Rooftop Farms / In many large cities, empty rooftops are being turned into vegetable gardens. These rooftop farms are often run by local volunteers, and the vegetables they grow are sold at nearby markets or given to schools. Supporters say that such farms (1). Because the vegetables are grown so close to where people live, they do not need to be carried long distances by truck, and they can be eaten while they are still fresh. / Rooftop farms also benefit the buildings themselves. Soil and plants absorb heat from the sun, so the rooms below stay cooler in summer. (2), building owners can spend less money on air conditioning. / However, building a farm on a roof is not always possible. Soil becomes very heavy when it is wet, and many older buildings were not designed to support so much weight. Before a rooftop farm can be created, engineers must check whether the roof is strong enough. Such checks can be expensive, so many owners give up on the idea. (3), some cities have started offering money to help building owners pay for these checks.

屋上農園
多くの大都市で、使われていない屋上が野菜畑に変えられている。こうした屋上農園は地元のボランティアによって運営されることが多く、そこで育てた野菜は近くの市場で売られたり、学校に贈られたりする。支持する人々によれば、こうした農園は食料を運ぶ費用を減らすという。野菜は人々が暮らす場所のすぐ近くで育てられるので、トラックで遠くまで運ぶ必要がなく、新鮮なうちに食べられるのだ。
屋上農園は建物そのものにも利点がある。土や植物は太陽の熱を吸収するので、真下の部屋は夏でも涼しく保たれる。その結果、建物の持ち主は冷房にかけるお金を減らせる。
しかし、屋上に農園を作るのがいつも可能なわけではない。土は濡れるととても重くなり、古い建物の多くはそれほどの重さに耐えるように設計されていない。屋上農園を作る前に、技術者が屋上の強度が十分かどうかを調べなければならない。こうした検査は費用がかかることがあり、多くの持ち主はこの計画をあきらめてしまう。この問題に対処するために、建物の持ち主が検査費用を払うのを助ける補助金を出し始めた都市もある。

From: Emily Clark / To: Takumi Sato / Subject: Volunteer guides for the science festival / Dear Takumi, / Thank you for helping at our museum's science festival last year. Many visitors told us how much they enjoyed your talk about robots. This year's festival will be held on Saturday, October 18, and we are looking for volunteer guides again. / This time, we are planning something new. In addition to the usual exhibits, we will open a special room where children can build simple machines with recycled materials. Since you study engineering at university, we think you would be the perfect person to help the children with their projects. / The festival starts at 10 a.m., but volunteers need to arrive by 9 a.m. for a short meeting. Lunch will be provided, and all volunteers will receive a free one-year pass to the museum. If you are interested, I was wondering if you could reply by September 30. Also, if any of your classmates would like to join, please feel free to bring them along. We still need about five more volunteers. / Best wishes, / Emily Clark / Event Coordinator, Riverside Science Museum

件名:科学フェスティバルのボランティアガイド
タクミさん
昨年は当館の科学フェスティバルを手伝っていただき、ありがとうございました。たくさんの来場者から、あなたのロボットについてのお話がとても楽しかったという声をいただきました。今年のフェスティバルは10月18日(土)に開かれ、再びボランティアガイドを募集しています。
今回は新しい企画を考えています。いつもの展示に加えて、子どもたちがリサイクル素材で簡単な機械を作れる特別室を開きます。あなたは大学で工学を学んでいるので、子どもたちの工作を手伝うのにぴったりの人だと思っています。
フェスティバルは午前10時に始まりますが、ボランティアの方は短い打ち合わせのため、午前9時までに来ていただく必要があります。昼食をご用意しますし、ボランティア全員に博物館の1年間無料パスを差し上げます。ご興味があれば、9月30日までにお返事をいただけないでしょうか。また、クラスメートで参加したい人がいれば、どうぞ気軽に一緒に連れてきてください。まだあと5人ほどボランティアが必要です。
よろしくお願いします。

Ⅳ【大問3B型】説明文を読み、質問の答えとして最も適切なものを選べ

Repair Cafés / [1] When a toaster or a lamp stops working, many people simply throw it away and buy a new one. Repairing it often seems too difficult, and in many cases a new product costs less than a professional repair. As a result, huge amounts of electronic waste are produced every year. In recent years, however, events called repair cafés have been spreading to many countries as a way to change this habit. / [2] At a repair café, people bring broken items such as clothes, bicycles, and small electrical appliances. Volunteers with repair skills then fix the items for free while the owners watch and help. The goal is not only to repair things but also to teach people how to do it themselves. Many visitors say that after watching a volunteer fix their item, they feel confident enough to try simple repairs at home. / [3] Repair cafés also bring people together. Volunteers are often retired people who spent their careers as electricians or tailors, and the events give them a chance to use their skills and meet younger people. For some elderly volunteers, the café is one of the few places where they feel needed. / [4] However, repair cafés face difficulties. Many modern products are designed in ways that make them hard to open, and replacement parts can be difficult to find. Some volunteers say that the number of items they cannot fix is increasing. For this reason, supporters of repair cafés are calling on manufacturers to make products that last longer and can be repaired more easily.

リペアカフェ
[1] トースターやランプが動かなくなると、多くの人はそれをただ捨てて新しいものを買う。修理は難しそうに思えることが多く、プロに修理を頼むより新品を買うほうが安いこともよくある。その結果、毎年大量の電子ごみが出ている。しかし近年、この習慣を変える方法として、リペアカフェと呼ばれる催しが多くの国に広がっている。
[2] リペアカフェには、人々が服や自転車、小型の電化製品などの壊れた品物を持ってくる。修理の技術を持つボランティアが、持ち主が見たり手伝ったりする中で、無料で品物を直す。目的は物を直すことだけでなく、人々に自分で直す方法を教えることでもある。ボランティアが自分の品物を直すのを見た後は、簡単な修理なら家でやってみる自信がついたと言う来場者が多い。
[3] リペアカフェは人と人とを結びつけもする。ボランティアは電気工事士や仕立屋として長年働いた退職者であることが多く、この催しは彼らが自分の技術を生かし、若い人と出会う機会になっている。高齢のボランティアの中には、カフェが自分が必要とされていると感じられる数少ない場所の1つだという人もいる。
[4] しかし、リペアカフェは困難も抱えている。最近の製品の多くは開けにくい作りになっていて、交換部品が手に入りにくいこともある。直せない品物の数が増えていると言うボランティアもいる。そのため、リペアカフェを支持する人々は、より長持ちし、より簡単に修理できる製品を作るよう、メーカーに求めている。
