Ⅰ Read the passage and answer the questions.

In many cities around the world, empty lots and rooftops are being turned into community gardens. At first glance, these small plots of land may seem (1)trivial: they produce only a tiny fraction of the food a city consumes. Their real value, however, lies elsewhere. Studies of community gardens suggest that they bring together neighbors who might otherwise never speak to one another. Working side by side, people of different ages and backgrounds share tools, advice, and, eventually, the vegetables they grow. ( 2 ), the gardens can make neighborhoods safer, since areas that are cared for tend to attract less crime than abandoned ones. There are environmental benefits as well. Plants cool the air around them and absorb rainwater that would otherwise flood the streets. Of course, community gardens face challenges. Land in cities is expensive, and a garden can be (3)wiped out almost overnight if the owner decides to sell the lot. For this reason, some local governments now offer long-term contracts that protect gardens from development. Such policies recognize that a garden is ( 4 ) a place to grow food; it is a place to grow a community.

本文の訳を見る

世界中の多くの都市で、空き地や屋上がコミュニティガーデン(地域の共同菜園)に変わりつつある。一見すると、こうした小さな区画は(1)取るに足らないものに思えるかもしれない。都市が消費する食料のごく一部しか生産しないからだ。しかし、その本当の価値は別のところにある。コミュニティガーデンの研究によれば、菜園は、そうでなければ互いに口をきくこともなかったかもしれない隣人どうしを結びつける。並んで作業をするうちに、年齢も背景も異なる人々が、道具や助言を、そしてやがては育てた野菜を分け合うようになる。(2)加えて、菜園は地域をより安全にすることもある。手入れされている場所は、放置された場所よりも犯罪を引き寄せにくい傾向があるからだ。環境面の利点もある。植物は周りの空気を冷やし、そうでなければ道路にあふれてしまう雨水を吸収する。もちろん、コミュニティガーデンには課題もある。都市の土地は高く、持ち主がその土地を売ると決めれば、菜園はほとんど一夜にして(3)消し去られてしまうこともある。そのため、一部の自治体は現在、菜園を開発から守る長期契約を提供している。こうした政策は、菜園が食料を育てる場所(4)以上のものであり、地域社会を育てる場所であることを認めているのである。
