Questions 31 〜35 are based on the following passage.
uSesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world. " That is because the television program can now be seen in so many parts of the world. The program became one of America's exports soon after it was shown in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. Although some people do not agree with some parts of the program, parents praise it highly.

Why has "Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children's shows? Many reasons have been suggestedt such as the educational theories of its producers, the support from both the government and business people, and the full use of various kinds of television skills. Perhaps another important reason is that parents watch "Sesame Street" t
together with their children. This is partly because famous film stars often appear on

Questions 36〜40 are based on the following passage.
Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking to the beach before he began his work.
One day he was walking along on the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man was not dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"
The young man paused, looked up and replied> "Throwing starfish in the ocean. ”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
"The sun is up and tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they will die. ” "But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish
all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!n
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."
There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can become aware of that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
