POLESTAR R・Lesson9
@
At the university of Virginia in Charlottesville,psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to take part in an unusual project.
All kept diaries for a week,recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.
One student and six townspeople in Charlottesville professed to have told no lies.
The other 140 participants told 1535.
The lies were often not what most of us would call shocking.
Someone would pretend to be more supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was,or pretend to agree to a relative's opinion.
According to the professor,women lied to other women mostly to spare the other's feelings.
Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.
Most strikingly,these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them"little worry or regret." Might that,too,be a lie?
Perhaps.
But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of lying is common.
In a previous study,for example, 20000 secondary-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics.
Ninety-two percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year,and 73 percent said they were"serial liars,"meaning they told lies often.
Despite these admissions,91 percent said they were satisfied with their own ethics and character.
Think how often we hear the expressions"I'll call you"or"I forgot it at home"or"I'm sorry,but he just stepped out."

A
 Little white lies have become very common,and the reasons for telling them are familiar.
Consider,for example,Tom,who goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law's home for a holiday dinner every year.
Tom dislikes her"special"pumpkin pie.
He always tells her how wonderful it is,to avoid hurting her feelings.
 "What's wrong with that?"Tom asked Michael Josephson,president of the Josephson Institute.
It's a question we might all ask.
 Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law's point of view.
Suppose that one day Tom's child tells the truth,and she discovers Tom's deceit.
Will she tell her son-in-law,"Thank you for caring so much"?
Or is she more likely to feel hurt and say,"How could you have lied to me all these years?
And what else have you lied about?"
 What might Tom's mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter?
And will Tom's boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own character?
 How often do we compliment people on how nice they look,or express our thanks for gifts,when we don't really mean it?
Surely,these"nice lies"are harmless and well-intended,necessary for a smooth social relationship.
But,like Tom,we should remember the words of Scottish novelist Sir Walter Scott,who wrote,"What a tangled web we weave,when first we practice to deceive!"
628名無しさん@英語勉強中:2007/07/01(日) 05:48:57
B
 Even seemingly harmless lies can have unexpected results.
Philosopher Sissela Bok warns,"After the first lies,others can come more easily."
And she writes that if our first small lies are successful,we may go on to try telling bigger ones.
 Who believes it anymore when they're told every time that the preson they want to reach by phone is"in a meeting"?
By itself,that kind of lie is of on great importance.
Still,these little deceits do matter when they continue endlessly.
Once they've become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt may cause a loss of trust.
"When trust is damaged,"warns Bok,"the community as a whole suffers;and when it is destroyed,societies may even collapse."
629名無しさん@英語勉強中:2007/07/01(日) 05:49:53
C
 Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs?
Not necessarily.
The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of the principle of trust for the principle of caring.
Josephson gives the example of telling children about the tooth fairy,or deceiving someone to set them up for a surprise party.
But he adds,"Still,we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and acquaintances the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good."
 Josephson suggests a simple test.
If someone you lie to finds out the truth,will the person thank you for caring?
Or will the person feel his or her long-term trust in you has been damaged?
 And if you're not sure,nineteenth-century American writer Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb.
"When in doubt,tell the truth.
It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."

シャーロッツビルのバージニア大学で心理学の教授ベラ・デポーロは77人
の学生と70人の村人に珍しい実験に参加してもらった。
全員が1週間日記をつけ、自分がついた嘘の数と詳しい内容を記すのである。
1人の学生と6人のシャーロッツビルの人が全く嘘をつかなかったと告白した。
他の140人の参加者は1535回と書いた。
嘘はわたし達のほとんどがショッキングだというようなものでないことが
よくある。
誰かは実際より配偶者や友人に対し協力的である振りをしようとし、
あるいは親戚の意見に同意する振りをしようとした。
教授によれば、女性は概ね他の女性の感情を傷つけないために嘘をついた。
男性は一般に自己保身の理由から嘘をついた。
もっとも衝撃的だったのは、これらの千回嘘をつく者たちが彼らの欺瞞がほとんど
彼らに「不安や後悔」を引き起こさなかったことである。
「それも嘘かも?多分」
しかしこのように日常的に嘘をつく態度が普通であるという証拠がある。
例えば、以前の研究でジョセフソン倫理研究所は2万人の中学生を調査した。
92%の少年少女が前年に両親に嘘をついたことを認め、73%が「常習的
嘘つき」である。すなわちしょちゅう嘘をつくと言った。
これらの告白にもかかわらず、91%が彼らは自己の倫理感と性格に満足
であると言った。
我々がいかによく「あとで電話する」とか「家に忘れた」とか「ごめん、
彼はちょっと出かけた」という表現を聞いているか考えよ。

