From: Green Science Club To: Saturday Workshop Participants Subject: Important Changes to the Garden Workshop Thank you for signing up for Saturday’s garden workshop. We originally planned to meet at the east gate of Central Park at 10:00 a.m. Because workers will be repairing the path near that gate, we will meet in front of the park’s visitor center instead.

Each group will include a volunteer who can answer questions about the garden. The event is free, but participants who wish to enter the greenhouse afterward must buy a separate ticket.

説明文｜貸出傘の利用状況を調べる

Some towns place shared umbrellas near bus stops and public buildings. People can borrow them when it rains and return them to another collection point. Supporters say the service is convenient and may reduce the number of cheap umbrellas that are quickly thrown away. However, running the service requires money and effort. One town started a six-month trial. Volunteers counted the umbrellas at each location every week. They noticed that many umbrellas were returned, but several were missing for long periods. At first, officials believed that people simply forgot to return them. After interviewing users, they discovered another problem: some collection points had signs that were difficult to understand. The town replaced the signs and added a map showing every return location. More umbrellas were returned during the following month. Nevertheless, officials did not conclude that the new signs alone had caused the improvement. The weather had been less rainy, and fewer people had borrowed umbrellas. They decided to compare return rates, not just the total number of returned umbrellas, during the next trial.

問28：What is one possible environmental benefit of shared umbrellas?

1. They can prevent all rainstorms.
2. They may reduce disposable umbrella waste.
3. They make public buildings unnecessary.
4. They eliminate every operating cost.

問29：What did officials discover after interviewing users?

1. Every borrower had lost an umbrella.
2. Some return-point signs were difficult to understand.
3. People preferred to buy tickets for umbrellas.
4. No umbrellas had ever been returned.

問30：Why were officials cautious about the increased number of returns?

1. The number of visitors had doubled.
2. The new signs had been removed.
3. Fewer umbrellas had been borrowed because the weather was less rainy.
4. The trial had never collected any data.

問31：What did the town decide to compare in the next trial?

1. The proportion of umbrellas returned, rather than only the total returned.
2. Only the number of new bus stops.
3. The price of tickets to public buildings.
4. The number of households without gardens.

全文和訳：自治体の共有傘はバス停や公共施設に置き、借りた後は別の場所にも返せる。便利で安価な傘の廃棄を減らせる可能性があるが、運営費用が必要。ある町の半年間の試行では、傘の返却はあったものの長期間返らないものもあった。最初は返却忘れと思われたが、利用者調査で返却地点の案内が分かりにくいことも判明。案内と返却場所地図を改善すると返却数は増えたが、雨が少なく借用者も減っていた。今後は総返却数だけでなく返却率も比較する。
