次は,健太(Kenta)がクラスで発表したスピーチである。これを読んで,あとの(1)〜(4)に答えなさい。
 I have a brother. His name is Taro. We were born in the same year. I’m fourteen years old now, but he is about seventy years old. Do you know why? Yes, he is a dog. He grows old more quickly than I.
 When my father got the dog from our neighbor, he wanted me to learn how to be kind to others. Taro and I grew up together. Taro has always taken care of me like an older brother and sometimes like a father. When I feel sad, he understands my feelings, wags his tail and barks. I know he’s saying to me, “Don’t worry. It’ll be O.K., Kenta.” When I’m happy, he looks happy, too. He’s a very   (A)  dog.
 There’s one day that I’ll never forget. One spring afternoon, about five years ago, Taro and I were walking in the forest near my grandmother’s house. After a while, we came to a small river. I saw some beautiful flowers on the other side of the river. I wanted to get them for my grandmother and grandfather. I tried to (B) the river. Then, suddenly, I fell down. I was injured and couldn’t move at all. It was getting dark. I didn’t know what to do. Taro was barking beside me. Then I said to him, “(C) Taro, go and tell my grandfather about me.”
 I waited and waited. After an hour, Taro came back with my grandfather. I held Taro in my arms and said, “You’re great. Thank you, Taro.”
 Taro is an old dog now. I take him for a walk every day. We used to run together, but now we just enjoy walking and talking. I’m afraid he’ll soon become weak and need some help from me and my family. Taro has always been beside me since I was a small child. Now it’s my turn to help him. I want to  (D)   more time with him.