ささいで悪気のない嘘はごく日常的であり、そのような嘘をつく理由は
よく知られている。
例えば、トムという男が妻子を連れて毎年休暇の夕食に義理の母の
家に行ったとしよう。
トムは彼女の特別料理カボチャパイが嫌いである。
彼は彼女の気分を害さないために、いつもそれが素晴らしいと言う。
「それのどこが悪い?」
トムはジョセフソン研究所所長のマイケル・ジョフセンにきいた。
それは我々全てがするかもしれない質問だ。ジョセフソンンはトムに
義母の立場からその嘘をよく考えるように頼みながら返事をした。
ある日、トムの子供が本当のことを言ったら、彼女はトムの嘘に気が付く。
彼女は義理の息子に「思いやり感謝します」と言うだろうか?
それとも彼女は気分を害し、「よく何年もわたしに嘘を言えたわね?」と
言うだろうか。
「そしてあなたは他のことについても嘘を言ったの?」
トムの義母は今度は自分の娘について何を疑うか?
そしてトムの息子は両親に嘘をついて、なおかつ自分の性格に満足するだろうか?
我々はどれほど多く本気でないのに、他人の顔にお世辞を言ったり、贈り物に
感謝するのか?
確かにこれらの「かわいい嘘つき」は害がなく、悪気がなく、社会関係を
スムーズにするために必要である。
しかしトムのように、我々はスコットランドの小説家シー・ウォルター・
スコットの言葉を思い出すべきである。彼は「我々が初めて騙す練習をするとき、
何と込み入った網を織るのか!」と書いた。

一見害のないようにみえる嘘でさえ思わぬ結果を招くことがある。
哲学者シセラ・ボックは警告する。「一回嘘をつくと、他のがもっと
簡単に出てくる」
そして彼女はもし初めの嘘が成功したら、もっと大きな嘘を我々はつこうと
するようになるかもしれないと書いている。
電話で捕まえたい人がいつも「会議中です」といわれて誰が信用するだろう
か?それだけでもその種の嘘は大変重大である。さらに、これらの小さな嘘は
繰り返し続くと問題になる。いったんそれらが普通になってしまうと、たとえ
小さな悪気のない嘘でも信用を失うことになるかもしれない。
「信用が傷ついたら、共同体全体が苦しみ、それが破壊されたとき、社会は
崩壊さえするかも知れない」とボックは警告する。


633名無しさん@英語勉強中:2007/07/01(日) 08:39:32
>>629
たわいない嘘はどんな犠牲を払ってでも避けなければならないのだろうか?
必ずしもそうではない。
もっとも理解させて許される嘘は、思いやりの原則のための信用の原則の交換
である。 ジョセフソンは、歯の妖精について子供達に話し、誰かを騙して
びっくりパーティーをセットすることを例にあげる。
しかし彼は付け加える。
「それでも、我々は友人や知り合いに我々のためになるときなら、嘘をついても
いいという許可を喜んで与えるかどうか自問自答しなければならない」
ジョセフソンは簡単なテストを提案する。
もしあなたが嘘を言った人が本当のことを知ったならば、その人はあなたの思
いやりに感謝するだろうか?
それとも、その人のあなたへの長期間の信頼が損なわれてきたと感じるだろう
か?
そしてあなたがはっきりしないなら、19世紀のアメリカの作家、マーク・トウェイン
がよい経験則を述べている。
「自信がないなら、本当のことを言え。それはあなたの敵を困惑させ、あなた
の友人を驚かすだろう」

