When I was in elementary school, I often enjoyed watching *insects in the park near my house. One day, my mother said to me. “Haruka, you really like insects. They are your dear friends.” She smiled and seemed happy.In junior high school, I often talked about popular singers and actors with my classmates.It was fun, but watching insects was more interesting to me. I always forgot that time was passing when I watched how they moved, ate, and communicated with each other.（ ア ）
One day, there was a moment that changed my life. A famous scientist said on a TV program that insects could help people. He said, “Insects are useful in many *fields, such as medicine, *agriculture, and *engineering. For many years, I have been studying insects for my project. I want to use my research to save people when “disasters happen.” Everything about his research was new to me. I became so interested in his research that I wanted to meet and talk to him. Then I told my mother about it. She said to me, “Why don’t you send an e-mail to him?”I thought he was so busy that he couldn’t meet a junior high school student like me.However, I wanted to tell him about how much I liked insects.”When will you send him an e-mail? You can do it now,” my mother added. I decided to do it and told him that I wanted to know more about his research and insects.
The next day, I got a *reply from him. Surprisingly, he thanked me for my e-mail and *invited me to his *laboratory!（ ウ ）
One week after receiving his reply, I finally visited him. He was studying insects to make tiny machines. He said, “These machines go through small spaces to find people who need help.” I was very touched by his wonderful project. After he showed me around the laboratory, he answered my questions. He said, “It’s important to be interested in things that others do not *pay attention to. If you like something, you will become good at it. If you continue to have *interests and a strong *will, you may get some great and useful results.” His words gave me *motivation. I realized that even small insects have great power.I *strongly felt that I wanted to do research that would be helpful to people through studying insects. I found my big dream through the small world of insects.（ エ ）
The day after I visited the scientist, I told my classmates that I was more interested in insects than anything else. I told them about the scientist and his research. They were surprised and one of them said, “We have never thought that a little insect can save people’s lives. That sounds exciting. Tell us more about it!”

宇宙開発と私たちの生活
Ms. A
宇宙開発が進み、私たちの生活はより豊かになっている。人工衛星の打ち上げも活発になり、そのおかげで、インターネットやマップなどが使いやすくなってきた。また、近い将来、衛星を活用した自動運転車などが当たり前になるかもしれない。
Mr. B
宇宙開発はどんどん進めるべきだ。地球環境は年々悪化していて、このままだと住むことさえ困難になるだろう。より快適な環境を求めて、地球外への移住も視野に入れるべきだ。
Ms. C
使用済み人工衛星などは宇宙ゴミになり、ほかの人工衛星や国際宇宙ステーションに衝突したり、地上に落下したりする危険性もあると聞く。結局、宇宙開発と言いながら、それが将来の開発と私たちの生活に多くの問題をもたらすのではないか。まずは、私たちの住む場所を守る方法を考えるべきだ。

Meg: I understand. If this situation continues, living on the Earth and going to space will become more difficult.
Cindy: For now, I feel that there are still some problems that we do not know about.
Takumi: That’s true. ④（ア more information イ why do you ウ to gather エ for オ try カ why don’t we) our presentation?
