第 4問　次の英文を読み，下の問い（問 1～12）において，本文の内容に一致する最も

適当なものを，それぞれ下のａ～ｄのうちから一つずつ選べ。

　The inclusive cultures see food as something to be shared. The people there would

never take out a sandwich in front of others and not offer to share it. I am told there

is a saying in Japanese, “Even if you only have a single pea, you divide it up equally

according to the number of people in the room.” In these inclusive cultures, there is

no concept of “Will there be enough for everyone?” The Maoris of New Zealand also

have a proverb : “You bring your basket, I’ll bring mine, and together we’ll feed

everyone.” The important thing is that it is shared.

　On a bus in Thailand once, with other delegates returning from a conference, I had

packed a lunch for the four-hour ride. Having learned about hot-climate inclusion, I

brought fruit, cookies and other items that could be shared. About lunchtime, two

European men in front of me took out their packed lunches and began to eat. That got

me hungry, so I got out my lunch too.

　I offered the men some grapes. They said, “Thank you, but we brought our own

lunches.” They also refused the cookies. Then I got up and offered the grapes to others

around me on the bus : Africans, South Americans and Asians. They all happily

accepted the offering and then pulled out their own food to share. Soon we were

handing around bags of dried figs, potato chips, hunks of bread, cheese and other items.

We had a feast that day.

　The two Europeans enjoyed their own lunches, but they missed the more important

event. It wasn’t as much about food as it was about sharing with one another, leaving

no one out. It took care of those who didn’t have anything by including them in the

group. Because everyone shared, ①we were not aware of the “haves and have-nots.”

They were ②covered by the community. The inclusion value of hot-climate cultures

means that no one is left out, no one is lonely.

　When I lived in Amsterdam, a common topic of discussion among colleagues was the

loneliness of the city. I spent years trying to brainstorm with others on what to do

―  7  ―

about our feelings of isolation and lack of relationship.

　Then I lived in Chile for nine months. At the end of that time I realized I’d never

met a lonely person. It was almost impossible to be lonely. People were always

dropping in, settling into your kitchen while you cooked and chatting away. If you

wanted to be with people, you just walked out of your door and started visiting. If you

didn’t, you had to hide.

　As a cold-climate person my greatest sacrifice was giving up my privacy, my time to

myself. I never knew when I would be interrupted. It seemed exhausting until I got

used to it. Then it became second-nature to me.

　I remember another time I visited wonderful Uganda. I was shown my room. It was

simply furnished with a bed and a mosquito net. Next to my bed another mattress had

been placed on the floor and a make-shift mosquito net tied to the window to cover it.

My hostess said, “Here is your room, but don’t worry. I have put another person in here

with you, so you won’t have to be alone.” I smiled and thanked her for her

thoughtfulness.