駿台2007 英語構文S Passage9

Our interest in other people's lives is an innate one. The young
may show particular interest in those who seem to represent people
they might become, the older in those who seem to represent people
they might have been, but this is merely part of concern for people
whose many motives we think may one day affect us, and whose activities
seem to probe possibilities of experience unexplored in our own
lives. As participants we have only one life to live; as spectators, an
infinite number of lives are open to us.

 The people of Gandrung,Nepal,like to look at the photograph of a nameless young man.
It shows a smiling,bearded young fellow with a backpack.
The villagers think that he is the best tourist that ever came to visit.
 What do the Nepalese villagers mean by"best"?
One villager explains:"He brought most of his own food.
He helped people repair trails near the village.
He was careful not to use too much wood for fuel.
As far as the people of Gandrung are concerned,he was an ideal visitor.

 In the past,tourism often had a negative influence on the local communities.
Tourists would enjoy the beaches and see the sights,but they did not interact with the people in the community.
Locals saw tourists only as a source of money.
In fact the two groups hardly interacted at all except when buying and selling souvenirs or food.
The native people had no respect for tourists who showed no respect for them.
 Visitors caused a change in values and traditions.
Young people saw the stylish sport shoes,flashy T-shirts,and trendy backpacks of the tourists.
They got the wrong idea about the"wealthy"visitors and didn't want to live in the traditional way any more.
After the tourists went home with souvenirs and happy memories,the local people were left with problems and a natural environment that was partially destroyed.
641名無しさん@英語勉強中:2007/07/01(日) 17:10:08

 Since the 1960's people have become more concerned about global issues like peace,cultural diversity,human rights,and the environment.
Even tourists have started to think more about the people and the surroundings in the places they visit.
A lot of concerned people have joined organizations to learn more about environmental problems and other peoples throughout the world.
These same people have organized educational and friendship tours.
Through these efforts,they have brought about a different kind of tourism.
 For example,when Lura Sherwood returned to Manchester,England,from a two-month stay in Kenya,she prepared traditional Kenyan dishes for her family.
Although Lura brought home few souvenirs,she did bring home stories about the places she had visited.
Her stories about elephants and lions on the broad grassy plains of Kenya made the country come alive for her family and friends.
As Lura talked to them about the dying elephant herds,the term"endangered species"suddenly had more meaning.
For Lura and her family,the word"tourist"took on a new meaning.
 Tourists who take trips like Lura's show more respect for the communities and environments they explore.
They do not visit museums or buy local handicrafts.
Instead ,for example,they might go on a"nature tour"where they learn more about the animals,the plants,and the natural surroundings.
By being careful not to destroy anything or take"souvenirs,"they come to respect nature more.

 By the 1980's,responsible tourists began looking for ways to help conserve the environment.
To do this,they joined special eco-tours.
The first of these were to Latin America and Africa.
Part of the fee charged for the trip was contributed to conservation efforts.
Eco-tourists traveled along the Amazon River and up Mt.Kilimanjaro.
later,eco-tourists organized groups to help communities in Brazil and Tanzania.
In some areas,they helped build new trails in places where the rain was washing away the soil on mountainsides.
In other areas,groups carried stones to strengthen steep hills and to build steps.
 When eco-tourists return home after such visits,they can influence family,friends,schoolmates,and colleagues with what they have learned.
Because of their interest and enthusiasm, they bring serious environmental problems to the attention of others.
Thanks to their efforts,international laws have been passed to protect endangered species and to conserve large areas of land.
 Nowadays,some eco-tourists plan their own travels,and others join organized tour groups.
These trips may include hiking in the Andes,bird-watching on the island of Molokai,or whale-watching off the coast of Mexico.

