Woman: I submitted a request to keep this book until Friday, and the website sent me an automatic receipt. Does that mean the extension was approved? Man: Not necessarily. Another member may have reserved it. We’ll check the records and send you a separate decision by six this evening. Woman: I see. The original return date is Monday, so I’ll wait for the decision before changing my plans. Man: That’s a good idea. If an extension isn’t possible, you must return it to the main desk by Monday evening.

A town installed a small number of solar-powered lights beside a public walking path. The lights store energy during the day and turn on after sunset. Volunteers recorded how long each light remained bright on different evenings. On cloudy days, some lights stopped earlier than expected. Officials want to check maintenance expenses and reports from people using the path before deciding whether to install more. The project is still a trial. The town cannot yet promise that the same design will work at every location, because different paths receive different amounts of sunlight.

太陽光ライトは曇天時に早く消灯する場合があり、維持費と利用者の安全報告を確認してから拡大を判断。場所の日照条件による違いもある。

問16：C（Cloudy weather）。曇天時の発電・蓄電条件。

問17：A（Maintenance costs and user reports）。費用と利用者報告。

問18：D（That the same design works everywhere）。場所ごとの日照条件が異なる。

A mobile library visits three neighborhoods where residents do not have a library building nearby. People can borrow books and return them at the next scheduled stop. The service is free, but borrowers must register first. The town hopes to add a fourth location, although the vehicle’s access to that area has not yet been checked for safety. Staff have recorded how many books were borrowed. However, they have not measured how much time people save compared with visiting the main library. Officials will review both safety and travel information before confirming a new stop.

移動図書館は3地区を巡回。4地区目の追加は車の通行安全を未確認。貸出数は記録したが移動時間短縮は未測定。

問19：D（Three）。three neighborhoods。

問20：B（Registering as a borrower）。registration is required。

問21：C（Safe access for the vehicle must be checked）。vehicle access not yet inspected。

Researchers asked volunteers to observe insects in two areas of a public park. One area had more flowers, while the other had stronger streetlights. The number of insects seen was different, but the researchers could not identify the cause. Temperatures and wind conditions also varied between observation periods. The team plans to use equal observation times and record more environmental information in the next stage. It will not claim that streetlights alone affected the results without further evidence. The town has not approved any permanent change to its park lighting.

2地区で昆虫数が異なるが花・照明・気温・風なども違うため原因は不確定。観察時間統一と追加計測後に判断。照明変更は未承認。

問22：B（Flowers and streetlight conditions）。flowersとlightingが異なる。

問23：D（Other environmental conditions also differed）。気温・風なども変動。

問24：A（Equal observation times and more data）。観察時間と環境情報の追加。

A public library has made part of its history photograph collection available online. The website has adjustable text sizes and short captions to improve accessibility. Viewing the images is free, but downloading certain original files requires permission. Staff record the number of page visits and collect comments from users. However, they have not measured whether the website improves visitors’ understanding of local history. The library is considering a new audio guide, but no launch date has been approved. Officials will review costs and accessibility needs before making a final decision.

歴史写真はオンライン閲覧可能で無料だが一部原本ファイルは許可が必要。閲覧数は記録するが理解度改善は未測定。音声ガイド開始日は未承認。

問26：A（Downloading certain original files）。一部原本ファイルのダウンロード。

問27：D（Improvement in historical understanding）。理解度の改善は未測定。

A school began a six-week program to collect used batteries safely. Students placed batteries in clearly labeled boxes, and trained staff examined them before storage. After three weeks, staff estimated that approximately eighty batteries had been collected by checking the weight of the boxes. This was not an exact count. At the end of the trial, workers will count each battery and review the costs of safe disposal. The school hopes the program will help residents learn about recycling, but has not measured whether the town’s total battery waste has decreased.

電池回収開始3週時点の80個は重さから推定した概算。試行終了後に正確な個数と処理費用を確認。町全体のごみ削減は未測定。

問28：B（An approximate estimate based on weight）。約80個は概算。

問29：D（At the end of the trial）。試行終了後に一つずつ数える。

問30：A（Whether townwide battery waste decreased）。町全体の廃棄量削減は不明。
