問1[ 27 ]
In the early history of the NBA, the biggest professional basketball
league in North America, the games were often low scoring and, as a result,
not always exciting. {1}[A prime example was a game between the Lakers and
the Pistons in 1950]. The result of the game was a 19-18 win for the
Pistons. These games frustrated fans of the day, and this became a major
motivation to introduce a new rule to increase scoring: a 24-second limit
for each shot. {2}[The pressure of the time limit caused players to miss
their shots more often]. {3}[After much discussion, the rule was first used
in an official game on October 30, 1954]. {4}[Ever since, individual teams
have often scored over 100 in a game]. This simple change made the game
more exciting and saved the league.
問2[ 28 ]
You might have been told, "Sit up straight or you'll get a backache." But
is it true? People have long assumed that posture has played some role in
back pain. Surprisingly, the evidence from research linking posture and
backache may be weak. {1}[Our back is naturally curved-from the side it is
S-shaped.] {2}[Individuals have their own unique bone sizes that determine
their body shapes.] {3}[It has been thought that good posture meant
straightening out some of the curves.] {4} [According to a study examining
doctors' opinions, it was found that there was no single agreed-upon
standard of proper posture.] One researcher even says that often changing
your posture, especially when sitting, is more important for preventing
back pain. The main source of back pain may be stress and lack of sleep,
not the way someone is sitting.
問3[ 29 ]
One of the most important features in the development of civilization was
the preservation of food. Preserving pork legs as ham is one such example.
Today, many countries in the world produce ham, but when and where did it
begin? {1}[Many credit the Chinese with being the first people to record
salting raw pork, while others have cited the Gauls, ancient people who
lived in western parts of Europe.] {2}[Another common seasoning is pepper,
which works just as well in the preservation of food.] {3}[It seems almost
certain that it was a well-established practice by the Roman period.] {4}[A
famous politician in ancient Rome wrote extensively about the "salting of
hams" as early as 160 B.C.] Regardless of the origin, preserved foods like
ham helped human culture to evolve and deeply rooted in history.