The line between what is fact and what is opinion is not always easy to draw.
In many countries,reporters are trained in making this distinction,
finding and reporting news in journalism schools.
Japanese journalists often are university graduates trained by large news organizations.
The field of journalism stresses reporting news factually(accurately and truly),
and objectively (without bias).
The standards for deciding this,however,depend on the news organization and even the country.

 You must have heard of the Gulf War, the Afghan War and
the Iraqi War. But what about the Chocolate War? Probably not.
The Chocolate War started in Europe three decades ago and
Finally ended in 2003. It was called a ‘war,’ but of course there
Was no killing or bombing involved.

The war ‘broke out’ in 1973 when Britain joined the EU along
with Denmark and Ireland. These three countries campaigned
for the right to sell their chocolate in Europe. But because their
chocolate contained vegetable fats in place of cocoa butter, it was
not regarded as real ‘chocolate’ by the EU. The EU countries,
particularly France, are chocolate purists who believe that only
chocolate made from cocoa butter deserves the name. However,
big British chocolate companies such as Cadbury’s and Terry’s
make chocolate which contains vegetable fats. Their chocolate
is more resistant to extreme temperatures and so does not turn
which in the fridge or melt in one’s hands. Vegetable fats are far
cheaper than cocoa butter, although from a nutritional point of
view, they leave much to be desired.
646名無しさん@英語勉強中:2007/07/01(日) 18:14:55
>>645 続きです。

Until the year 2000, eight EU member states-Belgium, France
Italy, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany and the Netherlands-banned
Vegetable fats in domestic and imported chocolate. However, in that
year, British-style mild chocolate (which contains 20% milk) was
allowed to be exported to these eight countries, provided it was
labeled ‘family milk chocolate.’

In 2001, France and Belgium agreed to accept ‘impure’ British
chocolate, while Spain and Italy steadfastly refused to allow
British chocolate to even be called chocolate.

After a compromise was reached in the European Parliament,
British chocolate was finally accepted by the EU on August 3,
2003. The EU allowed Britain, Denmark and Ireland to add up
To 5% vegetable fats to their chocolate, provided that the ingredients
were fully listed on the wrappers There has been some opposition
to the new regulations from traditional chocolate makers in Europe.
And the world’s major cocoa producing countries also fear a drop in
Demand for cocoa butter.

The so-called Chocolate War has its economic aspects, of course. It can
be seen as a battle where British companies are pitted against European
chocolate makers and the cocoa producing countries. However, the war can
also be seen as a battle over national pride.

[Illegal drugs]
 Illegal drugs are in wide use in Britain today .
 They vary from soft drugs like marijuana , to psychedelic drugs like LSD , to hard and addictive drugs like heroin .
 Apparently , over half of all 18 year-old have tried at least one illegal drug .
 The two most widespread drugs are marijuana and ecstasy .
 It would be difficult for any university student to avoid some contact with marijuana : if they never smoked it ,
they would almost certainly see other people smoking it , at parties and in people's rooms .
 Since marijuana causes little social disruption , and since so many people use it , many people ,
including some senior police officers , have suggested making it legal .
 They argue that what people do to their own bodies is a private matter ,
and that attempting to stop them doing so wastes a great deal of police time and taxpayers' money .

 Ecstasy , taken as a pill , is widely associated with dance music and the club scene .
 Again , those who take ecstasy cause little social disruption ; in fact ,
ecstasy usually makes them feel very happy and friendly .
 There have been a few highly publicized deaths from taking it , but in fact it seems relatively safe ,
at least in the short term (research is continuing on the long-term effects) .
 A survey of young people entering nightclubs suggested that 97% of them had taken illegal drugs ,
and 90% intended to do so that evening .
 This is probably an exaggeration , but young people obviously feel that drug-taking is normal behaviour .
 Attempting to prevent drug use has clearly failed : the government privately admits this ,
and is focussing more on treatment .
 Cocaine seems to be taken by wealthy people , by pop musicians such as Oasis ,
but also by actors , lawyers , bankers and so on .
 It is all done very discreetly , and does not need injections , and so cocaine is seen as a high class drug .
 Heroin , on the other hand , has very negative associations .
 People think of criminal and violent drug dealers , often attacking and killing each other ;
of unemployed people forced into theft or prostitution to get money to buy drugs ;
of junkies injecting themselves with dirty needles and dying of AIDS .

