次の英文を読んで、後の各問に答えよ。
Hiroshi is a junior high school student. One day in an English class, his teacher
said, "We have many kinds of new technology around us. Computers, the Internet,
and AI are good examples. Do you know any people who use them well? In our next
project, I want you to introduce one person in class." So at home that night,
Hiroshi asked his mother, and she said to him, "Your grandmother, Toshiko, uses
new technology well."
A few days later, Hiroshi talked with Toshiko on the Internet about the project.
She said, "Well, you know I am a fruit farmer. I didn't use technology very much
in the past. But now, I use it every day. There are many benefits of using new
technology. I collect information about the weather from websites. I can understand
my fruit's growth by keeping records and can share that information with researchers
and farmers who live in other parts of Japan. Then I can get good ideas from them
and make my fruit bigger and better. Now I don't need to give water to my fruit trees
because AI technology can do 2 that job. Also, it is easy for me to sell more fruit
by using the Internet. In these ways, new technology has changed my way of working
and made it better. On my website, I show other farmers how to use new technology
which helps us grow better fruit." Hiroshi decided to talk about her to his classmates.
A month later, Hiroshi made a speech in front of his classmates. After the speech,
his classmate, Asuka, said, “In your speech, I like the story of your grandmother's
website. She shows her ideas about using new technology for agriculture. I hope
people will be interested in her website. If they see it, they will learn her ways
to grow fruit. Then, they will be influenced by her and start working like her.
I really respect her."
Hiroshi was very happy to hear that. He said to Asuka, "Using new technology
in effective ways has been changing the lives of many people. I want to learn about
this more and create a better society in the future."
