000 years ago, the tales live on in legend. Stories tell of the sailors’ voyages to
new lands and of their raids 㸫 sudden unexpected attacks during which they killed
people, seized what they could and quickly left. Two views of the Vikings have emerged
from these accounts. One view is of the Vikings as brutal warriors who led vicious attacks.
The other view is of them as noble seafarers who embarked on journeys of exploration.

In their travels, the Vikings reached Europe, Russia, North Africa, and North
America. Along the way, they often attacked the towns they passed through. Their
swords and battle-axes caused terror wherever they went. During a raid, the Vikings
would seize whatever loot and captured slaves they could fit on their ships.  47 .One
woman warrior, Freydis, led an attack in North America. When the men in her fleet
failed to follow her brutal orders, Freydis carried them out herself.
Despite the Vikings’ status as raiders, not all Viking voyages were violent. Trade
was central to their voyages. Although they might attack one town, 48 . A group of
Viking traders reached Russia by way of unknown seas and rivers. The group settled
peacefully in the foreign land. In fact, some believe that Rurik, the leader, was the
head of what became the Russian royal family.
Settlements were a common result of Viking voyages. Some Vikings took towns by
the sword; others settled peacefully. In many cases,  49 . Although they were seen
as lawless raiders, the Vikings had great respect for law. They called meetings in
which local people acted as judge and jury. Yearly national meetings to make
government decisions began among Vikings in Iceland in 930. These were the first
assemblies of their kind. The system of law in England and the United States today is
rooted in this Viking system.

number of people who work for 10-12 hours a day is increasing. On average, North
Americans are only getting about 6-8 hours of sleep a day, although most adults need
about 7-10 hours of sleep. In fact, over the past century, North Americans have reduced
their nightly sleeping hours by about twenty percent. These lost hours of sleep have been
replaced mainly by work and work-related activities.

can lead to serious work accidents. Tiredness has been linked either directly or indirectly
to some of the worst accidents in history, such as the nuclear accident at Three Mile
Island and the explosion of the space shuttle, Challenger.
Studies have also shown that an afternoon nap can significantly increase mental
abilities and improve mood. Researchers at NASA have studied the effects of taking
forty-minute naps on pilots on overseas international flights. They found that when
pilots napped, they were more alert afterward and could function better. Their reactions
were sixteen times faster than those of crew members who hadn’t napped.

exercise. This picture illustrates a posture in a gym, in which a woman with short
hair is practicing yoga. She lies on her back, breathing slowly, with her hands
crossed on her stomach, her legs stretched out, and her eyes closed.

originates in Hinduism. In this picture we see a woman with long hair wearing
a leotard and tights sitting in a special posture in a temple and praying for peace.

Part 8 Read the following passage and choose the best answer from choices ձ~մfor
question 1 to 7 ࣭56 . ~ ࣭62 .

(1) For ten years Paul Katzeff had worked as a social worker and community organizer
with street gangs in East Harlem and New York’s Lower East Side. He was tired and
wanted to get away from New York. In 1969 he moved to Aspen, Colorado. When he
couldn’t find a job as a social worker, Paul decided to open a coffee house, Greenwich
Village style. He bought an old roaster in New York and learned how to roast his own
beans. This was long before the gourmet coffee boom, and Paul soon discovered he
was too far ahead of his time. When the café failed, he migrated to Mendocino,
California. He set up the old roaster and sold his “gourmet coffee” by the pound. From
these humble beginnings was born the Thanksgiving Coffee Company.
(2) In those days, Paul didn’t realize the effect the American coffee industry was having
on people in other parts of the world. Francisco Javier Saenz, a coffee farmer in
Nicaragua, lived with the reality every day. As a founding member of the Specialty
Coffee Association of America, Paul invited Francisco to speak to members about
“Coffee, human Rights, and the Third-World Economy.” Francisco then invited all
120 members to come visit his Nicaraguan fields.
(3) Paul accepted Francisco’s invitation. When he arrived in Nicaragua, it didn’t take
him long to see things through Francisco’s eyes. As they left the airport, homeless
street children in filthy, torn clothing chased after his car, begging him to purchase

cookies or drinks. The next day, in the mountains, Francisco introduced him to coffee
pickers who were even poorer. Their huts had dirt floors and cardboard roofs. The
only windows were holes pushed out of the walls. In the corner of one hut, an
exhausted, barefoot woman was cooking.
(4) Paul took an honest look at the coffee industry. He was distressed to realize that his
company, Thanksgiving Coffee, was selling a product that was actually harming
rather than helping people. Nicaraguan coffee growers had no choice but to sell to a
handful of giant coffee brokers, which resulted in coffee prices so low that it was
hardly worth selling the beans. For every pound of gourmet coffee sold in the United
States for six to ten dollars, the farmers received only thirty-five to fifty cents. A coffee
picker’s family might earn four hundred to six hundred dollars per year, barely
enough to buy food and soap. Seeing that the Nicaraguans were in difficulties, he
realized that the coffee industry needed to do more than just sell great-tasting coffee
̿ it needed a conscience. But what could he do?
(5) Paul decided that he wanted to give something back to the coffee pickers. After
much soul-searching, he created the company’s first “social justice” program, “Coffee
for Peace.” For every pound of coffee sold, he returned fifteen cents to the Nicaraguan
coffee farmers’ organization to buy trucks and build schools and health clinics. Coffee
for Peace was an important first step in personalizing coffee, making consumers
aware of the people who grew it; this eventually led to changes in the entire coffee
industry.

24
(6) But paying the farmers a fair price for their coffee wasn’t enough. Americans’
growing appetite for coffee introduced a host of environmental problems. In the 1970s,
biotechnologists introduced a new kind of high-yield coffee plant, which grew only in
the hot sun. To keep up with first-world demand, farmers cut down their forests to
make way for huge coffee plantations. Sadly, this forest was home to thousands of
animals and birds, including 150 species of songbirds per acre ̿ the same delicate
songbirds that migrate north to the United States and sing to us so sweetly every
spring. Something had to be done before this dense tropical forest, with all its
biodiversity, was completely destroyed.
(7) So Paul decided to offer Songbird Coffee from plants that grew in the forest under
large shade trees, Not to disclose

promise reserved.
the consumer. He invited the American
Birding Association to join him. Thanksgiving Coffee developed a unique marketing
strategy aimed at the 63 million birders in America who eagerly await the annual
migration. The company created a line of Songbird Coffees and invited bird lovers
everywhere to buy it.
(8) By pioneering shade coffee, Paul made the entire industry realize that there’s a link
between coffee and the environment, between the farmer’s quality of life and the
quality of their product. Today most specialty coffees are shade-grown, and the open-
sun-coffee trend has ended. Over time, many of Paul’s “radical” ideas have become
industry standards. Coffee companies are learning from and working with the
farmers. A little awareness goes a long way. Next time you’re drinking coffee, raise
your cup to Paul and Francisco, to “not just a cup, but a just cup”