[Prescription Drugs]
 In Britain , people have long taken prescription drugs to make themselves fell better .
 In the past there was valium , and today there is Prozac .
 These drugs , tranquilizers , relieve stress and make the taker feel calm .
 As a result they have enjoyed huge success .
 The problem is that they have usually proved to be highly addictive , and when people stop taking them ,
they can suffer from terrible depression , even becoming suicidal .
 The typical image is of a lonely , bored housewife secretly addicted to valium , going to her doctor every week for more pills .
[Tobacco & Alcohol]
 Tobacco is of course legal in Britain and smoking remains a popular habit ,
including among those under 16 , who are not allowed to smoke .
 On the other hand , everyone knows the risks , and cigarette packets carry strong warnings ,
such as‘Smoking causes lung cancer’or‘Smoking while pregnant harms your baby’and there is no use of modal verbs such as‘may’.
 Tobacco is heavily taxed and smoking is an expensive habit .
 Despite this , heart disease and lung cancer remain the biggest killers .

 There has been a move against smoking in recent years ,
and smoking is banned in many public places and offices .
 Smoking among men , and among the middle classes , has declined considerably .
 On the other hand , smoking among women and teenage girls continues to rise .
 Alcohol remains the most popular way to relax and forget the pressures of life .
 The pub remains the focal point of many communities ; pubs are warm and friendly ,
a good place for a pint of beer and a friendly chat or a game of darts .
 Drinking at home is also popular , with an increasing tendency to drink wine with meals ,
once regarded as a foreign habit .
 As with tobacco , there has been growing knowledge of the health dangers of alcohol ,
and there is guidance on how much it is safe to drink .
 Another similarity with tobacco is that alcohol is heavily taxed―the‘sin tax’―and ,
in fact , Scotch whisky is cheaper in Japan than in Britain .

 Alcohol is the drug that causes the most social disruption , by far .
 In many cities , the time when the pubs close on Saturday night , usually 11pm , is a dangerous time to be out .
 Many young men , and some young women , drink far too much , become aggressive ,
and take out their frustrations on the nearest person (men are far more likely to be attacked than women) .
 Alcohol is a facter in football hooliganism , in vandalism , and in many traffic accidents .
 Domestic violence is very often committed by heavy drinkers or alcoholics .
 And alcohol is a big killer of drinkers through liver damage .
 Despite all this , alcohol is widely advertised , whereas tobacco advertising is severely restricted .
 Indeed , in recent years , new products have appeared aimed at persuading the very young to drink .
 These include alcopops , drinks which taste mush like lemonade , but which contain up to 5% alcohol .
 Though the makers deny it , these are clearly aimed at teenagers , who are not allowed to buy drink until they are 18 .
 This has caused great arguments , and has at least made people think about the risks of alcohol .

これで全部です。長文ですがよろしくお願い致します。

Proposed mechanism for lethal toxicity exerted by oral coadministratiom of SRV and FT to rats and humans.
BVU, (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-uracil, formed SRV by gut flora is absorbed through the intestinal membrance,
reduced in liver by DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) to H-BVU (dihydro-BUV) as a reactive intermediate
with potential allyl brmide type of structure,
and instantly inactivates hepatic DPD through covalent binding.
The markedly decreased level of DPD markedly increases tissue 5-FU lvels, leading to death in rats and humans.

It would seem that Americans like the thrill of being scared, if only for a few minutes.
Though people have been surfing and mountain climbing for years, many new types of extreme sports have become popular in recent years.
In the last century, most Americans would have thought you were crazy to jump off a bridge with a rope or wire attached to your feet.
Now, bungee jumping has become a big hit with more and more sites opening around the country every year.
Skydiving and white water rafting have also become popular – thanks to the thrills and apparent danger.
In fact, though, because of the danger of these activities, safety measures must be set higher than they are for traditional sports.

「To Take or Not to Take」
A dietary supplement is a product taken orally that contains a
"nutritional ingredient" intended to make our overall diet healthier.
The "nutritional ingredients" in these products may include: vitamins, minerals herbs or other botanicals,
amino acids, as well as various other substances.
Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates, and may be
found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, gelcaps, liquids, or powders.
Whatever their form, dietary supplements are placed in a special category
under the general umbrella of "foods," not drugs, which requires that every
such product be labeled specifically as a supplement. The label "dietary
supplement" means that a product is not offered for use as a conventional
food or as the sole item of a meal or weight loss program.

The recent boom in health and preventive medicine has resulted in a
large increase in the sale of dietary supplements.
These products are sold in grocery, health food, drug,
and discount stores, as well as through mail-
order catalogs, on TV infomercials, and over the Internet.
Supplements are taken by many people for a variety of reasons.
Some take them fortheir health;
some just as a vitamin or mineral "supplement" to preventcolds or osteoporosis;
some as an immune system booster.
Unfortunately, many people assume that they will stay healthy as long as they take enoughdietary supplements.
Swallowing a vitamin C tablet for breakfast hasbecome a routine among the so-called health conscious.
But as the market for supplements has increased, so have the risks.

Dietary supplements are important for improving a diet that lacks balance.
And there is now overwhelming evidence that these vitamins
and minerals do produce their desired effects, like strengthening theimmune system,
or preventing cancer and various diseases.
But ironically, health-minded people who take large doses of certain vitamins
and minerals over a long period actually risk permanently damaging their health.
According to Britain's Food Standards Agency,
most vitamins and minerals are safe if they are taken in doses that don't exceed recommended limits.
However, if taken in excess, they can cause side effects.
For example,
high levels of vitamin B6 in the body have beenlinked to nerve damage,
memory loss and loss of balance.
Consumption of more than 1,OOO milligrams of vitamin C a day could lead to kidney
stones and stomach problems, including diarrhea and gas.

It is unwise to replace your regular meals with supplements,
nor is it a good idea to take too many of them.
After all,
a balanced diet provides all the nutritional requirements for a healthy person.
Quite simply,
dietarysupplements are not a whole food, but just "supplements." Just as the label says.

腸膜を通して吸収され、肝臓でDPD(ジヒドロ・ピリミジン・デヒドロゲナーゼ)によって、
潜在臭化アリル型構造を持つ反応性中間体としてのH-BVU(ジヒドロBVU)へと変えられ、
そして、共有結合してすぐさま肝臓のDPDを不活性化する。
DPDレベルの著しい低下によって、組織内5-フルオロウラシルレベルが極度に上昇し、
ネズミと人間とを死に至らしめる。

・・・出だしからして、論文のキャプションか何かだろ。学生なら自力で読めよ。
あと、誤字脱字が多すぎ。

取るべきか取らざるべきか
栄養補助食品は我々の全体の食生活をより健康にするために意図された「栄養
素」を含む口から摂取する製品である。
これらの製品の「栄養素」が含むことのあるものは、ビタミン、自然薬草、
や他の生物、アミノ酸などその他様々である。
栄養補助食品は抽出物や濃縮物であることもあり、錠剤、カプセル、ジェルキャプ
セル、粉などの多くの形をとる。
どのような形であれ、栄養補助食品は「食品」全般の中では特殊な範疇に
入り、クスリではない。そのような製品は全て特に「補助食品」とラベル
を張ることが必要である。
「栄養補助食品」のラベルは製品が普通の食品や食事の一品や減量計画に
使用されるために共されるものではない。
最近の健康・予防薬のブームが栄養補助食品の売り上げを大きく伸ばす
結果になった。
これらの製品はテレビコマーシャルやネットでメールで注文するだけ
でなく雑貨屋、健康食品屋、クスリ屋、ディスカウントストアでも売られて
いる。
補助食品は多くの人に様々な理由で摂取されている。
健康のため、かぜや骨粗しょう症を防ぐためのビタミンやミネラルの
「補助」のため、免疫を高めるためである。
残念ながら、多くの人が十分な栄養補助食品をとるほど長く健康でいられると
思っている。
朝食にビタミンC錠を飲むことが、いわゆる健康意識の高い人の日課になった。
しかし補助食品の市場が拡大すると、危険も増える。

長文ですがお願いします
Tow men, both seriously ill, occupied the some hospital room.
One nab was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.
His bed was next to the room's only window.
The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their jobs, and what they had done throughout their lives.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods when his world would be brightened by all the activity of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.
Ducks played on the water while children sailed their model boats.
Young lovers walked arm among colorful flowers, and the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by he window described it beautifully.
Time passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.
A few days later, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.
The nurse was happy to do this.
After making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he sat up to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained and slowly turned to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled hid deceased roommate to describe such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
Perhaps he just wanted to deceive you.
Sharing grief is half the sorrow, but happiness, when shared, is doubled.

Dan and Jennifer Wells were planning a May wedding. Before the big day, they bought a 50-year-old the big day, they bought a 50-year-old house with big trees all around and were busy repairing it-fixing the walls and cleaning the floors.
There was a little workshop nearby. Jennifer hung her beautiful white wedding dress there to keep it her beautiful white wedding dress there to keep it clean.
Three days before the wedding, while Dan and Jennifer were at his family's home, a wild tornado came out of nowhere. The tornado missed his family's home, but when Dan drove to his house, it was not there.
The trees as well as the nighbors' houses were gone. The tornado destroyed almost everything in the neighborhood. Just one thing was still standing-the workshop. When Dan looked inside, he discovered the wedding dress, untouched.
He called Jennifer. ''Your dress is here!'' he told her. ''I think our wedding is meant to be. The lucky couple cried at their wedding ''They're grateful to be here,'' explained a friend.

Scientists think that game like bowling was played in Egypt thousands of years ago.
Toys that look a ball and bowling pins were found buried with a child who died around 5200 B.C.
People who study history know that the game was popular among the Germans around 200-300 A.D.
It was played by people in some churches in order to show that they were good Christians.
When people bowled poorly, they had to go to church more often.
The first bowling place built inside a building opened in Britain in 1455.
Then the game was taken to the United States, where most people played it outside.
During the 1800s, many people in the United States began to bowl for money, so sev-eral cities made the game illegal.
Many people kept on bouling illegally.
Agroup named the American Bowling Congress (ABC) began around 1900.
The job of this group was to clean up bowling and make it a gentlemen's game again.
At this time, the game was mostly pleyed by men.
If women played, they hung a cur-tain up so that the men were not able to see them.
then, in 1916, a woman's group named the Women's International Bowling Congress(WIBC) made a point of showing that the game was fine for both men and women.

【Vivid Reading Unit.3 Lesson.7 So Can You!】

長いので、2つに分けます。


I was born on October 18, 1965, my parents' first child.
Probably because my mother and father became parents relatively late in life,
they let me do everything I wanted.
As her only grandchild, I was pampered by my grandmother as well.
As a result, I became a very spoiled child.
In July of 1978, we moved in with my grandmother.
The next day Iwent to a new school.
At first I enjoyed being spoken to by everyone in the class.
They all seemed so nice.
But some time later, I found myself bullied by everyone.
No one would speak to me any more.
I had to eat lunch alone.
I came to hate the lunch break as I didn't know how to spend it all by myself.
My missing pen case was found in the trash bin.
And one day, during a break between classes,
I went to the rest room and shut myself in one of the stalls.
I heard voices whispering at the rest room door.
Then a bucket of water was poured down on my head.
I went over to the sink and looked in the mirror.
I looked terrible.
"Why do these things keep happening, over and over? Is it my fault?"
Finally I couldn't bear to go to school.
